Top Projects of 2010

This year seems to have been a year when I went from project to project.

Seeing all the great inspiration out here in blogland from you all,

 definitely lit a fire under my fanny

to lighten and brighten and "whiten" up my home.

I tried a few things that I never would have thought about before

...slipcovering two red chairs in my Living Room,

and adding chair slips to my Dining Room chairs.

Painting and papering my Dining Room

Painting a few old friends

Studio/Office repaint

A "what are you thinking!!!???" paint job

 

And the dreaded kitchen cabinets and walls.

Oh, but I'm so glad I did, and I don't regret one little ounce of paint or sweat!

I'm linking up to Rhoda for her Top Projects Party,

can't wait to see what everyone else has been doing this year!

Southern Hospitality

And Kim at Savvy Southern Style

 

If you've visited from a party hope you'll come back!

hugs,

Debra

Holy Matrimony

Today is our Anniversary and I wanted to share a little of what I did yesterday.

The urge to re-do the hall sideboard got the better of me,

but I'm only showing one shelf of my makeover.

I found this Marriage Certificate from December 30, 1924

and decided it needed to be the focal point for my creative project.

I love old documents, and the graphics and fonts on this are just beautiful.

It makes me a little sad to think this wonderful keepsake found it's way to a flea market.

December 28, 1972

Still in love all these years later...

 Vintage Inspiration Friday

 I'm showing the rest of my re-do.

(It's a silver extravaganza!)



love you all,

Debra
