My friends… In a world full of temptation, guarding the heart has never been more important.

That’s why I want to personally invite you to the launch of a powerful new discipleship resource:
The Watchman’s Eyes — How to Guard Your Gates in a World Full of Temptations.

This is a fresh and timely resource designed to guide people step by step into deeper discipleship, rooted in the Word of God and focused on biblical integrity — especially in the area of sexual purity.

The book was originally written for men, but the call has expanded to women and young people as well. It’s a tool you can use personally, in small groups, discipleship settings, or church ministries. The hard work has already been done for you.

Join us on April 2nd at 6:00 PM at 600 Rinehart Road in Lake Mary.

Come celebrate the launch, learn how to use this resource, and discover how it can strengthen the people you lead and serve.

Here's a link for a free registration that can help us to know how many chairs we will set up: https://forms.gle/5T8XEVjqfP5sTHuA8

I would love to see you there.

Stephen

I want to share some big news with you my friends, clients and family…

Because those who know me, know this about me: even while I’m painting a house, I can’t stop talking about what God has done in my life. I carry His work in me everywhere I go.

So for the past three years, I’ve been working silently. Writing, praying, refining, wrestling, meditating. All with one purpose: to finally present in 2026 the book that captures the living letter God burned into my heart.

The Watchman’s Eyes
Becoming the Guardian of Your Gates in a World Full of Temptations
How to Get Free — and Stay Free

Im sure that if you love God you want to walk in purity. Yet the same battles keep pulling you back, leaving you exhausted.

This book is not here to shame or condemn anybody. It’s here to wake you up, equip you, and teach you how to stand guard and walk in freedom.

Why This Book Is Different From Anything else?

This is not self-help — it’s spirit-help.
A battle plan. A manual for watchmen.
Written by someone who’s been in the trenches — and made it out.

✔ Deeply biblical, yet shockingly practical
✔ Full of revelation and action steps
✔ Focused on building inner purity, not just outward behavior

The watchmen are rising.

Hello friends!
For many years you’ve known me for my work as a professional painter—over 30 years in the trade. But today I want to share this special video with you.

In it, my wife and I share a testimony of victory. I speak in English and she translates into Spanish, so whether you understand Spanish or not, you’ll be able to follow the message completely.

I hope it blesses you!

Este capítulo no solo te sacará una sonrisa, sino que también te mostrará cómo el amor puede romper las barreras del idioma y del dolor.Hoy en Cuenta tu Hist...

I left justified the bed this morning. Men try it and see what happens when wifee sees it. Let me know.

Today I would like to share with you a project I completed in my own home, but one that I can also create for any of my clients. Many times we have a fireplace in its original state, and I wanted to give it a touch of the Fixer Upper style, just as my wife suggested. She imagined it in white, but not completely white—rather with some vintage details that would bring character while adding a neutral color palette, the kind that is so popular now and gives the home that special look and feel similar to what Chip and Joanna create. In this video, I share the entire process with you.

Need to separate spaces in your home or office without losing natural light?

We built this pallet wall for a very special client—my wife! 💁‍♀️
She wanted to create a cozy breakfast nook while hiding her pantry behind it. No doors, no drywall… just clever design that lets the light shine through from the French doors that lead to the backyard.

🌿 The wall doesn’t reach the ceiling, so sunlight still flows in, and there’s a hidden path that takes you to her secret pantry.

At Ilardo Design, we turn your ideas into real, beautiful spaces—just like this one. Ready to build yours before the year ends?

📩 Let’s talk and make it happen!

Before & After – Wednesday
Nursery Makeover! ✨

This room started off super plain — just beige walls, carpet, and nothing special. But now… it’s a beautiful, warm, and cozy nursery for a precious baby girl! 👶💕

✅ Board and batten on the lower half of the wall for texture and charm
✅ A soft blush tone on the upper wall for a sweet, welcoming vibe
✅ New dark wood flooring

Honestly, I loved how this transformation turned out. From a basic space to a room full of character, purpose, and love — now this baby girl has a place that’s just as special as she is. 🩷

If you’re dreaming about transforming a room in your home, whether it’s for a baby, an office, or a full renovation — let’s talk. I’d love to help you bring it to life!

ANOTHER BEFORE AND AFTER:
You wouldn’t believe this is the same room — but I promise it is. This space was completely devastated by Hurricane Ian. We had to remove all the damaged sheetrock, seal the walls, install new flooring, and add ceiling panels to bring beauty and character back into the room. After a fresh coat of paint and some thoughtful touches, the transformation is truly remarkable. It’s now a completely renewed and inviting space.
