2011 wrap up – most popular posts

December 31, 2011 7 Comments

I’m loving all these year-end wrap ups I’m seeing so I decided to join in on the fun. Yes, I am following a trend but it is a fun trend! Granted, my stats are nothing crazy but it is still nice to see which posts were the most commented on or viewed. It has been an amazing first year of blogging. This is just a hobby for me and I went into it just to keep my close friends and family up to speed on our renovation. It is nice to share the ideas and inspiration with others who enjoy it and don’t have a personal connection with me. I never thought this would go beyond my direct circle of friends and that makes me smile. 

So without further delay, these were my most popular posts from 2011 in no particular order. 
Start Being Awesome – Stencil Painting
Ribbon Organization
Monogram Washer Art – Version 1 and  Version 2
Backyard Progress
Chalkboard tables – IKEA hack
Succulent garden 

And last but certainly not least…my craft room reveal. 

Anyone have any fun plans for New Year’s Eve tonight? We are keeping it low key with some close friends at home. Plenty of wine, homemade pizza while sitting in the yard with the mutts. There will be no fuss, most will spend the night or walk home. We will all probably be asleep by 12:15. Best kind of celebration for us! 😉


Happy New Year! Thanks for sticking around for 2011. I appreciate every one of you and that is the truth. I can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring!

    We are having a very similar night! Only add Manhattans and Mad Men to the mix. Can’t wait to see what the new year brings for you! That subway sign always makes me smile.

    Love the yard too! Did you paint the tables with chalkboard paint or did they come that way? We have IKEA tables in our livingroom, a group of 4 to make one big coffee table. Kinda getting sick of them, and would love to repurpose them into something cute like that!
