Vintage & Eclectic
Coastal Inspired Home
Furnishings & Decor
The Open Shutter combines my love for home decor & creating, with my love for the sea. These things have been a passion in my life ever since I was a young girl. There is too much to tell about how these 2 things have influenced my life! If you want to know more, just ask. I'd love to share!
My decor style is always coastal inspired. But I like to call it Vintage & Eclectic Coastal. I love the mix of the "old" (love vintage wood furniture and old nautical decor) combined with the "new" (clean lines of modern but transitional upholstered furniture, bold prints and fun patterns in fabrics), and of course decor inspired by or straight out of the sea! I always try and combine all 3 elements into my personal decorating for my home, but not necessarily for my clients. Everyones home should be a perfect reflection of who they are...not cookie cutter :)
I have been decorating homes since I can remember! Even as a child I would rearrange my room every couple of months and design homes for hours on the computer! It is simply part of who I am and I can't get enough! I have been doing interior decorating professionally for 8 years. I am a mural painter and also own and operate a successful wedding and event design company for the past 5 years.
I wear many hats BUT most importantly, I am a Christian. I prefer to say that I follow Jesus. :) He is my Rock. He is the reason I do anything and everything that I do. Next in line to God, is my amazing husband and 3 beautiful and crazy kids! I am blessed to do what I love to do and have people who support me!
If you visit the shop, please let me know and post pics of anything you purchased! I love to see how people use the items they have bought from The Open Shutter in their own decorating.
The Open Shutter is available for personal design consultations, design boards, and full service interior decorating.
