Welcome to the Shine Design Journal
Every beautiful space starts with a spark—an idea, a material, a story worth telling.
This is where we share those stories—from design inspiration and behind-the-scenes moments to project reveals and the trends we’re loving.
We’re so glad you’re here. Whether you're a longtime client or just getting to know Shine, we hope these glimpses into our world leave you inspired.
the Grumpy Rabbit {design process}
There is beauty and joy to be found in each step and it is exciting to us to reflect on the process that got us to the completed project. We love to share a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the finished product!
We hope that you’ve made the trip out to see the Grumpy Rabbit in person! The food is fabulous, the hospitality amazing and we’re pretty keen on the atmosphere, too!

Not only were our clients looking to renovate the space, but they were also looking to develop a full-fledged restaurant concept that would infuse life, color, and bring really (really!) amazing food to Lonoke’s downtown.

Prelude to a kitchen
Unlike the 90’s clothing fashion trends that keep popping up, it is coming to pass that houses built in the 1990’s are due for some serious upgrades. Our sweet friends came to us (after completing their super-fun Mudroom updatel) when they decided they wanted to get into remodeling their kitchen.
