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)










Bought a paint sprayer



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





Created a playroom


Turned an old barn door...

and an ugly table...

into a versatile potting table




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!

  34. 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.
