Happy Second Anniversary, Odi et Amo!
{If I could give you each a Sprinkles cupcake, I would!}
Today marks the completion of my second year as a blogger. 2010 was definitely an exciting time for this little blog as I saw my readership quadruple over the course of the year and my focus -- and my voice -- shift slowly towards the more personal (but I suppose pregnancy will do that to you).
Last year at this time, I featured a roundup of my favorite posts, all of which focused on interior design. This year, I thought I'd celebrate with a roundup my own design projects that I've documented here on the blog over the past twelve months (as well as previews for what's to come in 2011!):
February 2010
March 2010
March 2010
July 2010
December 2010
I can honestly say that without the encouragement of my readers -- and the pressure of getting things done so I could have some blog content -- I would not have been nearly as productive in my mission of turning my new, somewhat cold, house into a home as I was (even if I didn't get it all done). While I doubt any home is ever truly "done" (and goodness, how boring would that be?!), I do feel our home reflects us and our tastes so much more than it did a year ago. Many thanks to you all for your continued support, kind words and generous spirits. I look forward to a third year of blogging, this time with baby in tow!
Gratias vobis ago!

Happy Anniversary, Averill!!! Just realized you posted nursery progress - it looks amazing so far!!! Loove the crib skirt you made...I'm a bit jealous, it looks so much better than the one I have from PB!
