Do you know that I adore you? I do! I am so thankful that you take the time to read and comment on this little blog o’ mine. You encourage me. You spur me on to new things. You are my impetus to keep going when things become a bit rough. I am SO thankful for you and as I write this post I’m praying that God will shower you with rich, rich blessings in 2015 . . . and I know that He wants to . . . because He adores you too!
So here are my Top Ten Posts of 2014 in order from oldest to newest:
Happiness in a Vintage Strawberry Crate
I think you must have been as smitten as I am with my vintage strawberry crate because it was one of your favorites not once, but twice! Here it is again in,
A Junky, Mossy, Lacy Easter Centerpiece
The post with the most views was the kitchen in our lake house. It was Part 1 in a 4 part series,
A Budget Kitchen Makeover With Sparkle!
Part 2 in the series was also a winner!
Adding Substance to a Boxy Kitchen Island
Next is a furniture makeover of the kitchen table we had in our lake house and my sad farewell, Shabby Kitchen Table . . . You’ve Stolen my Heart!
Though there are many methods for creating velvet pumpkins I shared my best tips learned through trial and error in, Favorite Tips for Creating Gorgeous Velvet Pumpkins!
The next post was our Elegant Thrift Store Chandy which Mr. OTN and I transformed together with new wiring, spray paint, magnetic chandy crystals and new lamp shades. You wouldn’t believe how she looked before the transformation!
Next is the room in our new home that cemented our final decision to buy. We have a lot more ideas in store for this room as you’ll see from the post, Welcome to my Favorite Room – The Screened Porch
Another furniture transformation that turned out to be one of my all time favorites, and which Miss Mustard Seed chose as her “last favorite of 2014” (WooHoo!) is A Color Wash in Layered Greys
Finally, most of you know that we made the long trek from Washington State to South Carolina a few months ago and are still settling into our new home. Here I shared A Christmas Tour of Our New Home. If you haven’t been inside yet, Welcome!
I’m so happy that you’ve come along with Mr. OTN and myself during this year of great transition and I hope you’ll continue the journey to see what’s in store for 2015. We never know what the future holds but I like this message, posted by a friend on Facebook:

Love all your top posts! My favorite was the budget kitchen makeover! Miss you!
Patti, know what I like best about your blog? YOU! it’s like hearing from an old friend….and being inspirationally encouraged to continue the journey, along with beautiful pictures and honest emotions. Thanks for all you do.
Here’s to another great year for you! Happy New Year, Patti
You can make anything beautiful! Love how you beefed up the center island and the chandelier transformation is fantastic! XO
Patti, I really enjoyed this look back! I remember so many of them. You always do such an amazing job of repurposing and decorating. Love your style! I just finished getting my top ten ready to share tomorrow. Fun looking back!!
Happy New Year!

Patti, what a lovely trip through your year. My favorites are your screened porch and the colored wash sideboard, but every one you presented is stunning. I saw your link at Elizabeth & Co party. Happy New Year!
Patti,
Has it truly been a year since I found you at OTN, dear friend???
The post on the vintage Strawberry Crate is when I came across your blog.
Then, I perused your About Me. . .and the rest is history. . .as they say.
In my heart, I know it was a ‘God Thing’, and I have been continually blessed by your blog friendship!!!
Looking forward to seeing your new home evolve in 2015!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Fondly,
Pat
