2012 ~ A Project Year In Review

As 2012 comes to a close, I thought it would be nice to have a record in one post of my projects for 2012.  Plus, we have family visiting so project time is limited!  I’ll limit these to my favorites since this post would be way too long if I listed them all! 

In January I painted a French dresser I found through Craig’s List.  It was my first time trying a color {Duck Egg} in the chalk paints other than the neutrals.

In February, I made chair slips out of  white tablecloths found at the thrift store for our dining area chairs, after finding inspiration from other blogs and on Pinterest.

March found me over at my daughter’s house finishing up the makeover on my granddaughter’s bedroom.  Going from what was a room decorated for little boys when they moved in to a girly girl room.

In April I had a lot going on ~ 30 posts for the month!  I’ll have to go with the organizing of my craft/sewing room for this month.  It made it a lot easier to find things and maneuver around this small room.

In May, I also had a lot of different projects and it is hard to choose which is my favorite for this month.  I think it’s a tie between this magazine holder makeover

and the side tables in the guest room.

In June, we fixed up our laundry room area, which also has the garage entrance to our condo, the hallway to my craft/sewing room, as well as an entrance into the kitchen. 

In July, we replaced carpet with new wood flooring in the main areas of the condo.  I shared the first two rooms we did, office and dining room, here.

 

I had quite a few projects in August, big and little, but I think my favorite was the new look the mirror in our main bathroom got just from adding a frame.

September was no different, lots of projects to pick from as a favorite, but I think this little accent table I made over has to be my favorite for this month.

In October I breathed a sigh of relief that I finally completed the valances for our sunroom.

November didn’t have anything exciting going on, but I think this memo board was a favorite from a headed to the trash piece.

Finally, in December, since I was getting ready for Christmas I think my favorite for this month was the Frosty hat I made.  I’d wanted one for awhile now and, after seeing an easy tutorial, I made my own.

So that’s a review of some of my favorite projects of 2012.  I’m sure I say this every year, but my goal for 2013 will be to use up things I already have on hand before purchasing more or new.  Between fabric, paint, and craft supplies, I have more than enough to challenge myself to use them.
