Out With The Old
2008 was a year of many projects here in our home. In addition to my Greatest Hits of 2008 post that includes the articles from last year that received the most traffic and a list of my five favorite articles, I thought it would be fun to post a recap of a year of projects here.
My absolute favorite project for the year is our new patio, painted patio set and the pergola is finished!
We also did a little makeover in our daughter’s room, including a cute little lamp makeover and some wall art for her room.
We completely remodeled our son’s room.
We painted the house and front door, which actually got finished in record time, unlike I thought it would.
We started a vegetable garden and it is continuing to thrive, we are so excited about that!
Our kitchen now has a DIY Chalkboard on the wall. I also mistreated my kitchen windows.
It was a fun year of making our home a haven for us. We have more projects on the horizon and I can’t wait to how things are looking around here next year! Thanks so much for being part of my journey here.
Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting a Top 10 Before and After projects. Check it out!

What great projects you did last year! I’m having a little Best Projects of 2008 party next Wed. & would love for you to link up to it. Should be fun & inspirational to see what everyone accomplished last year. We all love before & afters!

Y’all have done so much! We can’t even seem to get a wall painted – I’m so inspired. I need to figure out a way for my husband to “accidentally” see this post.
