Well, we are back home after a nice little Christmas break and seeing how I am still busy getting the house back in order I figured I’d do a wrap up of some of our posts from 2014. (You can click on any of the links or photos to bring you to the actual posts which will contain all of the details).
In January we made more progress in our downstairs and upstairs hallways:
In February we finally started working on the first wall in our master bedroom.
And then we teamed up with Ballard Design to make over our guest bedroom:
March was a slow month but we first found this recipe which we now make several times each month:
In April we shared images from my niece Everly’s first birthday party:
and we added some lights to our porch:
In May we did two of my favorite changes to our home. First we added marble and a farmhouse sink to our kitchen:
And then we made over the room above the garage to be a very pink playroom:
Then in June we finished up Jason’s kitchen and dining room:
and then we did a recap post showing the progress we made this first year in our house:
In July we shared some summer touches to our Den:
And then one of our most read posts of the year, our review of most of the IKEA items we have bought over the years:
Then in August we shared our parent’s living room:
Then we added some finishing touches to the girls’ New England room:
and then some before and after’s of Jason’s living room:
In September we built a rolling cart for our dining room:
And we also built a dining room table:
And then we shared some before and after’s of our upstairs hall bathroom:
In October we shared Jason’s house tour with lots of before and afters:
and also our hot cocoa station:
In November we shared a little tutorial for making your own wooden tree advent calendar:
And in December we shared our 2014 Christmas Tour:
And some Christmas touches to our guest room:
And the last of our Christmas decorating:
And that’s it for 2014! I’ll probably be catching up on a bunch of things for the next week or so but then hope to start in with some new posts!
Don’t forget you can visit any of the posts for detailed source info or we also have a link here to a list of sources for each room.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
I never tire of looking at your home. Love your calm clean style.
Gorgeous!!!!
Adorable!
Bonne année 2015
Everything is beautiful…you have a real gift for renovation, re-purpose, design and decoration. The IKEA review was fabulous to read…very informative…makes me re-think IKEA.
thanks for doing a "year in review" post, Jennifer! I had missed some of those so it was great to get to go back and see them…did a lot of "pinning'!
Beautiful !!!!! Marki
I am so inspired by all of your accomplishments! Your home (and your family's homes) are just beautiful! I can't even imagine what you have in store for 2015 but I can't wait to follow along! Cheers! – Shelley

I'm a new follower and have really enjoyed your before and after photos. Such a lovely home you have. Happy 2015
Excellent post! You have done such an amazing job transforming your home. Lovely! Regarding Jason's dining room ceiling … Did you all install a wood ceiling? If so … Is there a post with details? How wide are the planks? I am considering installing wood to all of my ceilings.
Thanks! His dining room ceiling was that way when he moved in (I believe it used to be a porch many years ago). I'm not sure how wide the boards are, but I would guess between 3"-4".
Your home is beautiful!
Happy 2015!
Liebe Grüße

Thank you Jennifer for the last two years of inspiration! You are amazing! The lord has truly blessed you with a talent! The talent is simply creating out of love!!! I know that every little detail in each space has a loving thought behind it! I have been most inspired by your passion for your family!!!!

Jenni, what made you go from white walls to grey walls (townhouse vs this new house)?
Also, I'm trying to redo my master bedroom and can't decide if I like the dark grey walls like you hd in your town home, or lighter ones like you have in this new home? What made you go lighter in your master? Is it easier to decorate?
Thanks!
Hi! Our new house gets very little natural light and the ceilings are lower, so I hoped the lighter colors would help make it feel less dark and dreary and help makes things look a bit more airy. Now that the house has been mostly made over I'm actually adding a few more dark colors in. I'll be painting our dining room Kendall Charcoal next week actually!
Fabulous job! Wow! The make over of my dreams! I have really enjoyed reading your posts.
Will be coming back again. Thank you!
Hugs Marg.
