A lifelong love ofbeautiful spaces

Hi, I'm Shelby Kearney, a Marketing student at Cal Poly SLO with a lifelong obsession with beautiful spaces. Long before I could spell "interior design," I was rearranging furniture and dragging my mom through every home decor store in sight. These days you'll find me scrolling Pinterest and vintage marketplaces hunting for that one-of-a-kind find. I'm aesthetically driven, detail-obsessed, and passionate about creating spaces that feel as good as they look.

Concept Renderings

These renderings were generated with AI, using furniture and materials I personally sourced on Pinterest. I directed each room's layout, color palette, and styling vision. The AI brought it to life visually.

Dream Bedroom AI Rendered

Dream Bedroom

Designed to grow with her: soft florals, a capiz chandelier, and warm gold accents create a space any tween or teen would love, yet refined enough that she'll cherish it well into adulthood. No more theme phases or redecorating, just timeless, feminine elegance from the start.

Spa Bathroom AI Rendered

Spa Bathroom

A spa-inspired retreat designed to feel warm, inviting, and deeply relaxing. Rich dark wood cabinetry and earthy woven textures play beautifully against the soft checkerboard tile, while brass fixtures add a layer of quiet luxury, a bathroom that feels like a sanctuary every single day.

Mood Boards

01 Barely Holding On

Barely Holding On

A meditation on fragility and connection: cracked asphalt, windswept trees, dried botanicals, and unseen details that most people walk past. This board reflects how I approach design: every element matters, every piece connects to something larger, and beauty often lives in what goes unnoticed.

02 Grounded and Earthy

Grounded & Earthy

Inspiration for a living room or office that feels like coming home. Rich leather, aged dark wood, forest greens, and raw natural textures come together to create a space that is deeply grounding, sophisticated without being cold, nature-forward without being rustic.

03 Summer Mermaid

Summer Mermaid

Light, airy, and full of coastal wonder: sand dollars, sea glass, sheer linen, and sun-bleached driftwood layered with soft florals and shimmering water. This board captures the feeling of a perfect summer day at the shore: effortless, dreamy, and alive with texture.

Seasonal Styling

A curated collection of luxury holiday installations, from dramatic floor-to-ceiling trees to whimsical ornament archways. Each space was styled with intention, transforming interiors into immersive seasonal experiences.
