Meet the Heards
Meredith and Stephen. Most days we can be found at our 1980s rancher in Fayetteville, Arkansas - painting, building, and decorating inside or throwing a tennis ball for our dog Molly outside. We always have a project up our sleeves, and we love sharing renovation tips and tricks on our way to big Before & Afters. We're all about inspiring others to tackle DIY projects because being proud of where you live starts with saying "I did that myself!"
Welcome to Heardmont - we're so happy you're here!
