Top projects of 2010
It’s been fun to look back on my first year of blogging and see all that my husband and I have accomplished this past year.
I don’t think we have completed a project that gave us more satisfaction then our Kitchen transformation. It is truly amazing what some paint and wood can do to any room!
You can read all about how we added height to our cabinets, reinvented our island and painted the cabinets here.
Before
In February I had a blast turning this fabulous antique desk into a beauty.
In March my husband and I had so much fun turning our guest room into a french escape. We had a lot of interest in how we installed the double stacked crown molding, you can watch the video here.
In April we transformed my closet into a little slice of heaven using a closet organizer we found off Craigslist.
For May I enjoyed turning our boys bathroom into a beachy oasis
In June the kitchen pantry was in need of some organization
In July, my grandmother had given us some furniture after the passing of my Grandfather. I enjoy having my Grandmothers chair that I repainted in our master bedroom.
I had never reupholstered anything, so In August I was thrilled that my bench turned out not perfect but good enough for me.
In September my only regret was that I didn’t paint my front door black sooner!
In October I loved adding a accent wall in our dinning room with a stencil!
November was the beginning of transforming our foyer, my favorite part was painting our table.
In December it was all about Christmas and I had a blast decorating this year!
Revisiting 2010 has me very excited to see what 2011 has in store! So many plans, so many projects and the best part, sharing them with you!
XOXO

Hi darling,
How are you?
Lovely pictures and can understand the sentimental value of your grandma's chair..so sweet.

What a year it was, thank you so much for sharing all your very well done projects you are an inspiration…I am headed to look for a stencil right now for a powder room..Thanks for that!
Wow, Kristin, so many different projects! I guess that's what keeps it interesting ~ when we mix up what we do in our homes. Your kitchen turned out great and we have a very similar closet system in our walk-in closet. I like how you've added some decorative accessories to the shelves.
What wonderful pictures of your beautiful home, Kristin! I'm so glad you shared the before picture of your kitchen… I hadn't seen it before. The transformation is amazing… love it!
I'm so glad to hear that you had a wonderful Christmas, my friend. Thanks so much for all of the wonderful inspiration you've given us in 2010! Wishing you all the best in 2011!

It's all wonderful! I love the simple black mirror over the bed, the boys' bath is heart stealing and I'm crazy about that front door. Lisa~

You are one very talented woman! Gorgeous transformations. Your kitchen is beautiful! You and your husband did an amazing job! Everything you do is done with such class and elegance. Your closet is a lovely haven. I can't wait to tranform mine. I'm inspired after seeing yours. I love the antique desk and that color is one of my favorites – so peaceful and feminine. You were brave to tackle the stenciled wall and it is stunning! I admire you for your creativity and willingness to try to tackle something new. You are an inspiration to me, Kristin!
You should be amazingly proud of all that gorgeous work & all the other smaller projects, styling, trinkets & tireless promotion of other people's worlds!! Hapy new year fabulous one, love Posie

Kristin,
I have been following your blog just a short time. I never went to the kitchen remodel and read about it. Oh my gosh! I have been all over blog land, and I have to say that your kitchen make over is by far the most stunning and well done DIY kitchen makeover!!!! Incredible!
Happy New Year!

I just had to end 2010 telling you that your blog is one of my favorites. I started blogging this year for many different reasons. I found more than I ever imagined. I needed helpful advice and inspiration for my home and I found it at your blog. Your blog is one of the first I started following. I was even brave and left comments on your blog, which was a big deal for me. Thanks for sharing your creativity. You are truly an inspiration! Happy New Year!
I didn't start in blogland until June, so Im actually thankful for this post. I will have to go back to the first half of the year and see you fabulous projects. Looking forward to the New Year and what surprises you have.
Wow, Kristin! I love all of your projects for 2010!! Your kitchen is amazing, and the beachy boys bathroom is so nice!
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for 2011!
Hope you have a great day!
Beth.
