2010 Projects Recap

I can hardly believe that the year is ending. Not one too keen on beginning of the year resolutions, I do really enjoy end of year reflections. I love looking at progress and change. Sometimes I have to remind myself that when it feels like I am standing still, I really am moving forward, making progress toward a goal and that things are indeed different than they were. Now that our house is done-ish, we’ve simply been enjoying, breathing in the new spaces, and settling. It feels really nice, especially when I think back to how things were. It will be fun to see how much things change over the coming year or if our remodeling ends up being more about life and less about the house. Only time will tell. For now, here is a recap of the projects that got completed this year around this little casa.

I was feeling a lot like a moose with a muffin or a cat with a cupcake or a mouse with a cookie when I got new cabinet knobs.

Twelve hours before hosting my son’s 3rd birthday party, I painted and rearranged furniture in the living room.

I handed my kids paint brushes and let them paint their Ikea step stools.

I learned how to make an ottoman slipcover. I also learned that white and my kids don’t get along and it didn’t last. But it was indeed nice while it lasted.

I painted a yard sale chair green and have used it every day since. I am sitting on it right this instant, in fact.

I gave my daughter’s dresser a makeover.

We finally converted what was once a garage into our master bedroom.

and last but not least

finished the master bathroom.

I am adding this post to Rhoda’s Top Projects of 2010 Party.
