ABANNETTE BODNAR
HELLO I'mAnnette
I am currently a design assistant at Shelter + Sanctuary design studio My passion for interior design began in childhood, I would rearrange my room countless times and created an entire doll house that was inspired by house design magazines After being a stay-at-home mom for 20 years my interest in interior design led me back to the classroom for a degree in Interior Design I am also a certified yoga instructor; I teach at a local studio and have spent time teaching yoga to women in recovery. My positive approach to life and work is centered on people and creating spaces that are functional, comfortable, and enjoyable. Outside of design I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy spending time with my family and dogs. We can usually be found hiking, kayaking or boating on our local rivers
