One-Year Anniversary »

This week marks the one-year anniversary for the Idea Attic. And what a year it has been. Personally, I have moved into a new condo, re-ignited my love for sewing and decorating, taken on some fun and new clients (dentist website and tattoo shop website currently in que), met some new people, traveled to Florida, Vegas, and Arizona, started playing tennis and kickball, and having a lot of fun with my husband. We really had a great year and are starting to make goals for 2009.

Here were the most popular posts for the Idea Attic in 2008:

When To Go Neutral - Shannon’s new house and inspiration board

Meet Shelley’s Dining Room - Shelley’s new pumpkin dining room inspiration board (after pictures coming soon…)

Spring Kitchens - Great colorful kitchens and how to mimic them

Teaching an Old Dresser New Tricks - The repurposing of a vintage dresser

Weekend Office Makeover - The reveal of my “croffice” (craft room + office)

THANK YOU for reading and keep the comments coming! I am a firm believer in change, and I would love any suggestions as to what you’d like to see on the Idea Attic.

New Blogspot Template »

In an effort to share more of the graphic design side of projects I have been working on, I am going to be showing more of my freelance and marketing work.

Last night I updated my friend Shannon’s blog. The objectives: hip, fun, chic, greens, blacks, and trendy. Shannon loves fashion, interior design, and it would definitely be hard to capture her in one word. I do my best, however, to capture her in a template!
