10 of My Favorite Projects of 2017

When you’re in the middle of it, it can be easy to take for granted everything that you do in a year. Going through my projects from 2017 made me appreciate that I made some cool stuff in the last year, though! In no particular order, here are my ten favorite projects of 2017.

Brass monstera leaf earringsΒ – I still love these statement earrings, and wear them regularly.

Suitcase record playerΒ – We’ve really enjoyed collecting and playing records on this suitcase record player. After our cats jumped on it a few times while it was playing a record (eek!), I did have to modify it slightly to make it so the top can close while it’s on, though.

Reversible marble and wood serving board – I use this all the time, most recently for serving these peppermint brownies at a party.

Closet makeover – Practically every day I think about how glad I am that I gave my closet this makeover. Even though it was a lot of work, it’s so much better to use that it was totally worth it.

Catio – I’m still excited to see whether my cats become outdoor addicts in the spring when they get to go out in the enclosure I built them.
