Top Projects 2010

I am joining in on the Top Projects 2010 linky party that Rhoda from Southern Hospitality is hosting.  I knew that it was going to be a daunting task to look back over what I’ve done this year and I certainly have more to share than I did in last year’s post on this topic.

Starting back in January of this year, I made this cookie sheet memo board.  I use this in my crafty area.

Also in January, I got my finished white slipcover for my living room sofa and in February I painted my coffee table black.

I finished up February and my living room with some stationery roller shades made out of wrapping paper tubes, fabric and ribbon.

Then, in March I painted a plain pine armoire black and, besides dressing up the doors with some decorative wood pieces, I replaced the wood knobs with glass ones.

I think that knocked out most of the furniture I was redoing for this year.  In April, I pulled out my sewing machine and dusted it off to make this simple table runner with some scrap fabric I already had on hand.

On a smaller scale, I wanted a cloche and wasn’t willing to spend a lot of money.  I had a vase that I turned into a cloche and with the help of a pillar candleholder from the PB outlet, it works.

And then because one wasn’t enough, I made this one out of a clock! 

In October I painted my front door from white to black, and lucked out with a can of  “oops” paint from Home Depot for $1.00!

Finally, I’ll end this post with a Goodwill lamp I redid for my daughter.

I have to say that putting this post together had me feeling really good about all these projects again {plus all the little ones I did in between}.  I think 2011 will be a little lighter on the major projects as we do hope to downsize.  It will be fun to decorate a new home when the time comes!
