looking back at 2010

I can't believe Sixty-Fifth Avenue is almost one year old! I've had a great time and look forward to the New Year and what that might bring. Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Here is a look back at some of my favorite posts of 2010. (The links will take you to the original post)




Kitchen before and after


The playhouse gets a name


Our fairy garden


Bought a paint sprayer



Practiced using that paint sprayer on an antique dresser someone was throwing out because it was missing a drawer.

The practice dresser


Butterfly artwork


Created a playroom


Turned an old barn door...

and an ugly table...

into a versatile potting table


Outdoor family room


The dining room got a makeover and a photo wall


Painted a wall in our kitchen with chalkboard paint

It was fun looking back at some of these old posts, especially the summer pictures!

    Cheers~

    What a great look back at all you accomplished! I love all of it! I am VERY seriously thinking of painting a whole wall in the pink bungalow chalkboard paint. Love the look of it!
    have a pretty day!

    What a fantastic re-cap on the past twelve months. When you see all the evidence in pictures with what you've achieved, you look like a superwoman. You should be very pleased with yourself, as you've completed so many wonderful and creative, beautiful projects. Look forward to seeing what you do in 2011. Wishing you a happy new year and all the best. Sonia

    I like how you have a practice dresser. I guess I can't blame you because if you mess up on the dresser you really like your going to feel bad.
