Macrame. String art. Woven tapestries. They’re back! I know these words may bring back haunting memories from days ago. But stay with me – shake off the images of dusty, bulky rope; and embrace the new face of colorful, fun, quirky woven tapestries. [source] I have yet to use the woven wall hanging trend in the Rardon house, but I am so intrigued by this soft artwork. Read more »
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…
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! It was a long weekend of celebrations for the Rardon family! We had an all-American grill out followed by fireworks on the 4th. We celebrated Phil’s birthday on Saturday with yet another grill out and fireworks! We ended the weekend on Sunday with a day of naps and movies (much needed R&R). And last night we celebrated our 2nd anniversary with Runza and a rented movie. Classy – I…
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…
When I started brainstorming ideas for my most recent nook design – I knew I wanted to use a large, framed art piece. In two of the previous designs, I had used a vertical canvas, which is why I wanted to switch things up with a frame this time around. Here came my first challenge: this beaut is big – approx. 30″ x 36″, and large frames are expensive. Don’t get me…
“I have seen shades of green and yellow. I wear canvases, paper, mirrors, a door. I can hold a pumpkin collection. The color of my wall skin has remained, but my styling changes with the seasons. What she will do to me next – no one can tell.” -The Nook Complete creative freedom… Mua-a-a-a {that was my best shot at an evil/creative laugh}. I have had the joy of decorating this wonderful nook for…
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…
When decorating, a focal point is always an important aspect to keep in mind! It might sound strange – but tell people where to look. Transitional Living Room by San Francisco Interior Designers & Decorators Leverone Design, Inc. Create your focal point on a main wall in the space [if possible, the largest wall with the least…
Dear Washi Tape, I love you. Sincerely, Rachel Rardon Many of you have probably seen my “Roses are Pink” guest bedroom – if not, you can see all the pictures here. The washi tape cross-stitch rose is my favorite DIY project in the room – so I wanted to take a moment to chat about it. First of all, I can’t take all of the credit. I initially got the idea…
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen my recent display – complete with lots of pumpkins, and a gorgeous birch painting. If not, Like Rardon Design on FB here. Today I thought it would be fun to give you a little behind the scenes of my painting process. I’m not a very “technical” artist… I kind of just put paint on the canvas until I love it. 
But here’s…
