Check out these cool examples. [source] [source] [source] Or consider using a daybed as a divider between two areas. It offers seating in either direction, and maintains a low profile to…
Christmas fever has hit. I’m officially loving everything with extra glitter and sparkle lights. There is something so magical about Christmas. Last night my husband and I went to small group – this awesome thing in our lives where we get to meet with other young couples every other week and eat good food, chat about life, pray, and learn about Jesus. We take turns hosting and as I was walking into our friends’ home,…

Being excited about the potential of your…
Want a unique way to put a smile on someone’s face this fall? Show up at their house with a box full of home grown gourds! Seriously. It worked for me. Last Saturday my aunt and uncle stopped by our house. My uncle has become my go-to carpenter, if you will. Really, he’s a farmer – but he’s super handy, and seems to take all of my crazy requests and create something better than I…
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…

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…
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,…
