Hi friends...I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did...we are still hosting Christmas visits with family! I love this time of year!!
I put together a little review of all the projects that went on over here at Northern Nesting this past year...let's take a look.
I started the year off with a room makeover for my oldest daughter Mackenzie...not only were the walls painted a new color, but all her furniture was updated with paint too!
BEFORE...
AFTER...using AS chalk paint in pure white.
The mirror was also done in pure white.
Next up was her armoire...I painted this before my blogging days and before I knew about chalk paint!
BEFORE...
AFTER... again using AS chalk paint in graphite.
Back in March my bedroom was featured in Romantic Homes magazine...talk about being THRILLED!!
In May we adopted our new pup Neena...she is such a sweetie! Our home wouldn't feel complete without a dog!
A little makeover that I still love looking at is this little footstool.
BEFORE...
AFTER...adding a little cheetah print.
Another makeover was this chair my mom picked up for me at an estate sale...I used Miss Mustard Seeds milk paint on this piece in Ironstone...I even added a wooden applique to dress it up a bit.
It's home for now is in our dining room.
Next up is the new chandelier in our dining room... the hubby bought it for me for my birthday...LOVE IT! I painted the medallion to match it.
My living room was something that I worked on for months...adding pieces that I absolutely love to give the room a casual, collected over time look.
Pieces like this wicker trunk that I'm using as my coffee table...
and the new pillows made by Ann On Sutton Place Designs...love them!!
The purchase of this wool rug has to be my favorite!
Another room makeover I did this past fall was in my son Will's room...taking it from a young boys room to a pre-teen room.
BEFORE...
AFTER...we added a beadboard accent wall...new paint color on the walls...and new bedding.
Last but not least I freshened up our powder room with paint and framed these new botanicals for the walls.
Well that's it for my quick 2013 year in review...looking forward to another productive year:)
Thank you for always popping in to see me and always leaving me the sweetest comments...they truly make my day! Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Hi Martina, beautiful year in review and great projects you accomplished.

Martina what wonderful changes you have made this year to your beautiful home! I'd love your before pics and then just oooh and ahh over the after! And congrats on the well deserved feature in Romantic Homes. Dang it...I don't know how I missed that because I would have grabbed a copy to keep. I always purchase a copy of any magazine a bloggy friend is featured. Just love your sweet new puppy too, a house is just not a home without a doggie!
Wishing you and yours a very Happy and Healthy New Year my friend!!
