Back in time with The Spirit Factory

Photos by Donna Frasca

I met with Rhonda Ferguson Jones today from The Spirit Factory and felt like I stepped back in time … literally about 50 ago which is when her house was built. As I drove to her home where she sells her custom jewelry, I was in awe with just the front porch alone. Now keep in mind it takes a lot to thrill me when it comes to homes but Rhonda had me charged with just her front doors. Hmm, I forgot to ask her what was the name of that gorgeous red she has on the doors. I'll have to find out.


Look at these warm colors! I would have to say 'Butternut' and 'Carnelian' from the Eddie Bauer Home Collection by Valspar.

Rhonda graciously gave me a grand tour of her home even though I was just there to pick up a necklace. I right away got the feeling of days gone by that is why I have the photos tinted with sepia, so you'd get the same feeling I did.
From the beautiful wood work (they don't make homes like this anymore) to the bubble lights on the garland, this house made me feel like I should grab some warm fuzzy slippers and sit by the fire - it was very cozy and inviting. Rhonda did an amazing job decorating her home.

If you would like to order some custom jewelry from The Spirit Factory, and here's a picture of the necklace I bought, you can contact Rhonda or go to her website to design your own. They make great gifts!


If you like the look of this home and want to have similar colors for that warm, cozy feeling, contact me to schedule a color consultation.

  3. Thank you so much ladies! The house had a very strong presence. After all, it's been around for 50 years I just happen to be there to capture it.

    Hey Rhonda, if you're reading this blog, let me know if you ever sell your home :-)
