What a great party! Head over and check it out!!! Mr. DIY can’t believe we completed so many projects in 2009. Neither can I! We really enjoy seeing the transformation. Having a really bad “before” space helps “after” look amazing too. 😉

My favorite is the outside barn patio re-do. I love outside spaces.
You've been working long and hard on you bathroom. Well it certainly paid off!!
Happy Holidays!
Wow! I'm "newer" to your blog..and I loved seeing all your before and after pictures! Impressive!
I really liked the bedroom. My most favorite though I'd have to say is the patio areas. So fabulous!
WOW! You win! I dont know what you win… but you do. It all looks UMMM-AZZZ-ING! =) LOVE the new bathroom. TO die for. And the doxie adds 10 points.
Wow, you have accomplished so much in a short time. You did an amazing job on everything too. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!
Wow! Wonderful before and afters Roeshel….loved every single one!
Yep, those were awesome transformations. I remember most of them and LOVED seeing them again. Makes you feel so productive, I am sure, seeing them again. Have a wonderful day and if I get too busy to blog, Merry Christmas!!
You completely ROCK! We remodeled an old house too, then moved to a builder's-basic home. I miss the character. Our next home will be another old home or one we design. I might call you. 😉
So many projects that are truly amazing. You must be a hard worker!
Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing.

I'm tired just looking at all these pictures! You've really made some wonderful transformations this year.
Your main floor bath is simply amazing. You certaintly have been busy this past year. I look forward to a new year full of more projects…no pressure…he! he! I'm going to be annoying as ask a sourcing question. Where did you get the light fixture in the main floor bath?
Wow – I can't believe how much you accomplished in one year. I especially love the barn porch and latest bathroom reno.
It all looks wonderful. My favorite change is with the French doors and how it makes the back of the house looks. I do have a question. I love you new bar light over the sink in your main bath. Could you tell me where you found that? Thanks, Vicki
Thanks everyone! 🙂 I wonder what 2010 will bring? lol
For the questions about the main floor lighting, I emailed you. I got the lighting from LightingDirect.com.
Here's the link:

They had the best prices for school house style lighting that I could find.
Happy Holiday! 2 DAYS! Yikes! Back to elfing!
Roeshel
You did an amazing job. Love the French door and your back entryway looks stunning. You can sit back now and enjoy!
Have a very Merry Christmas, Roeshel!
I love your house!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ROESHEL!

WOW!!! It all looks fantastic. I've been there done that; lived in a house built in 1864 once with 12ft ceilings. They are BEUTIFUL! Wish I still had the house, just not the town it was in!
Thanks for sharing!

WOW, Roeshel, you really did take on a LOT Of projects last year. ANd they are all just awesome. I've missed a few, like your back patio & that barn transformation. It is stunning, Country Living needs to photograph that. Love your bathrooms and the etched mirror & really…all of it. Great job! THanks for joining the party, it's been great to meet you this past year. Here's to lots more in 2010.
I think your blog name was never more appropriate than with this post. What great projects. You sure are a black belt in DIY!
WOW…i seriously love your bathroom remodel…so cute!
You had so many wonderful projects this year. Thanks for always inspiring us.
I remember reading most of those posts the first time, and I love ALL of your projects. I'm such a big fan! Congratulations on such a productive 2009, and I can't wait to see what you come up with in 2010. 😉

Awesome to see all your great home reno work in one post!!
Maybe I'll post some of mine too…, it just doesn't quite seem to fit on my Coastal blog.
Oh my, Roeshel! You did all this in just one year? I am in love with that blue you used in the first bathroom pictured.
Oh me, oh my! I l-o-v-e that bathroom light fixture and I'm off to check out your faucet painting tutorial. Hope you had a great 1st!
