I started this blog back in February, right after we closed on our house, so “Our Year in Review” is a little bit of a misnomer…but that’s okay, right? Is it also okay that I used the word “misnomer”?
We’ve definitely stayed busy this year, some projects being big and others being small, but we had fun—and learned something—with every single one. Here are some of my favorite projects from 2011, in no particular order. For more details, you can click on the project titles to be routed to the original post.
10. Love Letter Art
7. West Elm-Inspired Tray Makeover
4. DIY Desk
2. Curbside Dresser-Turned-TV Stand
Aside from these projects and buying our first home, though, one of my favorite things that happened in 2011 was this little furball:
(Does anyone else think that a cat who is loved has a pretty sweet life?)
As we finish up 2011, Rick and I are spending time with family and also starting our master closet makeover, which I’ll share more about next week. My brother is home from Phoenix this week, so we’re having fun getting caught up. I’m hoping to get some pictures of us siblings that won’t qualify for Awkward Family Photos after the fails we ended up with at Thanksgiving time.
Aaaaand that about sums us up. Don’t ask.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Be sure to come back on Thursday for my second-ever giveaway! :)

I'm pretty sure the applesauce jars are what brought me here! :) I think my favorite post was the lampshade picture one - but you always make me laugh! :)
