Happy New Year-Favorite Projects of 2009!

Last year I did a top 10 favorite projects post. Actually, I did it in January, (which you can see here), but since this is the last day of the year, I thought I would just go for it. After looking at my posts from the year, I realized that I was pretty lazy about taking pictures of many of my completed projects.

So, here we go! In no particular order, here are some of my favorite projects of 2009!


Lined shopping cart trio.

Vintage wallpaper clipboards

Vintage wallpaper jewelry boxes

Another shopping cart trio

Barkcloth and vintage floral pillows



Display cabinet with vintage wallpaper

Shabby sewing drawers

Shabby buffet

Fancy blingy belt buckles

Cute vintage minty dresser


Soldered Collagey Christmas Ornament


Ruffley pantaloons


Reflector ornaments

Soldered charms


Cute apron


I forgot to include the project craigslist furniture I got this year and transformed, but you can check it out if you want to, on this post.


Wow, what a slacker I've been. ha ha Seriously, I do feel that way a lot. I always seem to have so many ideas for projects I want to do, but like some, I struggle with what to do first and waste a lot of time doing nothing. I don't like to make New Year's Resolutions as I always break them, but if I were to make one for 2010 it would be to spend more time being creative. That sounds like a fun resolution, don't you think?

As this is my last post for 2009, I want to wish you all a wonderful New Year. Here's hoping 2010 will be a great one!

  18. Recently I bought "blogging for bliss by Tara Frey, visiting some of the blogs mentioned in the book, doing some clicks on the links, I found yours. I love it!
    I love roses and all the romantic and shabby look.
    Here is mine if you want to have a look at mine.
    It's about roses too. My favorite flower.

  24. Your projects from 2009 look so stunning all listed in one post. I'm very inspired by them because I too love vintage wallpaper, and roses of course! My stash includes a lot of flocked papers, which are my new favorite. Have you worked with flocked paper? I'll bet your creations would be lovely.....
