Top Projects of 2014 So Far…

As we close out the first half of 2014 I thought it would be fun to look back at the top projects from the past 6 months. But first, can we just take a moment and someone tell me HOW it is the end of June already? I mean if it wasn’t warm outside you could have fooled me into thinking it was February.

2014 has been my year of FINISH and so far so good. I’ve complete quite of few huge projects this year and I’m on track for a productive second half. In fact, some pretty big things are happening with DDD behind the scenes and  I can’t wait to share them with all of you. Seriously, my head is about to explode with how much is going on but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Eeek!

Ok so are we ready? Here are The Top 14 Projects Of 2014 So Far…

* Calculated according to pageviews in Google Analytics and includes only DDD Projects completed in 2014.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!

Perfect travel outfits, you still feel cute but very easy fabrics.
