This 30-something lifestyle blogger couple is based in Austin.
Like many young couples, they are navigating the exciting but tricky process of home buying.
The pair approached us here at Green Builder Media to get insights and pro advice on how to make the best home-buying decisions possible, and thus the ReVISION House Austin was born!
This, our 17th show home, offers an up-close look at how millennials view the home shopping, buying, and renovating processes. The couple is bringing their home search story to ardent Gen Z and millennial followers of their popular blog, Power Couple Life. This super-active couple regales their followers with glimpses of their lives as luxury travelers, gourmet foodies, and full-time adventurers.
Their readers eat it up, wanting specific ideas and information on everything from products to experiences to lifestyle choices.
When they decided they wanted a new home, Tiana and Shannon used their media savvy to get a little help from HGTV’s House Hunters, the unscripted TV series that follows people as they hunt for a new house. (The couple picked a brick single-story built in 2003 on an 2-acre lot.)
Now it’s time to RENOVATE!
Tiana and Shannon work in management, construction, and development for commercial real estate. Advocates for using effective and efficient systems in the commercial properties they manage, they promote LEED certification as well as other green building programs.
This so-so 17-year-old home is about to be transformed into a sustainable modern farmhouse!
Via videos, blog posts, and social media content, Tiana and Shannon will share the details and decisions that go into the remodel of their home to make it the perfect place to live Life With Purpose!
After attending college in Santa Barbara, Tiana was inspired by her father, who has been behind the lens for over 50 years, to start a photography blog documenting her life and travels. Travel, animal rescue, gardening, and horseback riding are a few passions of hers. An avid foodie and cook like her mother, a successful Italian restaurateur in Los Angeles, she loves trying cuisines from around the globe.
Shannon is originally from New Orleans, but moved to Las Vegas after Hurricane Katrina. After attending college in Las Vegas, Shannon met Tiana and moved to Los Angeles. In 2012 Shannon began working in commercial and residential property management. In his downtime, Shannon enjoys baking, video games, hiking with their 3 dogs, and brewing craft beer for his brewery, Urban Jungle Brewing.

CR Herro, Vice President of Innovation for Meritage Homes, will lead a video walkthrough of the couple’s new house to help them make the best performance and sustainability decisions possible. Herro will consult with Tiana and Shannon about what their goals and dreams are for the home, how they can make sustainable choices, and what can be done for energy efficiency, water conservation, enhanced health & wellness, and connected living to enhance comfort and cost effectiveness in a remodeling scenario.
Studio C² Architecture + Planning is slated to help the couple realize their lifestyle and design goals. The couple desires the popular modern farmhouse look with an emphasis on the outdoor living space, including a pool.
