Here is what I (and you, my readers) felt were the best projects of 2011!
I still LOVE my open cabinets and I've had them for almost a year now! (in case you're wondering). I just put dollar store plastic snowflakes in them for Christmas. The chalkboard paint was a fun addition.
I'm no carpenter, but this basic tutorial will give you a brief run down of just how simple the process really is. I'm pretty sure, whatever house I move to, I'll be making these again!
This is a wall-art sign I made for the Room Re-do for under $50! I will be revealing it in Jan so stay tuned!
I'm still loving my nursery. It's made me want to paint every room gray!
Check out the kitchen reno. This took forever, but was well worth it!
Check out the stairway makeover to see how to do paper lettering....It's more work, but hey, it's free!
This is part of the office make-over that will be revealed in the next month or two.
This was a reader fave, as well as the other links below.
Most of these were finished before I decided to try blogging professionally, so basically no spell check, no photoshop ect... Hope you enjoy! As I posted these, I realized 2011 was actually a really productive year!
