Hi! I'm Meredith.My husband Stephen and I moved from Arkansas to Denver, CO in 2014, and we are loving life in our new state with our two little girls. I always have a project up my sleeves and love sharing renovation tips and tricks on my way to Before & Afters. I love inspiring others to tackle DIY projects because being proud of where you live starts with saying "I did that myself!"
Welcome to Heardmont - I'm so happy you're here!

$7 Desk Makeover
Since our house is pretty much a construction zone these days, we’ve been making due with the bare minimum in terms of furniture. The floors are almost fully installed, but the installers are coming back to clean off the excess … Continue reading

The Domino Effect in Our Entryway
