'Everybody wants a beautiful home.' says Sharin Louis, owner of Shabby Rose Decor. On a cold day we took refuge in her 'she shed' where she sells many of her items. Sharin refurbishes furniture with her onlays, and embellishments to give them a look that 'harkens back to a simpler time' when attention to detail was valued. Sharin also renovated a 1947 Mainline trailer and gave the interior a cozy vintage feel. She is driven to create beauty and calm, taking satisfaction in the transformation. All of her pieces are from thrift stores or estate sales. She prefers something with a story, whether it is a cabinet or an old house. It is evident, from the cushions to a vanity table that the colors tend to be soft, the touches are floral and feminine, and there is a sense of joy in the creation of a home. Sharin says that ultimately it is about a space in which you can 'slow down, enjoy family, and do what makes you happy'.
