Boy, have I missed y’all.
I’ve never quite found a level of busy like this. We have literally worked around the clock, and now, finally, we are breathing again.
All the time, energy, and work is already paying off, and I could honestly not wait any longer to share pictures with you! I’ll snap some from the outside tonight, and shoot some full-room shots, too.
Until then, I’ll snap a pic between customers, and blog in between some more….which is a good problem to have, I know.
It was really important to me to carry items I would immediately put into our home, both new and old.
It’s funny, people keep asking if I’m going to do any painted pieces in here, and I kind of love that my pieces are blending in with the new ones. That’s how I’d want it to be in our home, right?
We honestly had no plans to have customers before the 10th, and have been pleasantly surprised at the drop-in traffic this week. Our first sale was on Monday, waayyy before the shop became presentable!
We did a little winter wonderland window decking, too, and I’ll tell you all about that soon!
How adorable (and functional) are those spools of scissors and twine?!?
And the Christmas, oh, the Christmas…
We’ve got a major day of fun tomorrow for the Grand Opening:
We’re giving away all sorts of goodies like Perfectly Imperfect t-shirts, MMS Milk Paint, Chalk Paint, gift coupons, and lots of other fun stuff!! If you’re in town or know someone in the Troy, Alabama, area, come on in and sign up! A lot of you guys have asked…Our address is 52 East Court Square, Troy, AL. 36081. Let me know what you think…can’t wait to share more with you and hope to give some of you a neck hug tomorrow!!!
Everything looks just gorgeous! It looks like such a fun place to shop. If I lived a little closer to your neck of the woods, I’d be there in a heartbeat!
I so enjoyed seeing everything and getting a little shopping done yesterday. The name of the shop may be Perfectly Imperfect but the shop is PERFECT. and how blessed am I? I live just a few miles away.
Praying God’s richest blessings on you, your family and your new business.
Congratulations Shaunna. The shop looks amazing- you must be so excited (and exhausted)!
Love it all! So proud for you and cant wait to see more pictures!!
So gorgeous I can’t stand it…you have created my DREAM shop!

Question for you – what brand is that sofa in the picture above? Love the look of it! Wish I lived closer so I could come see your new place. Maybe someday! Congrats!
Wow! I am so excited for you! I just adore your tree! It’s a nod to my cotton-farming Dad. What a cute idea!
It is sooooo gorgeous and I am sooooo heartbroken I live way in ny because I want one of everything in there! Best wishes for your grand opening! Looks like it’s bound for huge success!!
I’m drooling…can we buy online? As a Brit living here, I am eyeing up that Union Jack pillow! Congratulations Shaunna on your success and thank you for inspiring us.
What a beautiful store. Wish you sooooo much success!
Best wishes and prayers too are being sent your way.
Your pictures are great and can’t wait to see more.
Congratulation Shaunna!
Absolutely Fabulous! Wish I was closer, or you were closer. Best of luck!
Your very own Pottery Barn!!!! EEEPPPP! Shaunna, I just LOVE it! Way to go, Ladybug!
Gorgeous. You should be so proud!!! All the hard and look at what you have created!!! Amazing! Your vision to reality!!!

Gorgeous ! Wish I could visit down there .
Thank you for including your address. I can’t tell you how often I read a wonderful blog with pictures or snippets about an upcoming show or Open House and they fail to mention where it will take place. They don’t even give you the town much less an address. It has turned out looking great and I know what work it takes to get a shop up and going. I wish you the very best on your venture. Take a deep breath and enjoy your official Opening Day. Kaaren
Oh my gosh. Your shop makes me swoon. Love all the big and small details. Just googled it and you are a 17 hour drive from me. Made we want to cry. No chance you setting up something online is there 😉
Congrats. All your hard work has really paid off
Shaunna, it looks fantastic. Congratulations on the new shop. Love it all! Danielle x
Sooooooooo wish I lived close!!!
Shaunna, your shop is just the most creative, inspirational and fun place I’ve ever seen! Here’s wishing you heaps of success and happy times in your new abode. I heart it! heather x
I can’t believe how much you have all done in such a short period of time! Good luck tomorrow and enjoy all that you have worked so hard to achieve.
My friend and I are driving down to see your shop, tomorrow….see you then…..
Everything looks so great! Really!
I wish I lived closer so I could come and see it all in person!! I also googled just for the heck of it!! 13 hours, a little too far for a “day” trip. Know it will be fabulous. Enjoy!!
Everything looks great. Wish I could be there. Great Success to you.
You have been busy! Good luck tomorrow 🙂
AMAZING! How cool to have so many pretty things all together. I so wish I could come see your shop in real life – instead I will *patiently* wait to see more pictures. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with all of us.
I’ll take one of everything….oh if money were no object! So amazing! I have become such a big fan of yours! Seeing you bring the shop together has really inspired me and given me my own dreams and goals to reach for! My garage is already full of furniture to paint. Congratulations and wishing you much success on this journey!
Came by Thursday and looked around! Wow! You should be so proud. Everything looked great. So proud for you, and wish you much success,
Congrats, the shop looks fab!
Looks great Shaunna – love the Chrissy things – well done & enjoy.

I will be thinking about you and wishing you lots of luck on your grand opening today. I live in Montgomery and will definitely make may way over to see you as soon as I can! So happy for you and your family.
There’s only one problem here, YOU’RE NOT IN ARIZONA!!! I’m adoring every bit of your shop! All the best with your Grand Opening!!!
p.s. I put real cotton plants on my tree every year too. My husband is a cotton farmer. 🙂
Congratulations Shaunna and Matt! Must include Matt! I can’t wait to come peak around and cheer you guys on during your Grand Opening. The photos look winderful. I have a feeling it’s going to feel more like “Perfectly Perfect” Isn’t that what Mary Poppins says? Or is it “Practically Perfect” – that’s it. In any case, I hope this day brings you many blessed memories and see you soon!
Exciting times for you. Thanks for taking me along for the remodel.

Congratulations Shauna and Matt!! You store looks amazing from your photos and hard work. I am praying that God will continue to bless you with the growth of your new business and continued success. Wish I lived close, I would be at your Grand Opening! God Bless you both.
Blessings and prosperity.
Is that a cotton garland??? And I love the burlap ribbon!
looking forward to more pics! I wish I were closer, because I’d totally be in there!!
Can we buy online? In love with Union Jack pillows…as a Brit living here 🙂 Congratulations Shaunna, keep inspiing us!
Hi! I stopped by the store today. I am not a blog reader, but, a regular peruser of the antiques store. I just wanted to tell you: 1- AWESOME. The store is super! 2-Congratulations! The store looked great & your grand opening was a fun time! 3-How cool was the square on Saturday!?!?! We live in a super fantastic town! Thanks for all of your hard work.
It looks AMAZING Shaunna!! I LOVE those lanterns sitting in the window with the Christmas tree!!!
Congratulations Shaunna, your shop and inventory is great. So many pretty things.
I;m sorry I live so far, but I enjoy the pictures. I love the Christmas items. Can I buy on line?

So you’ll be opening a shop in Vermont soon, then, right?
WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS! Will your store be online? It looks just beautiful. Good luck and god bless. Always keep us posted!
The store looks amazing, hope you open an online store as well.
Congratulations and good luck!!

XOXO,

I love the natural cotton garland on the tree. Is that something you sell in your store, or could you tell me where you found it? I live in NC and I think that it is beautiful on the tree!!
I am SO,SO,So pumped!. I just discovered you, love the look of your store and was prepared to find out it was 500 miles away. What a happy that you are less than an hour away. I will be visiting!
xoxo
