Karen Shippey - Owner

I started Cottage Whimsy in 2014.  I have been painting for over two decades, starting with projects in my own home.  Gradually, my love for DIY began to extend to friends and family, and a business was born.  I love the experiences of meeting so many people, and working in various environments to help people achieve a space they feel comfortable in and enjoy.  I've learned so much over the years, and I love that my job enables me to hone my skills while learning new ones, and building relationships with my clients along the way.
In my personal life, I am a wife, mom and mimi.  I have two big, lazy Old English Bulldogges named Brynn and Buddy.  I love animals (partial to dogs), black coffee, DIY, and country living.  I value honesty, communication, and integrity, and I strive to make these three things core values in my business.
