3 Ways to Add High Impact to Your Home for Less

August 26, 2014 /
Design Tips / Inspiration / Upcycled

Adding impact to your home for less… isn’t that always the struggle? We want our home to look like a million bucks, but we sure don’t have a million bucks in our budget to spend on it! I get it – I totally do, and as weird as it probably is coming from an interior designer: I completely respect your desire to make big changes as reasonable as possible. The world of Pinterest and DIY…

Random Rambling Friday

August 22, 2014 /
Thoughts

Happy Friday! Do you all love Fridays as much as I do? I’m going to guess yes. This Friday has been so lovely, and it has only just begun: I am currently enjoying a “hat day”, complete with writing this post from my fav Downtown Coffee Company. Woot! However, I am having complete “blog post topic” block. So, instead of focusing on one topic, I’m just going to share with you random thoughts on what…

Fresh Flowers

August 19, 2014 /
DIY / Fab Find / Inspiration

Can we all agree… fresh flowers are the best! They bring so much life to any vignette or room. You know, I love silk flowers too. Adding greenery and color to a space is so important, and it’s hard to pass up a beautiful flower that never dies. Perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to appreciate the beauty of fresh flowers. I don’t get them all the time, and their beauty is fleeting. My favorite…

The Day I Saved a Green Box…

August 12, 2014 /
Before & After / DIY / Fab Find

    I have “deal-itis”.  Also known as CPUC – “Can’t Pass Up Clearance” [not to be confused with the California Public Utilities Commission – haha, yes, I looked it up]. This is a serious condition. It leads to purchasing things that I absolutely do. not. need. Can anyone relate? Thankfully my husband is a patient man. I think it helps that my shopping sprees are usually $15 shopping sprees, rather than $150 shopping sprees…

A Rardon Bathroom

August 08, 2014 /
Behind The Scenes / Inspiration / Sneak Peek

    Some things are in the mix at the Rardon home! …all because of a little hole in a frozen pipe. Ugh. One evening (while at a dance recital with a friend) I got a text from Phil, “Just so you’re not surprised when you get home, we have a little water in the basement”. Oh boy. It ended up being a little more than a little. You could splash in our carpet. Yep,…

Box Pleat Valance

August 05, 2014 /
Design Tips

These box cornices have been a great solution for many of my clients. Which is awesome, because I enjoy making them – and there are so many different ways that you can cover and customize them! They are the perfect mix of soft and simple. They add a soft element to the room with the fabric, but the upholstered cornice keeps the look clean. It says, “Hey, I’m just enough, without being too…

Custom Pillow for a Fabulous Friend

August 01, 2014 /
DIY

My friends are amazing at giving gifts. Really. It’s like they understand me to the core -blessing me with things that I absolutely love, or something that I have been considering buying already. Seriously – I have one friend, in particular, who gets me gifts that make me think, “Holy popcorn, we are the same freakin’ person!” Well, this gorgeous lady came to visit me a little while ago, so I knew I wanted to…
