Bring it on 2012!

I have never been a fan of New Year's Resolutions.  If we are all being honest... we could all stand to lose a few pounds, be more organized, get more sleep... I've decided that this year I will start my year off with goals.  That way I can work my way through them throughout the year instead of paying for a gym membership I'll never use.  Plus, the more readers I get, the more responsibility I have to get the list completed :)  So feel free to stay on me!

Learn how to use my Christmas present... a refurbished 1941 Singer Sewing Machine.  I haven't sewn since my Home Economics class in the Seventh Grade.  Mrs. House (yes, I know the irony) did give me an A for my blue jean pillow so I figure I'll pick it back up like no time has past (HA!).  We'll see.

Chloe's Big Girl Room.  I have done a post on my ideas for this in the past. { post here }  I have had a few changes in the plan & have already started a project using old soda bottles, scissors & a hair dryer... Peaked your interest yet?  Here is a hint...

Operation: Revamp Kitchen.  My largest goal for 2012 is to overhaul our kitchen (for next to nothing).  I have BIG plans for this one already... & I think they are going to work.  These are some of the inspiration shots I'm currently drooling over right now.

I am positive there will be many other projects throughout 2012.  Who are we kidding?  Would I really turn down the opportunity to give a piece of furniture a makeover & share it with all of you?  I don't think so!  But these are my top three To Do's for the year.  

Here's to a great 2012!!!  & as always, thanks for going on the hunt with me.

Cheers- K
