Happy Holidays everyone!!
Hope everyone’s Christmas was wonderful and blessed~ and you enjoyed a beautiful day with your families!
We had a great time with family and friends and we are enjoying my sister Taylor visiting us for a few days now while getting ready for the New Year!
I can’t believe it is already going to be 2011 in just a few days!
I saw some blog parties going on out there that are all about sharing this years favorite projects and posts…
I just started my blog this year, but shared some projects from several years ago
as well as some that are recent.
I picked a couple of my favorites to highlight and share again.
Seaside Resort Inspired
This project was so much fun!
I found these old pieces of a piano and was inspired to create
some kind of a mantle piece with them- when I painted them gray and they came out blue-
they turned into a little seaside vignette.

VINTAGE BATHROOM REMODEL
The master bathroom remodel that I blogged about
is another favorite from this year.
It took some guts to show you the before…it was soo soo bad-
but the after came out as I envisioned it and I love this room.
If you missed it, you can read the original post
FRENCH FARMHOUSE TABLE
Another favorite this year is the farmhouse table that my sons and I re-did.
This started out as a crusty old table that was about 5 feet long and falling apart.
We decided to make it into an extra long farmhouse table for under the pergola
where we could gather a lot of friends and family around it.
If you want to know more about how the boys tackled it and we re-did it-
here it is:

Our guest cottage exterior before and after

FRENCH CHAIR
and my flea find Frenchy Chair redo.
Just a few favorites from this year-
Looking forward to catching up with everyone soon
and seeing all your recaps and what you have been up to.

Hope to see you there!
