Welcome to Season 11 of Couture & Construction! This season, The Art of Storytelling in Design, explores how personal histories, cultural influences, and lived experiences shape the spaces we call home. On today’s episode, host Andrew Denny sits down with Olympic gold medalist, creator, and homeowner Shawn Johnson.

From world-traveling athlete to Nashville mom of three, Shawn shares how her journey, family roots, and travels around the world informed the vision for her family’s new home remodel. She opens up about honoring the property's original character, navigating the realities of a major remodel, building alongside her parents, and assembling a team that could translate her vision into reality.

Let’s Sum It Up:

A home’s story begins long before the first finish is selected. The right team brings clarity, wisdom, and calm to a complex process. Great design blends beauty, function, and the memories you want to make for generations.

Until next time -- keep cultivating creativity.
