Hi Rhoda, I have read your blog for a long time but I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for your great tutorials. They are so detailed and REAL and I appreciate that you have done these projects yourself and just reading about them is so empowering. I have been tackling my whole house, most recently my stairs, and I recalled your beautiful stairs redo. I can’t wait to finish mine up after seeing yours. You are so right about how caulk and paint hide all sorts of flaws! After reading through your projects I think I’ll try the picture frame molding next – thanks so much. -Lisa
Hi Rhonda, your blog is awesome! Sorry, to hear the trials that brought you here; but, you are stronger as a person (from what I read here). I am slowly (key word: slowly) trying to put together a blog on yard sale finds, thrift finds. My question, is how do you know what to charge for merchant advertising?
Thank you so much, Make it an awesome day, Sandy M.
Hi, Sandy, I’ve written a few posts about advertising and here’s the one with the most info. See if this helps. This was written in 2010, but I’m in the process of sharing my blog story & will do an updated post on advertising soon too. The main thing to keep in mind is how much traffic you have. I didn’t even start advertising until I had about 25,000 hits a month. http://southernhospitalityblog.com/the-business-of-blogging/
This is simply wonderful. To have Lynette at hand! I do miss seeing her perform magic. I watched her faithfully until I could no longer FIND her! I moved and so did she! She rocked my world and made a semi-decorator out of me! I have some wonderful ideas for her and super challenges… ie; tri-level home with basement. How do you redecorate that monstrosity? Thank her for all her help through the years, Please!
I only found this blog thru Pinterest because your name is Rhoda. Reading through the comments made me giggle as I see you get called Rhonda on occasion as well. On that note, I have also found two projects I plan to do for my home: the mirror framing and the bookcase.
Greetings, Rhoda!, I thought it might be nice to start following a couple more of the Haven “gang” before the conference in June! I’ve read your “story” and am a believer that everything happens for a reason. Hard to believe at the time! When my mom died 9 years ago, I wondered how my dad was going to get by, or how I was going to get by with just dad. Mom had always been the organizer/communicator in the family. But the gift God gave me was to have almost 9 years to get to know and adore my dear dad, who passed away in August. I’ve been through the divorce thing, being broke, all that. Life is a journey and seeing your blog and how you tell a story, I know you’ll continue to thrive. Bless you and see you at Haven! Barbara

I would love to know more about that light that you got from Rusticks. It is the hanging round rust colored light.
