Shanon Dean
Meet Shanon
Having lived in over 38 homes, mostly in the Bay Area and Northern California, except studying abroad in Sweden, living in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Southern Oregon, she makes each place her home.
You can find Shanon cooking up something yummy in the kitchen, snuggling with her 2 cats and very large dog, Guidry when she isn’t busy with her Begin Again projects or her other two businesses: Manifesting Dreams Marketing and Stargazer Gourmet.
Always one to stay active when she can, Shanon loves traveling (16 countries so far!), cooking / baking / trying new foods, line dancing, cozy movie nights and spending time outdoors backpacking, paddle boarding and road tripping.
Guilty Pleasures: Reading serial killer and crime thrillers and true crime podcasts. And eating at world-class restaurants! And wine. Can’t forget wine.
Runs On: Coffee, charcuterie boards, and good food
Current Obsessions: Creating Costumes for the next holiday party!
Design Style: Modern Farmhouse – Her home is full of neutral tones with pops of color and sparkle to create a cozy & casual, but elegant feel.
Favorite Pieces: An oversized grey sectional perfect for family time and cozy movie nights. An infrared sauna to quench the tired muscles and renew the organs so they can Begin Again!
Favorite Projects: To organize, a master bedroom closet or pantry. To style, living/family room since it’s the heart of the home.
