Six Months and Counting

Today is officially my six month anniversary of writing this blog. Six months -  I really can't believe it.  What started as something to help pass the time while my kids play three hours of tennis (four nights a week), has turned into an amazing, albeit unexpected journey (aren't those the best in life - when you least expect it).   I enjoy every moment I spend on this blog and I feel so lucky and grateful for all of the friendships I have developed. I appreciate those of you who stop by on a daily basis as well as those of you who stop by only now and then.  I look forward to all of your visits and read each and every comment.  You have all made me feel so welcome in blogland. It is so wonderful to have people appreciate the work you do, and each and every day I feel appreciate by all of you.  Thank you so much for that.  I am amazed and inspired by all of your talent.  I look forward to continuing on this journey for a long time to come.
In the spirit of the anniversary, I thought I would use today to highlight some of the projects I have done on my blog since I began.

One of the first posts  I did was called Trash to Treasure.  My husband's grandmother had passed away at nearly 105 years old and we got a few pieces from her home.  Can you believe the before and after of this dresser?

What started out as a piece that had been all but destroyed, turned into something really special.  It was worth all of the hard work sanding it down and refinishing it.  It turned out to be solid mahogany.  What a treasure.

My daughter's room was a super fun project.  It was time for an update of her room.  You can click here to read all about what went into this renovation.

My guest room makeover is another one of my favorite projects.  That room is filled with bargains and knock-offs that allowed me to makeover the room on a budget.  You can read all about this here.

My mudroom renovation was my first attempt at board and batten.

I love how it came out and it was very easy.  The hardest part was getting off the wallpaper.  You can check out the full reveal here.  I love doing laundry now!

I can't forget my son's bathroom transformation (you can click here to read all about it)

...or my daughter's bathroom transformation (click here to read all about it).

I have so many more projects planned and I can't wait to share them.  I look forward to continuing my journey with you.  Thank you again for your friendships and for your all of you kind comments.  I always look forward to your visits and appreciate everything you have to say.

Have a great weekend!!
