The Brinkley's have moved from Austin, Tx across the country to Northern Virginia! This is where Matt (my husband and business partner) grew up. We moved here to be closer to Matt's parents, and are loving it! Especially right now as so many bulbs and trees are blossoming; it's a beautiful and auspicious time for a fresh start!
This isn't our new home, just one of the lovely historic buildings in this ridiculously charming Colonial town.

I think daffodils have to be the most joyful of flowers. As someone who grew up in Texas, they feel like such a delightful novelty, and I'm LOVING seeing them all over town.
We're staying in an Air B&B while we close on and renovate our new house. We were only in town for 2 weeks before we found and snagged the most darling house that we can't wait to move into, but needs a little TLC before we do.
We're also finalizing negotiations on a beautiful space to house the Shannon Brinkley Studio! It is walking distance from our home and in a great spot, PLUS is a beautiful old Victorian home that was a hotel in the 1800s. It has tall ceilings, crown molding, and a kitchen for my fabric dyeing!
I can't wait to spread out and make this as functional and creative a space as possible. So leave a comment below with your best studio organization tips and tricks and we'll give you a peak behind the scenes and share lots of photos as we set up our new studio space!

Congratulations!
Tip for studio- If you have to move something to get to something it won’t stay as tidy.
Tip for new area- crank up the B vitamin in the summer and the mosquitos will leave you alone. We start this 3 days before we go back to visit family in Ohio.
No tips, just want to say welcome to Virginia! I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else in the would! Leesburg is quite charming. Enjoy your new adventure!
How exciting!! We will miss y’all here in Texas but can’t wait to see pictures of your new places, I love old homes and buildings!! Congratulations 🎉
