{2011} A Home in the Making

Did you all have a great Christmas? We had such a lovely holiday. It was filled with family and so much love and fun. Over the next couple weeks I'll share some of the gifts we received + one of the gifts we gave. You'll love it :).

But today we're going to take a look back at the year we've had at A Home in the Making. We've had this little blog going for over THREE years. Can you believe that? And, it just keeps getting better each year. I like looking back on the year because it's fun to remind myself all we've accomplished on our little home. 

So here are my favorites, by month.

January

Was all about organizing. The kitchen, the basement. And taking a look at our decorating style.

February

In the midst of a couple major projects, we found a compass. On our floor.

March

Was a big month. We revealed our back bedroom makeover, our new hardwood floors, and posted a tutorial about refinishing your own hardwoods.

April

We revealed our back entry.

May

We finished up our hardwoods by installing quarter-round. And, we talked about why we are NOT moving. Right now.

June

Was a month of risks, and of starting the {yet to be finished} craft room.

July

Launched the summer of fun series that took me on a crazy whirl-wind tour of the NW and lasted through September. 

August

Included creating a capiz pendant and learning many lessons from painting a high-gloss black navy blue door.

September

Was all about our new gallery wall and a variety of living room updates.

October

We showed you a peek into our wedding and created wall stripes in our hallway (!).

November

We showed you how to create glam gold vases and we hosted our first Thanksgiving.

December

Was all about the holidays. Of course.

I think what I love most about the last year is how many big house projects we tackled. Especially compared to last year. I feel like we really made a dent in our house project list.

I'm linking up to Southern Hospitality's link party. I can't wait to read everyone's lists! :)
