About Me

We began our journey of remodeling my childhood home in early 2009. We lived here for nearly 5 years before we finally got down to ripping out walls and installing floors. It's been quite a journey, but it's long from over!
 
My husband, Mr. SCC, and I have two girls, Lala and Bre. We enjoy our creekside life in our shabby little cottage. Our home is a calm, sweet place to be, wellll... unless there are skill saws buzzing during construction! We take on all of our projects with our own labor saving all the costs, but have the luxury of a custom home on a fraction of the budget.
 
If we don't know a skill, we learn it. If we can't find what we like, we build it.
 
Between construction jobs, you can find me working away filling up my Etsy shop with lovely new treats, or reading a book between episodes of NCIS.
 
Contact me any time at theshabbychiccottage@rocketmail.com - I'd love to hear from you!

  5. I love finding someone that speaks my language..."Cheap"! You share beautiful ideas that stir the imagination. I am in a very frugal state of mind now and am scanning my surroundings, looking for ways to bring a little oomph to a corner, a couch, a shelf, etc. Thanks for the inspiration! Cindy

  12. Wow, I just discovered your blog by accident while looking for ideas on how to paint an antique dining set I just acquired (for $100!)...
    I'm obsessed with the beachy shabby chic look, and so I was thrilled to find your blog, which is absolutely filled with things I love! I have a feeling I'll be on here tons while I attempt DIY projects on my new home in the coming months (it's finally summer here in Canada!).
    Thanks so much for this lovely & helpful site!
