Top Ten Posts for 2013 From Old Things New Blog

December 31, 2013 by Patti 20 Comments

So, these aren’t necessarily my “most visited” posts.  I’ve looked through and chosen the posts that received the most comments and also, in the tradition of Old Things New, the posts where I actually re-purposed or restored something old into something new. 

So here are my Top Ten Posts for 2013:

#10 Braided Cuff Tutorial

#9 Vintage Jewelry Bookmarks

#8 Three Tiered Succulents

5-Slipcover redo for little bench 017#7 A Dropcloth Slipcover for an Old Bench

#6 Guest Cottage Before and After

#5 A Frenchy Bed Makeover

#4 DIY Junky Chicken Wire Cloche

#3 Turquoise Bedside Table

#2 Rosette Wreath Tutorial

And finally, my most popular post of 2013 . . .

#1 Vintage Dresser and Mirror Update

If you’d like to see more pictures or tutorials of any of these posts you can click on the title for the link to the post.  It has been a busy and wonderful year of blogging in 2013 and I’m looking forward to new things ahead for 2014. 

    Blessings to you all in the year to come,

My Signature

    Your work is beautiful Patti. My favorite is the little footstool. Drop cloth is my go to fabric for upholstery & I also like to add graphics to it. Happy New Year! Dee from My Painted Stuff.

    I don’t know which is my favorite. Either the succulent stand or the chicken wire cloche. Everything is lovely and smart. You have great creative taste.
