Hi. We’re Meredith and Stephen Heard and this is our blog. We’re both twenty-somethings, and up until recently we were both engineers. Now I’m tackling a new career – real estate – and loving every minute of it! I’m a home decor, architecture, photography, and crafting nut and Stephen’s passions are playing his bass guitar, song writing, and riding bikes with his cycling team. We love this little house we’re making into a home and are having a blast renovating it as we go.
So what is “Heardmont” anyway? Long story short, Stephen’s great great great uncle (also named Stephen Heard) was the 8th governor of Georgia. He named his sprawling estate Heardmont after himself so everybody would remember him. Before we even bought our first place, we jokingly named it Heardmont because we thought the name was ironic for our little “estate.” Needless to say, the name stuck. So, without further ado, Welcome to Heardmont!
Nice blog and you have a beautiful place! I have a home reno blog too (and actually found yours by googling “home renovation blogs”). Then when I read you were in Fayetteville, I laughed, because I used to live in Fayetteville (although I’m now in No. California).
Your house looks great! Good luck with future projects!

Hey Meredith! I just found your blog today (I was looking for tutorials for painting a shower curtain) and I love it! Your house is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I just bought our first house (it’s an old farmhouse and we move in Oct 7!) and you have provided so much inspiration! Keep up the good work…I will definitely be checking in regularly to see your new posts.
How funny! I was looking at Pinterest for bed sheet curtains and found a pin of yours. After looking through a few more posts, I realize you are also from Northwest Arkansas! Small world.
I love what you’ve done with your house.
Hi Steve & Meredith! Nice to meet a distant relative, Gov. Stephen was a nephew of Thomas, my ggggg-grandfather, my wife and I live in a 100 yr old house, that we have to be continually be working on.
