2014 DIY Rundown

 2014…what a blessed year!

2014 was the year of DIY for us! After being in our home for a few short months and working hard on revamping our 1985 home to work for our family and my “taste”, I decided to take my “not-so-blog-like-blog” to an actual “blog” haha, if that makes any sense. I really wanted to document everything we had done in 2013 which included our search for a home, but did not get very far. Though I loved every second of our DIY fun and painting non-stop, I felt the urge to really explain it to the world and show every new project that was happening and taking photos became quite the fun hobby as well. So…here it is the 2014 recap….

January 2014

The Renovations in progress…

The Cabinets were painted and the hardware is on, but the counter tops and the glass door and backsplash were not yet in place.

The Walls were painted here in Abalon (BM), but the doors were still in it’s original Oak state.
Just a reminder this is before I got my camera as a birthday gift…that came in April.
In February Came our Entryway Plank Wall (one of my favorite projects!)

In March we created our Pottery Barn Roman Shades Window Seat Knock Off

By April we created our DIY Clock Table and Ikea hack TV stand

Thank God for my new camera at this time in my blog life.

  1. Wow, you have accomplished so much in 2014! I’m so inspired by all your projects 🙂 I just love looking through these ‘year in review’ posts because I learn so much about bloggers that I recently started following. For instance, I am in LOVE with your industrial fan redo. So simple, yet beautiful.

  2. Lots of great projects Deb! I’m excited to see what you take on this year! I’m busily working on my 1960’s ranch fixer upper, your fan redo is one of the projects on my list. :o)
