Goodbye 2018 and Looking Ahead to New Projects
And so it begins. Back to routines, back to work. Did you enjoy wonderful
holidays? I hope the last few weeks have been restful and restorative. I was
able to spend lots of time with my family and just enjoy being at home and
mostly stayed off of social media. It was wonderful.
I didn't get to write this post before the year's end but I thought it would be nice to reshare some of the things we did in 2018 - and fill you in on what we have planned for the year ahead! Truth be told, 2018 wasn't a great year but I am exceptionally excited for 2019!
SPRING
We started the year working on #ProjectCraftsDept. It was an empty shell of a room, and we started with vintage-coastal inspiration and installed the flooring. And finally, we finished off this room:
Later on in the spring, I shared a room I rarely showed on the blog, our kitchen
Soon after, we started tackling another unsightly room,
the master bedroom, as one of the featured designers of the One Room Challenge. We
figured out the layout, added in
furnishings
and took the room from blue and awkward...
SUMMER
Summer was all about adding final touches to some of our favourite spaces. The
prettiest fabrics
brought charm to our country cottage...
I gave our cottage bedroom a refresh
and we finally got rid of the eyesore in front of our house and
rebuilt our fence!
FALL
Crisp fall days brought exercises in decorating
and the debut of my first product collection, the
Rambling Renovators x Tonic Living collaboration!
WINTER
We ended the year with a reveal of
a new floral dining room, a new
stair railing, and a
bright white one-day paint transformation.
It was a wonderful second year in this house and we made great strides in
making this home more our own. So what's planned for 2019?? We'll be tackling
at least these three spaces:
The powder room
Chloe's bedroom
The basement
and likely more. If you
follow me on Instagram, you'll know that we've finished one of these rooms already! I'll share it
here on the blog soon. I hope you'll continue to join me over the next year as
we take on more renovating and DIY adventures.
Wishing you a wonderful 2019!
