So I was near Pottery Barn Yesterday and dropped in…only to find a great sale happening. I said I wasnt going to do PB pillow covers again but I found some that I had been eyeing for a while on clearance for dirt cheap. I didnt notice how bad my old covers really looked until...
So here are the awesome fabrics I found yesterday. All were a whopping $4.99/yd…but originally marked at the least $24.99/yd. I have had a change of heart for where I am using what but here’s what we’re working with. The backdrop is the color of my office…Toasted Nutmeg by Behr. Plan: A-Chenille-will be used to...
I stumbled upon the most amazing textiles store while I was winding through Sioux Falls, SD today. I picked up a bunch of inspiration–all of their designer fabrics were 80% off! It was unbelievable! Since I finally purchased my first sewing machine this week I have been eagerly hunting for new projects. I am currently...
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.
