2011 in review

Good morning sunshine!  I started this blog just about a year ago.  I am beyond thankful for all the people I've met, design inspiration and readers.  I swoon every time I hear from a reader, whether its a comment, email or on FB.  It started out as more of a diary or place to file inspiration, and has evolved into something I really enjoy doing, when I have the time that it!  Hopefully in the new year, time won't be an issue....{who am I kidding, right?}

This year has been huge for our little family, with many exciting milestones for us {an engagement} and our kiddos {Kage learning to walk, Liv and Maddie in gymnastics, and Andre starting tackle football}.  Not to mention some fun crafts and home projects.

In honor of my BBFF, Ange at The Blooming Hydrangea.....I thought I'd share a few of my favorite projects:


Our gray kitchen cabinets {here and here}


Awful photo, I know....I promise I will do a full reveal one day....was hoping to have white subway tile and new counter tops first though.  When I did those posts I was a new blogger, and to be honest, had no idea how to do anything, including photos.





I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I feel like it was the first room I've done from start to finish and felt complete.  Sure there are things here and there I juxtaposition every now and then.  Even with the older kiddos, there was always a list....yikes!  Note to self, get it together and wrap these projects up.




I know, I know, stripes are pretty popular these days....but I still love mine.  I plan on adding a to this gallery wall this year...and have already thrifted/ordered some items.



I still pinch myself over this one.  How.  Did.  I.  Get.  So.  Lucky?




Who am I kidding, I love the progress in the master, the settee we scored, and my provincial dressing table.


I must say, compared to previous years, I see improvement in myself and the projects we've tackled.  Everything is a learning process, and we are enjoying every minute of it {and laughing at ourselves along the way}.  What can you expect from White Lacquer in 2012, you ask?  A fabulous DIY wedding!!!!  More room reveals, a fun February link party, organization tips {as I undertake our home and ensure everything has a place}, things I wants {my fav}, much more, and lets not forget, family photos!!! {unless you're not into that, let me know, and I'll stop :)}

Thank you Ange for hosting!!!

So excited for this new year!!!!




xo,



Patience
