Acheson, Shannon: - Shannon Acheson (www.homemadelovely.com) is a mostly self-taught designer, decorator, writer, and stylist. Although she has completed her interior-design training, she'd much rather teach you how to decorate your own home than do it for you. She is the editor and designer behind the design and lifestyle company and blog Home Made Lovely. Her happy place is in the suburbs of Toronto, where she is a Homebody with a capital H, a Jesus girl, a happy wife to Dean, and a homeschooling mom of three teenagers.
