Saturday Seven {2011 Favorites}

December 31, 2011 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

There are some projects with a true wow factor that stop me in my tracks during my jaunts through the blogging community. As we ring in 2012, I thought it would be fun to share seven of the finds I made in 2011 (in no particular order) that I found the most innovative and inspiring!
Kudos to all of the lovely ladies who are the creative force behind these phenomenal creations. I count myself blessed to blog in the company of such inspiring individuals!

one. Work Shirt to School Dress @ Girl. Inspired.

Without a doubt, the best clothing refashion I’ve ever seen! Stef is such an inspiration when it comes to creating timeless garments for little girls.


two. Backlit Bookcase @ Pretty Handy Girl

The ever-talented Brittany took a castoff Borders bookcase and turned it into this fabulous creation. Brilliant!
three. Barn Door Headboard @ Home Stories A to Z
This entire master bedroom update is stunning, and that headboard is to die for. Beth hit this one out of the park!
four. Fall Felt Flower Wreath @ Nest of Posies
And the award for the best use of color I’ve seen all year goes to….Kellie! I love – no, I adore – this wreath!
five. Flatware Starburst Mirror @ Flamingo Toes
Sweet Bev crafted this beauty for her dining room. Absolutely phenomenal!
six. Headboard Bench @ Scissors & Spatulas
The backbone of this bench is Jen’s husband’s childhood bed. How sweet is that? 
seven. Scrap Map @ See Kate Sew
The best use of scraps I’ve ever laid eyes on! Kate, will you make one for me? 🙂
So, did any of your favorites from 2011 make this list?
***
Make plans to stop by for tonight’s Saturday 7 party to show off your own favorite projects from the past year, or simply what you’ve been working on this week! Things will kick off at 7 Central, so you can link up before you get gussied up to ring in the new year. 🙂
