Looking back at 2011

Happy New Year!

New Years is always a good time to sit back and reflect on what has been accomplished over the past year. It's also time to think about goals for the coming year. More on that tomorrow.

Here is a look back at some of the house projects that we completed in 2011

Made a matching (to our dining room table) shelf for the console table.


We travelled to Detroit in the winter to get the only remaining Kulla Lights from Ikea.


We picked up the Solair chairs for our front porch.


Installed a custom floating desk in the office and painted one wall with chalk board paint.


We painted the interior of our front door yellow.


We planted some Annabelle Hydrangeas in the back yard.


We painted the alley side of our garage to match our updates from last year.


The top half of our house had all the missing trim added and the painting done.


We worked in the garden, tried to improve our lawn and planted some vines on the chain link fence.


We found some great second hand bar stools which we refinished.


We refinished the outdoor lounges that we inherited with the house.


We installed new Eavestroughs on our front porch.


And our big reno for the year was the bathroom update and new shower.





And of course we revealed our most life altering project yet. It's still a work in progress. Completion expected April 2012.


See you in 2012!
