My Favorite DIYs of 2015

Let's recap 2015.
Bill and I are slowing down in the DIY department because over the course of the last four years we have touched almost every surface of this home.
 We were able to do a few fun things to the house, however.
 Here are my favorite projects of the year.

The exterior shutters had been on the list for years. 
They were worth the wait because Bill did such a good job. 
They are so stinking cute.


They have transformed the exterior of our home into a home of my dreams.


 The Tub and Tile Transformation Kit that I used on the downstairs powder bath was a winner.


 I love walking in and seeing the sparkling white tile. 


This was less than $100.00. 
Why didn't I do it years ago?


 Separating the love seat and sofa was one of my better ideas.
The World Market chair went from modern to farmhouse with a slip cover.


 I no longer feel that the living room seating arrangement is awkward and I'm enjoying the more comfortable loveseat in the garden room.


I may slipcover one of these so that no one notices that these were a set.

The headboard that I made out of the crib side rail is 
one of my all time favorite projects. 



 Bill didn't have to help so I learned some new skills in the process. 




I love making up this bed for different seasons. 

The laundry room board and batten wall was fun. 
The room bathed in white paint makes it feel so fresh and clean.
This was one of the few remaining rooms that still had popcorn. 
There is only one room left and some closets.



So what is next for Let's Add Sprinkles?
We've cleaned out our closets and all unworn clothing has been purged. 
Before they get filled again, I'm going to scrape the popcorn off of those ceilings. 
Mine may be reconfigured.
I'm so short that I've never been able to reach the top rung of clothing.  
What is new in your neck of the woods?
Thanks for stopping in.
