About
I’m Shauna Mailloux. I believe that the appreciation of aesthetics is a God-given blessing to indulge. Beautiful matters. Like many others, I feel that I am deeply influenced by my environment, which is why I strive to make my surroundings beautiful and uplifting.
I am a maker and I take great satisfaction in creating things with my own hands, especially when it comes to turning a house into a home. It is a constant balancing of striving to live in a beautiful & inspiring environment without wanting to idolize my home. The goal is to live in a place that brings you joy so you are able to then share that with others.
I grew up in Pennsylvania, where I graduated college with a studio art degree.
Now, I sell watercolor house portraits on my etsy shop and contribute DIY projects to Celebrations.com.
I dated my high school sweetheart for six wonderful years before our wedding two summers ago.
We now live in North Carolina with our two dogs, Leo and Jaida.
My husband, Phil, is in the Air Force, so we’ll be making a bittersweet transition this summer from our first home to Montgomery, Alabama!
This blog is where I share the projects that are energizing me at the moment – home improvement and decor, DIY crafts and projects, event planning – all things creative and visually pleasing! I especially love the challenge of creating and renovating on a tight budget using upcycled or repurposed items. My goal is to inspire others to bring out their creative side and make life beautiful!
