1. Guest Bed Makeover. This was the first project I tackled in our new home and my first foray in to painting. I love that I took a risk on the color and I think it turned out great! (Thanks again Amy for all your painting help!)
2. Stenciling my front porch. Getting rid of the AstroTurf was priority one when we moved in and I am happy to say we now live in an AstroTurf free home.
3. Making over the back yard. This was by far the most ambitious projects of the year. You know the kind. Where you go in thinking it will take a few days and three months later you are finally done. **sigh** but so worth it.
4. Putting in my gallery wall. I had a friend comment on the fact that I had absolutely no pictures of Daniel and myself up in the house and I knew I had to change this. The gallery wall has morphed in to a fun mix of family and travel and everything that represents us.
6. Getting a new addition to our Family. Miss Honey Bunch has certainly brought life and light to our every day. It has been so fun watching her grow and change (and watching Norman come to like her a bit more).
Here she is now after 3 months of having her.
7. Adding more art to the house. I hate bare walls but art is expensive. We've manged to gets some up in a few places though. The entry, the library, the dining room, the bathroom. My favorite though is our hallway art made using the stack of Realtor cards from when our house was on the market.
8. Celebrating Christmas in our new home
There you have it, some of my favorite projects and events of 2011. I'm actually surprised at how much we accomplished in the last seven months. You can check out my project page and see all of the other 33 big and little projects I completed this year.
Here is to next year and all the fun it will bring.
Cheers!
You guys have had an amazing year. I still cannot get over the transformation of your yard. It looks so great. Happy New Year!
