Project 52:52 | what we make of it

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/200, ISO 4000 ••• FIFTY TWO. No way. How has it already been a YEAR?! My goodness. I can hardly believe it. I have to say…of all of the projects that I have done this last year (and wow, there have been a lot of them!) this might be my favorite. What a...

Project 52:51 | fleeting

Metadata: f/1.4, 1/50, ISO 6400 (yowza) ••• It’s been an exhausting month. Between the holidays…a fiery two year old…third trimester of pregnancy…AND a husband TDY (which means GONE, for those of you non-military folk) it’s been tough. I won’t lie. But every night I let her fall asleep with her “christmas” on…her lime green tree...

Project 52:50 | limiting

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 6400 ••• Yep. It’s time. I am being forced to cut back on my not-a-lot-of-sleep-on-my-feet-all-day normal. I just can’t do it without someone getting the short end of the stick. & my girlie doesn’t need a cranky mommy. So…it’s time to take a breather. It’s been so dark & overcast around...

Project 52:49 | uncomfortable

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 3200 ••• Well hello third trimester. & hello heartburn. Fatigue. Moodiness. Aches. Teeny bladder. Varicose veins where?! omg. Is it over yet? Nope. Not yet. If I’m lucky, I get 10 more weeks of this joy! I’m thankful for this pregnancy & comforted in knowing this will be my last. Yep....

Project 52:48 | cozy

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/80, ISO 6400 ••• Holy productive week. I cannot even begin to tell you the projects that have been accomplished, and I CANNOT WAIT to share my *almost* complete office + guestroom transformation. The barn doors  are done & the burlap bedskirt + ruched duvet are made. I can’t wait to share the...

Project 52:47 | thankful

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 640 (taken by my hubby) ••• I hope you are enjoying this holiday weekend! :) We’re working our tails off on the barn doors + decorating for christmas. Hooray! More on both coming to the blog soon! ••• & if you happen to be new here & want to learn more...

Project 52:46 | rough

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/125, ISO 5000 ••• confession: I haven’t touched my camera since last week’s project 52. Nope. This is a cheat week. I took this last month on a very tumultuous trip back to the San Francisco Bay Area to visit my family. It was not fun…thanks to a very moody babe. I left...

Project 52:45 | goal-oriented

Metadata: f/2.8, 1/100, ISO 1600 ••• I’m not quite sure how to describe how I am feeling other than to say it’s a lot like the feeling I had the day before I gave birth: nervous. excited. anxious. ready. accomplished. fulfilled. at peace. All of those things & more. This is the week before one...

Hi! Hello! I am Shawna, the founder of Styleberry Blog. This creative corner of the internet has become a learning haven for moms and creatives, offering a warm and encouraging nudge to those who wish to be better and do better, but often don't know where to start. From Decorating to DIY to Diapers and Paleo-ish Dishes, I strive to make the complicated simple and empower women to take action beyond their personal comfort zone. I subscribe to the Shine Theory & so strongly believe that we shine when the women around us shine and mutual support—lifting up instead of tearing down--will always be the culture here. Are you in? I hope so! Beyond the computer, I run Styleberry Creativewhere I work with clients to create low fuss, high function spaces that are pretty and practical in San Antonio, Texas and beyond. I LOVE making a house a home. My own studs out renovation is almost complete and I am now back to working with clients. Please don't hesitate to drop me a line if you'd like to work together! I hope you’ll join me on this fun new adventure! Xo.
