Meet Shelley
A Personal Approach to Beautiful Living
For Shelley Davenport, great design begins with discovery.
As founder and principal designer of The Open Door Style & Design, Shelley believes a home should feel layered, welcoming and deeply personal to the people who live there.
Her approach combines an intuitive understanding of her clients with a discerning eye for furnishings, color, texture and detail.
Shelley personally guides each project from the initial vision through selections, procurement and final installation, bringing the many elements of a home together into one cohesive story.

Before & After
Same room. Completely different life.
The Drayer kitchen was closed in and dated. We opened it up, rebuilt the cabinetry, and gave the room a long island to gather around.
