A Year in Review

This was our launch year of our blog and our design business. We had alot of fun working together and building our skills, redesigning our homes, doing eBoards and working with clients.  Here is a recap of our year.

The first thing we DIY'ed in January 2012 was Bethany's bathroom ceiling, which was the start of her "zhushing turned year-long bathroom remodel". We created our own stencil inspired by the O&L wallpaper "Best in Show".

Then Nancy took on her first sofa reupholster here:


In February we stenciled Bethany's hallway here:


A highlight in March was antiquing with Eddie Ross here:


We made a headboard for Nancy's master bedroom to go along with her dropcloth curtains. (So far we are realizing how bad our picture taking skills are!)


In March we also started working with clients doing design boards like these:


In April, Nancy participated in the Spring Into Action Challenge and did a breakfast room makeover involving recovering the chairs, adding the custom drapes, a kitchen valance and new chandelier.


After numerous long hours of work we delivered our first Design in a Box shown here. The client is doing the makeovers on her own and following the plan!

We are constantly DIY'ing planter boxes, over-dying rugs, painting trays, zhushing, tweaking, and otherwise obsessing with our homes.

Bethany participated in the One Room Challenge and did a master bedroom makeover.


Bethany and her husband finally finished their guest bathroom reno in October, complete with new pedestal sink, tub, tile shower, tile flower and toilet!


We did an ombre paint treatment on stairs for several clients. The Yoga Studio we designed was the most fun of all.



Bethany's home was finalized for our photo shoot for our upcoming website:



We were so fortunate to have such a successful first year in business and in blogging.  We want to thank you, our readers and new friends, for supporting us along the way and breathing creativity into the air. Without which, we would never have been able to take on 8 new clients this year and launch what we hope to be a great new chapter in our lives!  Thank you.  From the bottom of our hearts.

Nancy and Bethany
