Remember this shelf of wonder, made from barn wood & a glass panel? It strikes again! After my dad designed the first one, I let him know that I sure would really love to have one in the Rardon house as well. Of course, he delivered…. The canvas: Painting by Rachel (me!). I knew I wanted to keep it simple, since I would layer accessories in front…
Introducing: a comfortable living room with coastal blue accents. A few of my favorite things: birds flying in the wall, a custom beach painting, and slender black candle holders. It’s about time I start sharing some of the projects I’ve been working on in the last year – hopefully this “taking time to upload photos” thing is something that I can continue to do! It was music to my ears to…
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…
Oh – how I have been coveting copper lately. Craving it, perhaps. [source] [source] [source] Isn’t it wonderful? I’m so glad copper has made it’s way to the spotlight in the decorating scene. I love it mixed with white, navy, or deep greens. Here are some ways to add copper to your home. A copper collection to crave… //
Do you ever come across something and think, “Wow, somebody I know so needs to own this!” This happens to me – All. The. Time. 1) Because I am constantly shopping for interior decor, 2) because, for some reason, our budget doesn’t allow me to buy everything that I fall head over heals for, and 3) because we don’t have a house the size of Texas to display everything I adore. Hence, I bring you…
Do you love shopping for home decor, but wander the aisles for an hour sending picture text messages to your friends – because you don’t know what the heck to buy? I mean – you know what you like, but how in the world is it all going to look together? Do you like decorating your home, but always struggle with those “finishing touches”?! I may have the solution just for you… an image -…
I promised more posts showing the details of my most recent “nook” design. We’re going to break it down, y’all! {envision me doing a little pretzel wave with my arms and shaking my knees back and forth – woo! breakin’ it down! alright!} Goodness, I love to dance. Anyway – I’m getting off track here. Warning: there are a LOT of pictures in this post. I present layering the nook… I started with columns of…
Nebraska Cornhuskers & Duke Blue Devils. Those are the two teams in our household. The term “man cave” has always made me a little queasy. Maybe because I think the home should celebrate the whole family. Maybe because despite everyone thinking that the home is the “women’s domain” ultimately, we just take charge of the home because it’s important to us & we want our entire families to enjoy the shelter we call home. Or…
Mood boards are a great way to be inspired and establish a direction for design. I often create mood boards for my clients to portray the direction I envision for a room. And perhaps more importantly, to ensure that my client loves the design direction for the room – before we start making big purchases. Here is a mood board I recently…
After my husband lovingly read my most recent blog post, he asked, “Part 1. How many parts are there?” After I got over the amazing fact that he had taken the time to read my ramblings [isn’t there something so purely wonderful about your main man taking a moment to love on your passions?], I replied, “Oh. 2. Only 2 parts.” So, first I must apologize to all of you who wondered – How many…
