Year of Epic Makeovers: The Best of 2011
28.12.11
So many amazing transformations took place in our home in 2011! From simple projects to entire room makeovers, 2011 was a year of FUN & Budget-friendly DIY transformations.
Here are the highlights from our 2011 DIY Adventures in Home Improvement & Decorating!

The Dining Room & Conversation Area
 | ||||
| This Transformation post is from May 2011 - more has since been added {like the painted mirror, West Elm curtains and the reupholstered bergere chairs - see below too!}. |
***
The Amazing Chevron Wall
 |
| This was an amazing project because I truly realized the power of paint. We had originally wanted to wallpaper the wall, but it was too expensive. My beloved zig-zags added the perfect punch to a dull white box of a room! |
***
The Kitchen Transformation
 |
| For details of this amazing transformation, click here for the full post! We've also recently added under-cabinet lighting - what a HUGE difference that makes too! I'm so thankful for a handy and talented hubby! |

Little A's Room: Modern Nursery Chic
 |
| I am IN LOVE with Little A's fun & girly {without being baby-ish!} nursery. If we move, I'm going to have to re-create this room! Here's a link to the original post and a follow up post where I did some Dollar Store DIY art! |
***
Spray Painted Door Knobs
 |
| I love this project because it's SO easy & fast and creates a HIGH IMPACT for little effort! It's spray paint. And it's AWESOME. Click here for the full post/tutorial. |

Modern Moroccan Master Bedroom Updates
 |
| It didn't take much beyond paint, light linens & a vision to create this relaxing Master Bedroom Retreat! The furniture, rug & even the West Elm sofette was found through Kijiji - so this room is chic and VERY budget-friendly! |
***
The Family Room
 |
| We turned our 4th bedroom into an upstairs family room! Click here & here for how we did it! |
***
Simple Chair Transformation
 |
| This was a simple DIY project - my 1st attempt @ upholstery. Click here for the full post! |
***
EZ's Room: Modern Zoom Zoom Zoom!
 |
| EZ's room is very kid-friendly, but not too childish. The wall treatment was done by Big A - and he did an AMAZING job! It adds a lot of architectural interest to an otherwise builder's box of a room :) |
 |
| The DIY Alphabet Wall was done with letters from the dollar store! Click here for the tutorial! |
***
Bergere Chairs
 |
| We're *almost* finished this now-gorgeous chairs, but this was indeed an epic transformation that completed the conversation area in our dining room! |
***
The Entry Way
 |
| Our entry way went from being EMPTY to several changes itself this year. We added a bench & a large rug, framed photos, a new light fixture, drapes, painted the door black, then changed the bench to a console table -- I love to have a flat surface at the front entry! |
***
Spice Organization
 |
| This was an easy little project, but I LOVED it because it made my spices so accessible which comes in handy since I'm cooking more since becoming vegan. |

Bulletin Board Upgrade
