Work With Us: Construction & Design by Home Chronicles
Welcome! We are Adele and Shane, the duo behind Home Chronicles. What started as a personal passion for turning houses into homes has grown into a full-service construction and design partnership.
We believe your home should be your favorite place on earth—a space that is not only beautiful but functional for the way your family actually lives.
Our Experience: From Our Home to Yours
Our expertise isn’t just theoretical; it was forged through years of hands-on renovation. We’ve spent over a decade navigating the “chronicles” of home ownership, including:
- Full-Scale House Flips: We have successfully flipped multiple properties, including a 1940s farmhouse and a standard builder-grade home, transforming them with character and purpose.
- The “Sweat Equity” Standard: We know the details because we’ve done the work ourselves—from hanging and sanding drywall to complex structural updates. Shane brings the technical construction oversight and “hardworking hubby” muscle to ensure every project is built to last.
- Functional Design: As the lead designer, Adele focuses on creating cozy, lived-in spaces that withstand the chaos of daily life.
Our Services
We offer a “Design-Build” approach, meaning we handle your project from the first sketch to the final coat of paint.
- Interior Design & Styling: Full-room reveals, furniture sourcing, and layout optimization to reflect your personality.
- Home Renovations: Specialized in reclaiming unused square footage—like turning an unused patio into a functional home office or flex zone.
- Project Management: We bridge the gap between “the vision” and “the build,” so nothing gets lost in translation between the designer and the contractor.

Design Your Story: Modern Heritage with
Adele &
Shane
Welcome to the home of Modern Heritage. On Home Chronicles, we don’t just talk about beautiful spaces—we create them. If you’ve spent years admiring the curated, soulful interiors we share and are finally ready to transform your own home, you’re in the right place.
The Visionary Behind the Style
Adele is recognized as a leading voice in the Modern Heritage movement. Her signature approach bridges the gap between the past and the present, blending timeless craftsmanship with the clean, effortless lines of contemporary living. Known for her ability to layer antique finds with modern silhouettes, Adele ensures every room feels familiar yet fresh, grounded yet elevated.
The Power of Two: Adele & Shane
When you hire us, you aren’t just getting a designer—you’re getting a partnership. While Adele leads the aesthetic direction, Shane brings the practical expertise and structural insight needed to turn a vision into a reality. Together, we offer a “design-led construction” experience that eliminates the chaos and ensures every detail—from the initial floor plan to the final vintage brass fixture—is intentional and cohesive.
Why Choose Modern Heritage?
- A “Collected, Not Decorated” Feel: We specialize in the 70/30 rule—pairing 70% primary elements with 30% soulful accents like family heirlooms or upcycled finds to create visual interest.
- High-Quality Materials: We prioritize longevity over fast trends, focusing on natural wood, stone, wool, and linen.
- Architectural Integrity: Whether you have a historic property or a new build, we highlight (or add!) classic details like crown molding and millwork without making the space feel like a museum.
- Bespoke & Personal: Your home should tell your story, not ours. We listen beyond the surface to create spaces that are artfully curated and deeply personal.
Our Services
We offer a range of ways to work with us, depending on your project’s needs:
- Full-Service Interior Design: Concept to completion, including project management and installation.
- Renovation & Design-Build: Structural remodeling led by a designer’s eye.
- Design Strategy Sessions: For those who need a master plan to execute themselves.
