In a few short hours it will be 2011! Every year seems to go by faster then the previous year which, I guess, is a testament to the busy lives we lead. But no matter how busy I may be, my creative thinking skills are always in constant motion. It keeps life so much more interesting and fresh. Much of the redesign ideas I do come to me when I am carrying out my everyday responsibilities. The ability to breathe second life into thrift store and road side finds is not only personally fulfilling but the fact that I am doing my part to spare the landfill warms my heart immensely.
So here is a look back at my most favorite and/or most commented projects. I want to thank you for all your warm and encouraging comments through the year and hope that you will continue to share. Your comments motivate and inspire me to continue doing what I do. I read and treasure each and every one of them. Please know, however, I would love to hear from everyone who takes the time to stop by and read my posts so I would like to encourage my silent readers to have at it as well. With that said, here is a look back at 2010.

Great post! I LOVE that settee and am on the hunt for one that I can afford!
