TOP 12 PROJECTS OF 2012


How on earth  can 2012 be nearing an end?  This year has truly flown by.  Looking back, I wanted to share my favorite projects from this year with you.

Stump Side Tables- easy, rustic, full of texture, super handy, and practically free!


Painted Built-Ins-painting over the stained wood was one of the best decisions we've made to update the living room.


Laser Level to Cut Straight Fabric-a great tip if you work with wide fabric often.



Botanical Gallery Wall -still love it!




Houndstooth Drapes-the first piece completed for my new dining room plan


The Office-which really includes two other favorite projects too: DIY Drum Shade & Hand Painted Lattice Wall


Colorful Chair-Reupholstered with a Hot Glue Gun!-a chair that I've had forever that I upgraded for my daughter's room


Log Filled Fireplace-this was probably my all time favorite project but alas, was short lived (let's just say the wood brought in too many unwanted guests.  Boo!).  But, I have a plan to make another go of it after this fire season is over!
 

Black Interior Doors-haven't been sorry for a minute that I did this one!


DIY Dining Room Host Chairs-my first real re-upholstery project

Oversized Silhouettes-my first time to participate in a Pinterest Challenge, can't wait for the next one!


Kitchen Chalkboard Wall-the first time I've ever used chalkboard paint...I'm hooked!


I guess it's been a pretty productive year!  I've got plans for many more projects in 2013, hope you'll hang around to check them out!

Linking up with Tatertots & Jello

    1. Hi there! I bought the peacock mirror about 2 years ago on clearance at Pier 1, so I don't think they carry it anymore. This one is very similar if not the same.
