Hi, I’m Shannon!

I’m 27 years old, married to the love of my life, David, and we have two fur babies; Johnsey (German shepherd) and Ryser (German shepherd/lab). I’m a personal trainer, but my favorite job is making a comfortable home for all my boys.​

David and I both grew up in large families where we were rich in blessings, but poor financially. Our parents raised us to be smart and resourceful with our money.

When I was just barely 23 years old, I purchased my first home by myself. With a grocery store clerk budget, I had to learn how to be smart with my money pretty quickly. I had just purchased a beautiful, recently updated ranch home and I wanted to fill it with magazine worthy items.

It took a lot of DIY projects, managing money properly and thrifty shopping to create the beautiful space I had dreamed of. It was a challenge, but I did it and I love to share with others how they can do the same!

When David and I picked out our ranch-style home, we bought it with the intentions to flip it as we live in it. I left my other house, but I brought with me the passion to set up a beautifully designed home on a slim budget. We love transforming our home into our dream home and I hope you get some inspiration from our journey!

I am all about making a home on a REAL budget and I love sharing my tips and experiences with people and helping them find a way to create beautiful spaces within their home.
