Meet Kim
Hi, I’m Kim — the gardener, decorator, and storyteller behind Shiplap and Shells.
I share life in our 1920 beach cottage and Pacific Northwest garden, where vintage charm meets coastal living. My husband and I (and our two pups, Jax and Ollie) have spent the past 13 years turning our little seaside cottage into a cozy home filled with character, blooms, and heart.
Here on the blog, you’ll find cottage-style decorating ideas, gardening inspiration, and glimpses of our coastal lifestyle on Puget Sound — all shared with a love for the seasons and the simple joys of home.
