Painted the walls, doors, closets, & window seats --- made new cushions for the window seat --- installed new hardware --- hung new curtains --- added bead board to the desk
this is about all I can tell you on this one since mid-way through this reno we realized that this is no longer an office but now Little Peep’s room.
See, doesn’t that sound like a busy year?! Some rooms clearly got more love than others; we tried to focus on our common areas first and will tackle the others later. I’m glad I kept a list with things crossed off because otherwise I’m certain I would have forgotten some of these projects! Thank you hubby for all your hard work this year and always facing my crazy ideas with a warm heart! Now it’s on to 2014, and all of the many DIY projects and fun :-) I hope you stick around to see what projects are up our sleeves!
Happy Friday!
