January Project Round-Up

Well hello February! And hello dear readers!

Last night, I was looking back at my January posts and noticed that I did a lot of projects this month. Hooray for accomplishing things! So today, I figured I'd do a nice little project round-up so that you can easily go back and take a look at anything you may have missed. Let's begin, shall we?

I started off the new year with a wood wreath I made with my father-in-law and sister-in-law. I had a blast using power tools to create this guy.

Operation {Re}Organization commenced in our house, starting with the office "nook." If I'm as successful at hitting all the other problem areas as I was with the office, I'll be pretty happy! Now the key is to keep the motivation going...

The first project involved our office supplies. What used to live in about eight different containers all over our house now lives in three, and because of that we now have several empty drawers and boxes. Consolidation, baby. I'm so into that. Can't wait to utilize some of those storage containers for other projects.

Our gallery wall got some special attention this month. I made a little art for it in the form of this (free!) art print...

...and this ampersand. They make me smile every time I see them.

Some old frames got a new home on the gallery wall once painted white.

I finally got fed up with the disaster that was our junk drawer, and gave it a good clean-out and organized it.

The major project this month was finally finishing our desk for the office nook. I am so, so happy with the results.

After the desk reveal, I showed you how I made the top since it's a bit out of the box - it's upholstered! Yes, upholstered. I'm glad I took a chance on that because I think it turned out great.

For the final office project of the month, I corralled and filed our important papers. To add a little "pretty" to this rather mundane area, I used a happy green file box and made some washi tape labels. Gold polka dots? Yes please.

And that'll wrap up my January projects. Can't wait to see what February brings.

Hope y'all have a great weekend!
