NUMBER ONE
Crazy as this sounds, out of my Top 10 posts, my 1 top viewed post of 2015 was not a makeover, but a tip. Yep, a last-minute, grab-my-camera, and why-not-share-my-quirky-habit type of post. My "Natural Ant Control with Grits" post blew up and was by far number one. I guess I'm not the only one with the pesky little critters each spring.
NUMBER TWO
The 2 post was none other than BEEP. My garage sale freebie chest of drawers turned Volkswagen Bus.

NUMBER THREE
Our bathroom remodel was a sure-fire winner at 3. Our awful before was ripped out and with a whole barrel full of elbow grease we got it done.

NUMBER FOUR
Post 4 of my Top 10 is another sort of quirky makeover. I had refinished this farmhouse table set in 2014, but was in need of a post for a group challenge. I decided to whip up a post quick, and I'm so glad I did!

NUMBER FIVE
The 5 of my Top 10, is a project near and dear to my heart - our master bedroom remodel. This was such a memory-filled project because of what changed in our family during that time and the lessons I learned. You really should read from the beginning, and I promise it is worth it. I couldn't be happier with our new room and so stoked that it has been featured numerous times, including on This Old House.

NUMBER SIX
That was one glorious project for my husband and myself, but my first furniture project for me this year was my 6 post, the linen channel back chair. You'll never guess what I paid for it. tee hee.

NUMBER SEVEN
My 7 makeover of my Top 10 is this dressing table I found set out for city cleanup. Yes, set out for trash! {{gasp}}


NUMBER EIGHT
Now the 8 post was my first video tutorial and I had a blast making these cotton stem arrangements for less than $4. Yup. Can't beat it!

NUMBER NINE
A blue beauty makeover was my 9 post that also won me $250 in prizes. Wahoo!! Found this gorgeous piece tucked away at a thrift store and had no intention of bringing more furniture home, but who could leave it sit there?

NUMBER TEN
The 10 of my Top 10 from 2015 is one of my favorite makeovers this past year. I called it my Rustic Chic Finish and I worked it on this chest of drawers and dressing table I scored for FREE. Crazy, huh? Free isn't always what you think. You'll have to read the story to see.
MORE FAVORITES
Now that I've shown you my Top 10 viewed posts, I want to add a few that are my favorites. I call them my honorable mentions, though all my posts deserve some credit, I believe. My repurposed sewing storage took off and made waves this year. I took a rusty, crusty filing cabinet and used it to hang my fabric remnants on hanging files and put the coordinating scraps inside the folder. By far one of the best things I've done to improve my crafty supply storage.




KID FUN
As if that isn't enough excitement, this past year my kids have stepped up their game and started working on their own furniture pieces. I have several posts, but here a few highlighting their talents:Mid Century Modern Sunburst Table
Can you see how I am one proud mama? Nothing makes my heart glow than to see my kids learning a trade and making a way for themselves in this world. I could go on with other projects, but I'll leave that up to you to check out all my tutorials and projects by having fun peeking around. For the coming year, I am anxious to get our kitchen remodel done, then it will be onto our family room, living room, and our daughters' room. The fun never ends! I hope you've enjoyed my year in review, but before you head off, I'd like to ask you a favor. I want to hear from YOU, and ask if you would you take a minute to fill out this simple survey?
