Top 10 Projects of 2014 – From Thrift Store Makeovers to Purge Sales to My Flower-Less Summer and More!

December 31, 2014  Best Of | Uncategorized

2014

What a very good year it’s been.

I’m taking a walk down memory lane (actually, I should be jogging to work off all the extra eggnog I’ve been consuming) and re-visiting my Top DIY Projects 2014 …

I’m getting fancy and counting down in Spanish in honor of my dad.

Thrift shop makeovers.  The mission: find something at the thrift shop and mail it to someone else then transform what we got into something fabulous!  The results – some fabulous, some just plain funny – but at least we tried!

Nueve

This wasn’t just any garage sale – it was The Purge Sale where I shared my tips on throwing a killer yard sale.

I decked the halls and trimmed the trees and drank way too many glasses of eggnog for my Christmas home tour.

      Sounds like a lovely Christmas Debbie – so glad your family enjoyed your handmade gifts! I’ll be counting down the days until you can enjoy the warm weather full time – only a year and a half to go!
