Favorite Projects of 2014

As we sit here together post-Christmas, we're thinking about our favorite projects and upcoming plans for 2015.

Let's start with our 2014 list:

#1 The Paris Street Market
This was our first joint venture and it was a huge success despite lots of heavy lifting. We loved planning, displaying and selling. It was wonderful to see so many of our friends and followers come out for the event as well. View the posts about our goods and the market here, here, here, and here.



#2 Refreshing Kandy's Master Bedroom
This refresh included new bedding, new paint, new draperies and an overall lightening up of the décor.



#3 Creating a Funky Junk Mailbox
Dwight got involved in this DIY project---so much so that we call it "Dad's Project." The results are still holding strong! 




#4 DIY Penny Ball
Kandy and Dwight got creative with a bowling ball and lots and lots of pennies to create this unique yard art (which has now been moved inside).



#5 A New Old Farm Table
Kandy found and refinished an old farm table for Karli's new dining space. It made a huge difference in the transformation of the room!



#6 Giving an Old Christmas Village New Life
After years of storage in Kandy's barn, these ceramic houses got a new modern look. Karli is loving the finished product.




#7 Karli's Christmas Tree Makeover
After imagining a white, light tree Karli is thrilled with her new ornaments and tree elements.



#8 Painting the Front Door Black
Kandy painted her front door in May and hasn't looked back.



As we enter the New Year, we'll be sharing a few things we're excited to start, continue and/or finish in 2015. More to come!

We wish you all a safe and happy end of 2014.

Home for the Holidays Part 1: The Tree


It is that wonderful time of year when we take extra efforts to make our home a warm glowing space where memories are made.  December is here and I have finished several holiday decorating jobs for other people.  Now it is time for our home.  We will be staying home for the holidays this year so it is time to "deck the halls." 


I thought I would share a few pictures with you, starting with the tree.  I am not really the traditional "red and green" person, so our tree is more natural, with pinecones, bronze, browns, golds, some old brass ornaments, and some newer glass balls. 



 








Our house is a work in progress during the month of December.  Keep posted and I'll try to share more photos as Christmas moves into other rooms.


Continuing till the 25th,
Kandy
