He is happiest, be he King or peasant,
who finds peace in his home.

    Shannon Polen started her design career working with a popular NW based interior
    designer.  She has a background in both color consulting, design services,  furniture
    design and marketing.  In 2003 after seeing a need in the ever-growing area of Real
    Estate home-staging, Shannon expanded her services into both residential and
    commercial staging.   She most enjoys working with Individual home owners to help
    them create their own perfect Spaces.  

    "Creating Avalon was born out of my love of home interiors, design, and above all
    helping others create the spaces they love to live in.   I try to "weed" through the
    millions of home products out there to simplify a process that many find
    overwhelming.  I believe I have the greatest job in the world and strive to make your
    homes a place you love and want to come home to.  Your home should tell your life
    story.  I am here to take what you have, add things here and there, and make a great
    story out of it!"

    Shannon and her husband, Joe, live in the Portland, Oregon area, where they are
    currently raising two sons.  She enjoys reading, shopping, running, and spending time
    with her friends and family.
