A Home Defines Your Style

Decorating for Shelly is a collection of antique finds, expressions of her art, her books, and her travels!


Creative in every venue~a true artist~with HEART and SOUL!
Shelly finds creative ways to store any collection!

New York, Savannah, Los Angeles, Belgium, France, England, Italy, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, and .............
numerous other places of interest~this young woman has lived and traveled!  She is the essence of an artist~a beautiful person inside and out and a heart for all things creative and beautiful.  Her kind and gentle spirit flow from her like water flowing from a spring..... naturally.  She has and always will be the life of a party, walking to her own heart felt beat!  She is truly loved and she inspires all who know her.  She earned a degree with highest honors from Savannah College of Art and Design  a few years ago and the story is still unfolding in beautiful ways!  Her home in the photos above definitely defines STYLE with her own signature everywhere!

All  five of our children growing up had their own style and bents.  Each one, I was blessed to mother and enjoyed each and every day that God gave to me when they lived under our tent~so to speak! Be prepared to learn as much as you teach in life!  I would offer six A's that children need to survive and grow (adults need this too)~this was shared with me years ago and it's so true!

1.  Acceptance
2.  Affection
3.  Appreciation
4.  Availability
5.  Accountability
6.  Authority

Children will be different!  Wise and loving parents  will embrace them with encouragement!  I pray you have a day where you are encouraged.  You are valued and you are worthy!  Psalm 139:14 "I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well."
Wow!  What an Artist our God is.....He made you and you are wonderfully made!  Enjoy your weekend!!!
