 The inside of your home is a controlled environment. Are you in control?
Since the industrial revolution, chemical compounds have become pervasive in the home building industry, used in everything from foam insulation, to flooring, to cabinets, and carpeting. Homeowners have had very little choice of the materials being used to build their homes and so have unwittingly agreed to the use of dangerous toxins in their indoor environment.

 Yes, it’s possible that that persistent sinus issue, cough, fatigue, or depression you’re experiencing is actually being caused by the house you live in!
At Pippin Home Designs, we help to educate and inspire our clients towards better product selection and building practices. The lack of awareness around these topics can ultimately lead to building related health issues, which for some people can manifest as acute, chronic, or even life-threatening illnesses.  Home truly is where the heart is…free to be expressed, safe to be seen, and authentically acknowledged.
In the final post of Pippin’s Inspired Life series, I share with you my heart. I introduce you to my true love and forever partner in life and in business, Wes Stearns. Together we designed an industry hallmark home (Healthy Haven) and grew Pippin Home Designs into a firm rooted in health, wellness, love, and inspiration.  Any new venture, be it starting a business, starting a family, building a new home, or building a new life, always requires a support system.
The human life is designed for many things. Isolation is not one of them. Together we grow stronger, live more deeply, love more wholly, and expand into possibilities nonexistent in solitude.  Starting your own business is akin to parenthood. It entails lots of work and persistence. Development takes time and repetition. Patience is required. You often experience growing pains and you’re always just doing the best you can.
In the third post of Pippin’s Inspired Life series, I share my growth from designing spec homes to spectacular custom designs and eventually birthing into the world a business predicated on passion and inspiration.  Have you ever noticed how life takes you on a wild ride even when you’re certain you’re on the right path? It can almost feel like being tested to see if you’re really serious. And even though there are challenges along the way, there are also moments of pure elation and a depth of inspiration that floods your entire being, reinforcing the notion that you are, in fact, exactly where you’re meant to be.
 Who is this woman that will be alchemizing your hard-earned money into the home of your dreams?
Does she listen to your wants, needs, and desires? How can you trust that she’s the right person for the job? These are questions all my clients are asking themselves. And rightly so! I encourage everyone to do their research and get to know the person who will be so involved with the transformation of their lives and their home. 
Let’s be honest, there are likely aspects of your home that literally make your life harder.
You may love your home, yet the obstacles it presents need to change if you plan to live there for many more years. Or perhaps you’ve grown so accustomed to these challenges that you don’t even realize the impact it’s having on your life. 
So, your homelife is changing. The kids have left the nest and now the nest feels overwhelmingly large. Or perhaps you’re needing to welcome an aging parent into your home to provide in-home caregiving. Whether you celebrate this transition in life or not, changes this big often feel uncomfortable or overwhelming.
Finding inspiration for the way you want to live your life can help you embrace uncomfortable shifts with grace.  Let’s be honest. Life changes as you grow and often that means outgrowing your home. In order for your home to continue supporting you and inspiring the life you intend to live; some changes need to be made.
Yet sometimes it’s hard to envision how the home you’ve been living in could EVER meet your current or future needs and desires. When the only thing your home is inspiring you to do is get a bulldozer and level it, we’re here with fresh eyes to help create more options for you. |

It didn’t take me long to realize I had greater gifts and so I chose to step into my power and create my own path in life, inspired by my heart’s true passion. (More on my personal story HERE!)
