So, although we already a few days into 2013 – I couldn’t let 2012 completely go without sharing a little look back at the top decorating ideas and inspiration.
2012 was a year of a blog re-design, a year of figuring out better what I wanted to do with this blog, a year of getting to know so many more of my readers and a year where I figured out more about what I love so much about blogging.
The power of all those programs out there that track “traffic” to a site, make it so that we can reflect on what you guys visited most quite easily.
I have enjoyed this stroll down memory lane and if you have been around all year, hopefully you will too.
And if you are relatively new around here, maybe you find something new that interests you.
Here it goes…
Number 12 – Toolbox & Crate Christmas Tree
Number 11 – Enchanting Fall Mantel
Number 10 – Elegantly Spooky Halloween Table
Number 9 – Our Christmas Family Room Tour
Number 8 – Our Fall Front Door Makeover
Number 7 – Galvanized Tub Christmas Tree
Number 6 – Summer Mantel and Bat Flag
Number 5 – Decorating our Family Room
Number 4 – Guest Bathroom Decorating
Number 3 – Thanksgiving Table Decorating Printable
Number 2 – Ikea Hack Decoupaged Tween Desk

Thank you so much for all of your support, kindness, comments and encouragement in 2012. It is so very truly appreciated.
I look forward to 2013 and hope to bring you new ideas, inspiration and stories of our journey that you enjoy.


















I love them all!!!! I hadn’t seen your galvanized bucket Christmas tree – how awesome.
I can’t even pick a favorite!
I loved many of these!
Laura, your Summer mantel and the toolbox and crate Christmas tree are my favorites. I pinned the “tree”. I have to make one of those next year. My box stash is out of control; it would have been so cool to have finally had a good use for them like this to justify their existence.
Thanks for sharing your roundup of 2012 projects. I enjoyed it.

Number 6, the Summer Mantel, specifically the baseball bat and starfish flag is still my fav!!! Can’t wait to see 2013! And, more importantly, I can’t wait to see YOU!!! Miss you and hope we can make a plan to see you guys soon. xoxo
Great recap

Loved all of these and they have given me great inspiration, especially the TWEEN room. My 11 year old daughter loved it and has requested her room be redecorated the same. Happy New Year to you!
