Shalene Hendrickson began decorating and staging for Brookings Built Green from the start to allow potential homeowners to get a better feel of each unique property. Shay's main focus is lighting and furniture. She believes the most important factors to each of these are to be eclectic - meaning all different styles of lighting and furniture. She enjoys mixing old and new styles so that the space does not become outdated. Her favorite is to add heirloom quality furniture, rugs, and antiques in modern homes for warmth. It's all about the feeling you get when you enter a space. Shay is married to Dusten and they have three children. They have a son on the spectrum and that makes it more difficult to go places, so Shay focuses her time and energy into creating beautiful comfortable spaces for their family to enjoy together. You will also see them on many family bike rides around Brookings.
