A Year in Review

It's been a year (well yesterday it was) since I started this blog. I have learned so much about my style and have learned how to do so many things that I would have never thought to do myself. Lets take a look at some of my favorites, shall we?

Room redos:

I redid my daughter's room. This was actually my very first post!


We (and when I say we, I mean my husband) added board and batten to our study.


I totally redecorated my kitchen

We put up beadboard and totally redecorated our guest bathroom

I did a TON of prejects in my living room. They are listed all HERE

I also learned A LOT about furniture painting and refurbishing

I reupholstered my first chair

I completely re-did this table and even added shelving

I refinished and painted this old washstand



I re-did this table and started selling my furniture on craigslist


I Learned to sew like a pro (well I'm getting there)

I made my first diaper bag without a pattern

I made my first Anthro knock off purse

I made another diaper bag for a baby shower gift

I made several of these dresses as gifts


I made a few knock offs

My Anthro inspired ruffle curtain

Pottery Barn's rustic clock

Pottery Barn burlap matted frame and oversized hangers



Ballard's inspired me to paint

I used wood in my decorating


I used scrap wood to make a cool sign for my kitchen

EAT sign for my kitchen

I made a wood sign for my master bedroom

I also baked quite a bit


These caramel toffee cupcakes were to die for

I made the best brownies know to man with a made up recipe


There was quite a lot more going around here on this blog the past year, but it would take another year to show you it all :)

So take a look around if you are new around these parts and maybe you will find a project to be inspired by. I know I have been inspired over and over again in blog land. It seriously has been an awesome year. Thanks all for reading along!

Quite the year! You did some amazing (very time consuming!) projects! Nice work! I'm anxious to see what this year has in store for you.

Wow! You should be so very proud. I have read some of these but missed the first half of last year..you have accomplished a lot. I love the washstand and that master bedroom artwork is very special. I am inspired! Congratulations on a great first year.

It was fun to see a recap of most of your projects! It's crazy how fast the year goes and how often we feel (or I feel) like I get nothing done, but then you look back and are totally blown away by how much actually got accomplished. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store. Especially for that little baby!
