2010 Year in Review

A Year in Blogland
Personally, this was not one of my better years, 
but as far as how my year was in cyberspace...it couldn't have been better!

I thought I'd review some of the things I accomplished and shared this past year.
In one of my earliest posts, I shared how I built my vintage inspired fireplace.
It continues to be one of the more popular posts on my blog.
I had fun with this quick project.
A little chalkboard to leave messages to the weenies.
I painted my front door my favorite color - Periwinkle.
A hail storm came through in May and wiped out my roof and destroyed the paint on my house.
After much consideration and much more talk about it on the blog.
I finally decided on a slate colored roof and painted my windows 
Sherwin Williams "Underseas". The whole month of August was spent on outside house projects.
My backyard deck was so lush back in September.
I miss it so much and can't wait to plant stuff again in the spring.
In September I shared my glamorous, yet small hall bath. 
This bathroom has been an ongoing project.
I kept adding mirrors till I had over 60!
Spurred on by a challenge on Funky Junk Interiors....I finished my gallery frame wall.
In October I did a whole month of Halloween.
This was one of my little projects that people seemed to love.
A little ghost trapped in a container. I had a blast all month doing nothing but scary stuff.
I finally showed my kitchen in November after adding some accessories.
There is still much I'd like to do to this room but I got so many kind
comments that I decided perhaps it was not so bad.
Still there are lots I'd like to do to this room.
Following my kitchen reveal I shared my breakfast nook.
I made this simple curtain for the room the night before.
After that I shared lots of my Christmas decor and got so much great feedback that it really made my Christmas special.

Now is the time where I am suppose to do New Year's Resolutions or create a list of things to do 
for the New Year. 
But I think I need to just go back to 2010's list and try to complete it.

I still have many projects in the works...and I'll be sure to show them off as I finish them.
I am a bit perplexed at how quickly some in Blogland turn projects out. 
I just have to tell myself that at least I'm moving forward and not backward. 

Like that dining room that was suppose to be ready for Christmas 
which I have not been able to work on at all since well before Christmas.

Oh...well....it will probably be the first reveal of 2011.
Or maybe not...Maybe I'll do some small ones before that. 
We'll see how it goes.
