You really outdid yourself this year, Martina! As a newish follower, I didn't get a chance to see everything until now. You are a whiz with the paintbrush! Everything looks wonderful!
Here's to more great projects in 2012!
XO,

Everything looks wonderful! I love how much charm and character the new trim added in your dining room!
your creative talent ought to be purchased by one of the High End decor stores. I can hear the phone ringing and Ballard or Front Gate begging you to come there and be their most special consultant.. I'll be your first customer:)
cut me a break though cause spending money effects my blood pressure in a bad way.. giggle
Wow, you accomplished so much. Everything is wonderful. All of your paint projects are stunning. Love the wainscoting also. Hugs, Marty

Love your island and the corner cabinet!
Some of these I haven't seen before. I really love what you did with your daughters bathroom! That looks so fresh and pretty. I'm thinking about adding beadboard to my guest bathroom some time this year too. I also really love the change with the new french chair and cabinet above it.
So many fabulous project completed, Martina. All done to perfection. You can look back on 2011 with pride! Hope you'll share these beauties with us at "What's It Wednesday", we'd love to have you.

What fabulous projects you crossed off of your list this past year, Martina! I love ALL of them, BUT, if I had to pick a fave, it would have to be your kitchen island makeover! Great job, and I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for 2012!
These are wonderful Martina! If I just HAD to choose my favorites are your dining room redo and your kitchen island! Thanx for coming to the party!
Great redos Martina, Ive enjoyed your blog this year. looking forward to more in 2012. Happy New Year!
These look great!
You had some amazing makeover projects, but my favorite is the kitchen island. What a difference it made in your kitchen!
My favorite trans is the dining room. The addition of the wainscoting and making the walls a more subtle color really lifted the room and gave it great sophistication, sparked by the plaid draperies. I also like the change in the kitchen island -- anchoring.
Hope you'll come by and see our orange ceiling.
Happy New Year! Jane

As see you over at the "Before & After" party -- how genius is that concept -- and was hoping you could also join our month-long "Imagine the Impossibilities" challenge. You can find more about it here ...
