The Best of 2011

UPDATE: Tim and I will be appearing on The Nate Show this Wednesday, January 4th! Ahhhhh! Click here to find out what time the show is on in your area!

Hey Friends! Looking back on 2011, we had a pretty great year! We met some wonderful new friends, got to visit our favorite place on earth, and made some major strides towards our goals!

Now with all the responsibilities we all have pulling us different directions, Tim and I thought you may have missed a few posts this year. For that reason, we put together our favorites list! Run down the list and see if there's anything that slipped by the first time. . . or maybe there's something you just want to read again! :)

Our Lace Stenciled Dresser was a favorite. Best of all, it's so easy anyone can do it! We got to show Nate how easy this is to create.

In 2011, Tim created his First Prototype Table and it was a hit! He went on to build prototypes for a number of other designs as well!

Tim shared the "Key to Our Relationship" with this awesome DIY project!

The Fish Scale Feature Wall got some love. We also got a couple of tips on how to apply this to your walls in different ways. Most of the suggestions were to attach the scales to something larger (a piece of poster board or wood) and then attach the larger item to the wall to keeps the number of holes at a minimum.

The DIY Concrete Wall was an Apartment Therapy favorite.

This year, I shared something very important to me- having a positive self image.

In the same year that I joined the Anthro team, I said goodbye to Anthro because it was getting in the way of a greater dream. Click the link to read more of the story.

In 2011, We got news that DIY Magazine wanted to feature our home! We completed a few living room projects just for them. Read about our new media console and DIY shelving!

Oh, and I almost forgot! We got to be part of the Design Crew when HGTV'd and Ellen partnered to give a military family a wonderful makoever! Read about our experience here and the design here!
