Hi! I’m Shelley and I live in Kentucky. I’m married to my best friend, Greg, and we have three precious babies.

I was a professional singer/songwriter for 10 years before we had our first baby and I honestly expected to go back to work shortly after having Bo. However, the weeks turned into months and I just couldn’t bring myself to leave him!

One of my best girlfriends encouraged me to start an Instagram account to share all of the DIY projects I was doing during nap time. I thought she was crazy, but the idea never really left me.

I took the plunge and started @shelleybateshome in February 2021. Before I knew it, my little account had turned into a full-time job! I absolutely love sharing my projects with you and teaching you everything I’ve learned over the years.

I consider myself pretty fearless when it comes to building and designing and I have so much fun with it. Check out my Instagram account for projects, deals, and daily stories!

I believe any home can become your dream home with a few tools and a little fearlessness.
