About Karen
Redoux interiors started out of necessity. PRE – Internet, can you believe there was such a time?
As a young mom, we had very little “extra” income to create a beautiful home. I began scouring books about painting furniture, creating the “European look” of aged, old layered paint and started experimenting not only on my furniture but my friends who were willing to take a risk along with me.
Follow Me
Check out my YouTube Channel! Over 40 How To Videos with complete tutorials and creative fun. New videos every other week.
Catch on Redoux on Facebook and watch me live every week for furniture and junk makeovers. Hang out, get to know other creatives, laugh with me and be the first to see what I am working on.

I am a firm believer in this: if you put your desire out there, it will make its way to you....

I wanted to find all mismatched chairs for my soon to open workshop space. Guess what I found for free by just driving down the road? Guess what has been in my inbox? People offering me free chairs!

Which one is your fave?

Happy Sunday friends, who among us has not had some hard trials to contend with? I have found that the best practice when in the midst of the hard stuff is a gratitude practice.
.
For me, I anchor myself in the knowledge of the love my Savior Jesus Christ has for me and for mankind. If I am struggling to feel grateful, I know that His Love fills me and will help me to see all the things I have been blessed with.
.
What are you grateful for today? I would love hear about it.

Happy Sunday friends! Yesterday my husband and I, along with many, many volunteers from my church had the opportunity to shop for, plan for, prep cook, serve and clean up lunch at Stand Down on the Delta, 2023 event for Veterans in need.
.
There were volunteers there for every kind of service a Veteran in difficult times could need. Judges, dentists, mental help, housing, medical help, massage therapy, chaplains, and so much more.
.
Online, I see too much discord, too much complaining and too
much reposting of negativity, what`s wrong with society, what`s wrong with our politicians, maligning one minority group or another.
.
Incessant complaining never solves societies ills. What does? Service, love, community, listening and coming together for a greater good.
.
Do my feet hurt today? You bet, so does my back. But my heart is full, my gratitude for how good my life, deeper, and my desire to lean in to serve more rather than complain increased.
.
If you are unhappy with the state of your life, your surroundings, your country, I urge you to go out and serve. It heals your heart, increases compassion and deepens your understanding of others who look, feel, believe and behave differently from you. Your capacity to love your fellow being increases.
.
Much love to all of you, -Karen

Welcome to The House of Bergs. Otherwise known as Redoux. Most things in this house once lived a life as something else and were repurposed, upcycled, made over or reimagined using my favorite @diypaintbydebisdesigndiary and @ironorchid_design products.
.
What can I help you makeover, create, repurpose, give new life to or make beautiful?
.
There has never been a better time to explore your creativity and step into the joy of making something with your hands.

Locally at @theranchocoop and online and a blog!

Charity never faileth. Never.
.
When in doubt, be kind. When angry, show restraint. When you are feeling anxious, lonely, forgotten, unloved, find someone to love. Do a kindness for someone else.
.
A charitable heart will never fail to help you feel you feel better.
.
Maybe instead of posting about what is wrong in your world, post about what is good, praiseworthy, a kindness someone showed you. It`s contagious. We all have the gift of charity within us.
.
This week we are studying some of Paul`s letters to the Corinthians, pondering on spiritual gifts. Charity is always at the top of those gifts, and we can all claim it at anytime.
