Here’s a little peek inside my office. And when I say little peek, I mean this very honestly may be the most of my office you will ever see. Why? Well, because it is a “creative space”. A place where I work, make things, be creative, make messes – and rarely have everything picked up. This serene little spot is right above the table where I work on my computer and all of my…
Yuletide Market preparation has been the name of the game for Rardon Design this week! You can expect to see one-of-a-kind pillows, prints, and floral arrangements at the Rardon Design booth this weekend.

Oh my! I must say: sorry for the silence! I had a “No – it can’t be!” moment when I looked at my post list – reading that my last post was on October 7. And somehow, October 7 was over 2 weeks ago?! Ah! And now, the pressure’s on – I mean, if you haven’t posted anything for 2 weeks – you should probably have something epic to write about, right?! Well, here’s what I got……
Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Did you have extra time to relax and have fun? I did a lot of online shopping this weekend. I have several rooms to shop for, and I usually peruse the inter-web & local stores before making a list of items yet to find at shops in “the big cities”. World Market is a traditional stop when I’m hoping to find home decor with a…
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,…
Hello friends! Oh. My. Goodness. Did you think I fell off the face of the Earth? I kinda fell off the face of the world wide web, that’s for sure! I have to admit – I’m sorry, but I’m kind of not sorry. I’m sorry – because I really love you guys following along on my blog. I love blog world, and I don’t want to disappoint you guys by not being present. But there’s…
On Tuesday, we talked about using variety when choosing artwork. The type of art one chooses is important. Does the space call for a framed piece, a canvas painting, a mirror for reflection, a metal or sculptural piece for texture, etc? Scale (or size) is equally important. Can the piece be a smaller scale, because it is not the primary focus? Does the piece need to be larger so it’s not overwhelmed by…
What a week! I probably shouldn’t call myself out, but did anyone notice I missed my Friday post yesterday? Eek – so sorry! This week I celebrated my birth [thanks mom and dad!], decorated for a wedding [first time ever as Rardon Design, and not just a friend-helping-out-a-friend], and made some progress on the Rardon home! Since it wasn’t a normal week, it calls for a not-so-normal blog post! Today I’m going to share a…
Anyone have a bathroom update going on? We definitely do at the Rardon household. [And it may have gotten a little bit more serious due to water damage we recently had from a pipe break in our basement. Ugh. Don’t want to get too far ahead of myself on that one though – it will probably be a substantial amount of time until I have an update on that remodel.] I have some client bathroom…
The finale to the nook design: painted, school chairs! Perhaps one of my fav DIY projects to date. I found these gorgeous, curvalicious wood school chairs at Borgman’s here in Norfolk. They were a basement bargain… literally: In the musty basement. And totally a bargain = $5 a piece! Even better: I already had some black paint to paint the pattern. Score! I knew I…
