The Year In Review

Okay, technically this post should have been yesterday's seeing how it was the last day of 2011 but as I mentioned I am behind on everything as always. So, yesterday's post is now going up today and the post I had planned for today will be up tomorrow! And then hopefully after that everything else will be according to schedule! =) Anyway, here is a recap of some of our favorite projects and events shown here on our blog this past year:

My favorite project from January was this pleated slipcover for our leather ottoman and some fun pillows for Valentine's Day.
