2014 Mid-Year Review

This Tuesday marked the start of the second half of this year.  Can you believe that 2014 is already half over?  I always welcome July since it's my birthday month, but also because it provides a great point for mid-year reflections. 

It's so very easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of getting things done, that you rarely have time to look back at all the progress that's being made.  Particularly when you're on a journey like the one I'm on, it's important to celebrate your accomplishments, big and small.

So let's take a look...

I began the year with the reveal of a living room project I finished up just in time for Christmas.  (Read More HERE.)

 

 

Shortly thereafter, I was awarded Best of Houzz in Design and Service for the second year in a row!(Read More HERE.)

 

 

I hosted an awesome event in conjunction with our local Habitat ReStore conglomerate, where I shared some of my tricks of the trade for finding thrifty deals.  (Read More HERE.)

 

 

For the second year in a row, I mingled with interior design greats at the Design Blogger's Conference in Atlanta, GA. (Read More HERE.)

I designed a lush master that included an amazing sofa transformation and that is probably my favorite project to date. (Read More HERE.)

 

I got an "A" in my hardest interior design class yet, Residential Architecture. Yay! 

 

I scored an amazing deal on a lamp that a very popular website deemed very valuable. (Read More HERE.)

 

 

And just this weekend, I teamed up with Babies R Us to share tips on creating a dream nursery. (Read More HERE.)

 

 

God is so good.... PERIOD!

 

I can hardly wait to see what the second half holds.  Have a wonderful Forth of July weekend!!!
