Looking Back at 2012

January 3, 2013 by Bethany Sy

Happy New Year friends! We had a crazy wild year of 2012, and wanted to share a few a LOT of our favorite projects from the past year! I don’t think I realized just how productive we’ve been until I started going back through posts and reflecting on the past 12 months.
Some of these projects seem so recent, while others seem like centuries ago. If you’ve been around here for awhile, it will be a fun review for you! And if you’re relatively new (WELCOME!) you’ll see just what we’ve been up to… other than chasing two toddlers. Heh.
You can click on each photo below to be directed to that post. If you’d like to PIN on of these projects, please be sure to go to the original post to Pin It instead of pinning from this post.

    Wow! What a busy year with amazing projects. You guys are such an inspiration. I can’t wait to see what fabulous stuff you come up with in 2013! If I had to pick a favorite I LOVE LOVE the board batten you did in your living room. I would love that in my house. And your stencil wall at the top of your stairs! Happy New Year. jillymarie08@hotmail.com

    I consider myself a pretty faithful follower, but I missed a couple of things that turned out to be my favorites!! The Audrey Hepburn cabinet and the wine cabinets are fabulous. You may be the reason I never get rid of another thing. Ever.
