Welcome to Calypso in the Country
Welcome! My name is Shelley and this is my blog – Calypso in the Country!
While you’re here, I hope to inspire you with home decor, entertaining tips, tablescapes and anything to make your home more beautiful!
My decorating style leans toward traditional with a coastal twist and a splash of British Colonial! I love adding color to my home but I tone it down with neutrals and textures.
Basically, my goal is to make my home feel like a vacation that never ends. Speaking of vacations, I occasionally share our travels on the blog as well. Although as a busy family, we don’t get away as much as we’d like!
