Dogs Don't Eat Pizza

2014 has been a busy year! I can’t believe all that’s happened: lots of projects in the old house, then we moved, then lots of projects – inside and out – in the new-to-us 1929 house. Here’s a look back at the top ten posts of 2014. You can click on the picture(s) to go directly to that post.

10. Repurposing Old Lockers for Storage

I found a set of old lockers at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $149.99 (!!) and turned them into toy storage for the kiddos.

I loved hearing from many of you that this trick worked for you, too!

7. Vintage Coke Crate Spice Rack

I turned this vintage Coke crate into a spice rack in our kitchen:

And I was honored that my spice rack was featured at BobVila.com! That was a highlight for me!

6. From Victorian to Vintage (it’s as easy as changing a lightbulb!)

I removed the builder-grade light shades on the fixtures in our bathroom and added these Edison bulbs for a more vintage look.

We love the new look and they provide plenty of light in the bathroom.

5. Industrial Cart into Bar Cart

One of my favorite projects, ever. I had to mess it up once to get it right, but it was so worth it. I love my little cart!

4. Faux Roman Shades from Shower Curtains

Another bathroom update.

I had to stop flashing the neighbors, after all!

Using a plan from Ana White, I changed some things and added some things and built this custom pedestal for our laundry room.

And finally…drum roll please! The #1 most viewed post of 2014 was…

1. Bedroom Redo on a Budget

You all loved how my daughter ripped a picture from Better Homes and Gardens magazine and decided she wanted her room to look like that picture.

I didn’t have the budget for what was exactly in the picture, so I came up with this:

It turned out really well. Most importantly, she loves it!

So, there you have it! The top posts of 2014.

I can’t wait for 2015! Lots of projects planned, including finishing our kitchen re-do:

Stay tuned.
