Top 10 Projects of 2011

2011 Has been a great year at Superfluous! Moving into a new house always brings plenty of projects to work on... and work on... and... And then there was the invention of Pinterest, where I was and continually am inspired to create. So I wanted to highlight the Top 10 Superfluous Projects of 2011.




While working on E's nursery I took a boring ol' lampshade and made a fabric cover. It was a super easy project and I loved how it turned out! 





I found a really ugly chair at the Goodwill.  I spray painted it white and put a chevron cover on the seat. 
Amazing transformation! 



Canvas, Stencil and Scrapbook paper made a really fun and inspirational word art project.




Thanks to Pinterest, I got the idea to make a Halloween wreath! Spooky! 



I love Anthropologie, but I don't love their prices. I saw a mirror I really liked, but decided to DIY my own. 




Around the house I worked on a few little projects...

Chalkboard makeover and Everett Banner! 

Entryway photo collage and fresh coat of paint.

New Curtains and pictures.


I love collecting glitter houses, but they can be rather spendy. So I decided to make my own! I found the houses at Hobby Lobby and I had fun decorating them! 





This by far was one of my favorite projects I've made this year! Clothespins, scrapbook paper, glitter and decorative washi tape was all I needed to make this awesome project. 





First Christmas at our new house and I had fun decorating and making look festive and fun! 





On May 8, 2011 I gave birth to Everett Timothy! By far my FAVORITE thing I've ever created. (with help from my husband of course!)  Everyday is a delight to stay home with this little guy!! Oh how we love him! 





2011 was a great year for projects! But I have a feeling that 2012 will bring many more DIY projects, home improvements and crafts! (although I can't guarantee there will be another baby. ;)

Happy New Year!
