Before we started the renovation I was terrified about the construction timeline landing over the holidays. BUT, then it hit me: Holidays = Sales, & what better time to purchase all the pretty things for a house then smack dab in the middle of the best deals of the year?! Add to that the reality that most...
We are knee deep in the mess of demo and today is probably the very last day–so hard to believe! I have been very busy making all the final selections for finishes and getting everything on order so it gets here by the first of the year and it has been quite the process! Luckily, I...
Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite holidays, as there is nothing I enjoy giving more than nourishment by way of healthy, delicious food. This year my parents joined our feast and it was so nice to have an extra set of hands in the kitchen–Thanks Mom! We’ve been living on leftovers ever since. YUM, YUM! Having...
Everyone around me is talking turkey & meanwhile I’m all show me the TILE! and WOOD FLOORS! and MARBLE! and FIXTURES!

New cities are hard. Finding new friends is hard. & I always say that if I walk away from each stop with just one friend for life, I am a very lucky gal. My time in St. Louis, as hard as it was, came with a new collection of amazing women I get to add...
Did you bake any cookies over the weekend? I hope you did! & I hope you loved them! & if you didn’t get a chance, the recipe is ready & waiting! They fit so well within my life goal of creating something Pretty & Practical–as they are as cute as they are delicious, and not...
Halloween is over and the candy is quickly leaving the house. Yup. GONE. You read that right. We subscribe to the “Switch Witch” method of candy purging. I let the kids pick a few pieces and then they give the rest to the Switch Witch & she swoops in and takes it off to candyland...
I hope you all had a fun & festive Halloween last night! We spent ours in our new neighborhood and it did not disappoint! My kids were loaded with candy in under an hour and now…well…now we get to sort & purge the sugar! WOAH November. It’s hard to believe it’s here already. Closing day...
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.
