Ahh, yes. Welcome to that weirdo week between Christmas and New Year’s. There should be an official name for this time of year. It’s so strange. You’re coming down from a Christmastime high and kinda bummed out, but at least New Year’s gives you something to look forward to, but not really, because everyone knows New Year’s is the lamest holiday of all. These are all my feelings anyway, perhaps yours are different. My experience with New Year’s is that you basically sit at home and watch people on TV having fun.
However, I AM trying to institute a new tradition with my family this year: a lip-sync battle! If you’re a fan of Jimmy Fallon, you know how it works. It’s my dream to battle him someday, so I need all the practice I can get. I’ve already picked my song: California Luv. I can do both Tupac and Dr. Dre’s parts, so I’m prettttty sure I have this victory clinched.
Anyway, enough about me, how was YOUR Christmas/Holiday Season? I hope it was wild and wonderful and you got everything you wished for, and you didn’t get what you think is the beginning stages of bronchitis, but ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
This week I’ll be wrapping up 2014 with highlights of my favorite posts from each month. It was a good year. I’m sad to see it gone so quickly.
Let’s start with JANUARY! (Yes Lindsey. Of course we start with January).
We welcomed the arrival of our sweet baby boy and also enjoyed this fabulous porch/exterior makeover from Lindsey & Drew.
From afar it looks pretty nice, but get cloooooser …
Cloooooooserrrr!
Almost a year later and I still want to be a squatter on this porch. Beautiful.
FEBRUARY I had baby boys on the brain and fell in love with this nautical nursery makeover from Kim.
Love the touches of red on the closet door panels.
The corner curtain rod makes great use of what could have been just an awkward space. Now it looks like an architectural asset. PS: That chair is painted!
MARCH was a great month, too many incredible projects to choose from. But this gold stenciled bedroom makeover from Pam really stuck in my brain. It went from so basic and plain to a stunning sophisticate.
I’m also a sucker for gold and white and ostrich.
She’s a classy dame, this one.
That wraps up today, come back tomorrow for more highlights from 2014! Did you have a favorite from this year? Can you believe it’s almost over??

December 30, 2014 at 12:00 PMI agree. This week is totally the pits! I hate New Year’s Eve! It’s like forced celebration. I truly have nothing to do that night & I’m fine with that but the world makes me feel like I shouldn’t be…thus making me feel totally guilty when my kids are in bed by 9 and I’m in my pajamas and headgear by 10! Just kidding, I don’t have headgear, but you get the idea! Anyways, I love the baby boy bedroom. I planned on using this makeover for inspiration for Dexter’s room, but a year later, the poor third child has only a crib and plastic totes in his room. Maybe someday…
