Two Year Anniversary

Two years ago today I moved into my house! I can’t believe it’s already been two years! To celebrate let’s look back on my second year of being a homeowner:

(You can see my year one recap here)

I painted two rooms, one linen cabinet, and my front door:

Pantry

Craft Room

Linen Cabinet

Front Door

I painted a couple pieces of furniture for the entry/living room area:

Hall/Entry Tree

Console Table

I finally spent some of that money I’ve been saving up and splurged on:

Extending the patio in the backyard

Patio furniture from Craigslist

Solar Screens

New IKEA entertainment center

I finished a few projects that have been on my to-do list for-ev-er:

Hung curtains in the living room

Installed a doggie door

Cleaned up the front porch

Hung artwork in the dining room

Headboard for the master bedroom

I worked on a few small projects and did a little crafting:

Mason jar soap dispenser

Mini pallet sign

DIY Instagram magnets

And finally I started (and almost finished) my kitchen makeover:

Installed cabinet hardware

Bought matching appliances

“Sewed” faux roman shades

Painted an herb garden

Re-potted some plants

Bought a new rug (it’s yellow!)

Updated my weekly menu board

Whew! That’s quite a list! Oh, and I can’t forget we took a trip to New Orleans in the spring and Disneyland in the fall!

But I still have to say, the best part has been sharing the house with my boyfriend and these 2:

I had a great second year as a homeowner and I can’t wait to see what I can accomplish over the next year. Here’s to another year full of more painting, more sewing, more projects, and more Ringo and Abby memories!
