> Stephanie Rickenbaker’s Mammoth Oaks home was built with love from the start.

🔨When the framing went up, Stephanie wrote Bible verses and lyrics from the family’s favorite hymn on the wooden beams and buried crystals underneath. This was her way of recognizing that the home would be more than just a structural foundation for their family.

“Our faith is important to us, and that hymn has been sung at all of our family baptisms and weddings,” explains Stephanie. “And I have always been fascinated by crystals. Some believe that certain crystals have powers to help you relax or bring you luck. I don’t take that super seriously, but I have always been drawn to their natural beauty.”

🏡 As the Rickenbakers settled in, Stephanie delighted in arranging her beloved collections of furniture, ceramics, trinkets and paintings throughout.

Each room has a special piece that tells part of their family story.

What’s something special that you’ve kept and made a part of your home? Share in the comments. We’d love to hear! 💕
