Hi I’m Shannon! I am an OCD clean, craft loving dork who is passionate about design, architecture, DIY projects, journalism, reading, hiking, dancing, cooking, my family, my boyfriend David AND (last but not least) my tiny dog, Japhy, and our kitten, Butters.

I am a recent college graduate trying to figure out life as an adult including bills, credit cards, renting, and planning for the future. In the meantime, between 40+ hour work weeks, cleaning the house, exercising, and caring for David, Japhy, and Butters, I am squeezing in DIY projects to complete my hand-me-down furnished house.

With encouragement from my baseball obsessed college sweetheart of six years I am braving the blog world with my thoughts and ideas.

I’m armed with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, an obsession with simple solutions to everyday problems, and a boatload of ideas to keep me entertained. Organization and cleanliness are my ultimate pet peeves (yeah, I’m that dork). Craftiness, cooking, literature, and hiking are my ultimate guilty pleasures.

Read this blog and you’ll find DIY projects, style ideas, organization ideas, thoughts on life, beautiful photography, decorating ideas, and anything else in between! Stay tuned because my story is just beginning to unfold.
