Cindy from My Romantic Home is hosting a year in review and so is Rhoda at Southern Hospitality. I thought I would post some of my favorite projects and make-overs. I added a few extra pics for Rhoda's party.
Love this curb side find!
And I am so glad
I painted my coffee table red. Some day I would love a grown-up fancy rectangular table, but right now with little heads running around, oval it shall be. Plus, it's so sturdy, it makes a great stage!
Loved this pumpkin planter...
and how about the magic of paint, a shelf and some permanent adhesive squares?
I loved my new faux paneling my ugly un-paneled bathroom door with molding,
and having my Gram's couch reupholstered. My Dad grew up on that couch!
A little garbage picking here and there..
some hand painted tea towels
and chair make-overs.
I painted an old mirror new for my downstairs bath, now the kids can actually see where to wipe the chocolate off of their faces.
I loved re-painting this table! I loved this table! I was so sorry when it was gone!
And repainting and recovering this bench. I would say it was a good year. I know next year is going to be even better. I'm excited to have even more furniture make overs and craft projects to share!
Also, pop on over to the Blissfully Domestic Style page to enter to win one of my Queen Bee Tee's and a bunch of other yummy prizes! You have until Saturday, January 10th!
Happy New Year!
Jen

That drop-leaf table turned out great! And I like the contrast in the straight-lined pews reupholstered in funky fabric.

Lots of great projects this year! I love the door, we did that a few years ago to some of our doors and it makes a plain door look very chic!
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to visit you.

ok, how lovely is all of that. My favorite might be the bathroom, losing those ceramic things to get that beautiful shelf was so worth it. Second would be the bathroom door. It is amazing what a bit of trim will do!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your hand painted table and that mirror. Thanks for your visit and comment.
ReplyDeleteWell, when you put it all together that's quite a good year!! There were so many projects of yours I liked it would be hard for me to pick just a few. Here's to many happy make overs in 2009! :-)

ReplyDeleteIs it really only adhesif tape holding up that shelf ???- can't believe that !
....and just love the tea towels !
I look forward to checking out new projects on 2009 !
Cheers,
Bre

Linda

kristen
I love your wonderful ideas and would love to cover up the tootpaste holder in my bathroom and spruce up the doors. Could you please tell me which one of your posts gives the directions? Thank you SO very much!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing transformations ~ well done ~ thunderous applause from Phoenix!
ReplyDeleteOh, Queen of Painting furniture...it's been a good year! Thanks Jen, for playing along, you have done some wonderful projects. One of my faves is that little shelf in your bathroom. And all the animal print redos, love them! It's been great to blog with you in 2008 & I look forward to more in 2009!
ReplyDeleteGreat jobs. mishelle
ReplyDeleteFabulous projects! Wow you were busy this year. Everything looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects! I iwsh I could find some good junk by the curb. Not so much of that around here.
ReplyDeleteI love all your transformations, especially the molding on the door. Such a small detail makes a big difference!
ReplyDeleteOh the door is my favorite of yours! I can't believe the difference a little bit of molding changed it.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love that you kept the couch your dad grew up with and had it recovered :)
rue
Great projects! Your bathroom (with the tile, soap and toothpaste holder) has inspired me to do something similar this year in our bathroom!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy, girl! Wow! I love all the projects...but the one that you would think has the least impact has the most to me...the door. JUst a common door, but a new door, fresh coat of paint...and it s a room that'd I'd be interested in seeing what is behind it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks great! Hey! I am here from the 2008 Before and After! Stop by my place if you can.
Jen, you are so creative and inspiring. I've so enjoyed your blog and all your projects this past year. You make me TIRED just reading about your accomplishments!I still want you to come here and do some of my furntiure over!xoxo!
ReplyDeletelove your style. i'm re-doing a chair similar to your first one...in an animal print nonetheless! great projects!
ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteI always love stopping by to see what wonderful creative painting job your are working on. These are some great projects and they look great! I enjoy your creative nature;) I am looking forward to this next year and your wonderful projects:)
You have had some wonderful projects, but my favorite is that sweet table. Great job!
ReplyDeletehmmm...I just picked up a very similar scrolled mirror (I believe it is resin) at a flea market for $5 - It is in perfect condition, but not sure I like the gold. I just can't decide if I should paint it white or some funky bright color...black looks good too, but no sure it would go with my other stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh.My.Goodness! The red coffee table is fabulous!!! Do you happen to have a tutorial on how you created it?? Thanks! Your biggest fan! :)
