Hello! I hope you are enjoying the summer. We got to spend time with our family and friends and I kicked everyone’s butt at mini golf! Did I tell you I was really good at mini golf? It’s a special skill. Since I realized I didn’t do monthly round ups of my projects, I decided to show them all in a January through June highlight post. Here are my best projects for the first half of the year and links to my guests posts that I write each month too.
January
The year started off with a major painting project in the upstairs hallway when I stenciled the entire space and hung up new art. The stencil gave such nice dimension to the walls. I also did some sewing and finally put together the paint colors in my house for you. See the posts below:

In April I revealed my plans for a master bedroom makeover. It is the one space in the house we haven’t done much with and could use some sprucing up.

June was finally time for outdoor fun and that included our small backyard makeover plan and reveal. I also finalized our small master bathroom makeover plans with a new vanity, floor and toilet. And I had some fun with fellow bloggers with a thrift store exchange called #SwapItLikeItsHot.
