As we start a new year, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of the Randi Garrett Design family! I love getting to share tips to help live your life in style! Without you, there would be no Randi Garrett Design. Thank you for all of your comments, emails and time spent interacting on my site and social media platforms.

So, this is one of my favorite posts the year to write! I love looking back and recapping the year, seeing what you guys loved and reflecting on all the fun we’ve had. Today, we are taking a look back at the makeovers we’ve done on RGD and your favorite blog posts of 2018!
The makeovers are my absolute favorite, and from the looks of my analytics – yours too!!! Last year I helped my best friend makeover her master bedroom (see the transformation here). This was such a fun, special project! In our own home, we gave our dining room a glam makeover, finally transformed our upstairs family room into a cool place for the whole family to hang out and redesigned our guest bedroom into a beautiful guest retreat!

What a fun recap of 2018, and thank you for inviting us all into your home thru the year. It is absolutely stunning! I especially enjoyed the makeovers and, of course, was ALWAYS thrilled to see your many combinations of blush and gold, my favorite colors hands down. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I CANNOT wait to see what you bring us for 2019. I am sure it is going to be amazing! And while we have never met in person, it has been fun posting messages and exchanging smiles across the miles.
((Hugs)) for a wonderful and blessed 2019.

Hi Deb! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! It was a fun year! Big plans coming for 2019! I hope you stick around! Thank you for your friendship! xo
Randi, I love your blog along with the glitz and glamour. The tribute to your mother was so like my own mother. We lived in the east too.
I love ginger jars and collect a lot of blue and white china and glassware. Anyone who knows me knows I do not like finger foods and use linen napkins.
Why not use the best and enjoy it instead of dusting it ?
Myrna, I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for your sweet comment! Happy New Year! xo
