    Your projects are amazing! What a great year in review. I love everything you did. 🙂

    I love it all!!! Looking forward to what you have in store for next year! (Oh, and I still wish we were neighbors and friends. And I went back and bought that wreath. Yup, and hung it up even though it was the day after Christmas. I actually go outside just to look at it it’s so pretty!)

    • Chris says

      December 28, 2011 at 11:25 am

      Yay! So glad you got the wreath. Too bad we’re not neighbors–then I could enjoy it too! 😉 Good girl, Brittny!

    My favorite by far is the new table – I wish I could be as adventurous with color but so far my house is brown, tan, cream, and chocolate… Hopefully 2012 will bring you plenty more projects to give us DIY-envy and inspiration!

    • Chris says

      December 28, 2011 at 11:24 am

      My house is quite similar, Laura. I can’t help it. Love the neutrals. Find somewhere less “threatening” in the house and plug a pop of color in there. You’ll be amazed how much you love it!

    Your bath redo is just the best! And, I would love to find a china cabinet like that to paint and I think about your son’s pallet wall about once a week! Maybe we’ll bite that one off someday…fabulous ideas and inspiration!

    My goodness, your year in review just proves to me why I keep coming back to your blog for inspiration again and again. If I could paint at all, I’d wish my projects would come out just like yours. I do have those same brown feathers and a white yarn wreath I’m not using. Perhaps I can hack a JAG project in 2012! 😉 Thanks again for all the inspiration!

    Your painted china cabinet has always been one of my favorites. (I’ve been looking for the perfect piece for my daughter’s room ever since I saw yours.) Of course the wood plank wall is awesome. It totally transforms the room.

      Thank you, Miss Charming! Craigslist will be your best friend. 🙂
