Simply Vintageous revisited

Good ( halfway through the day ) Morning everyone!!!!!
For me?

It's the most laziest day of the year
With my hair a big mess
and with sauce on my dress
I had too much cheer
But now it's the laz - laziest time of the year...........................

John's napping - the house is quiet - somewhat clean - and the whirlwind is over -
I stumbled out of bed at 10.30 this morning in a panic - It's Wednesday - time for
house hunting - and then I thought -NO - no one wants to house hunt today anyway, right?

So instead  I'm going to bore you with my top viewed posts of 2012 - because it's the most
laziest day of the year - which really does mean I'm too lazy to come up with an original post.
Hoping some of you are new enough that these posts will be fresh for you - and for those of you that
have been following for awhile I'm hoping you're feeling too lazy today to care!
( that's a lot of lazy for one post - how many?  don't know - too lazy to go back and check )

These makeovers had almost 10,000 hits

Before


After


If you missed the post - you can read it HERE

And then there was my bedroom dresser - the post can be found HERE



My Armoire seemed to be a big hit too :)  I still cringe when I look at the before on this one



what a difference a day makes - 24 little hours..................you can read about this transformation
HERE

And the top John says - Suzan says

Using branches for decorating - our conversation
Using tissue pom - poms for decorating - our conversaton
Supercalifragilisticispialidocious - our conversation
Forever Young - our conversation
Baby it's cold outside - our conversation
Stencilling a butcher block -  our conversation

My Menopause post seemed to get a lot of hits - you can read it HERE
And my ARTIST post you can read it here

And that's all I'm going to bore you with today -
Hoping you all had a beautiful Christmas - and that you're feeling LAZY today - and that you're actually ABLE to BE lazy today - you all deserve it
Much love
Many kisses
Tight hugs
( and I'm off to join John for a nap - I've been up a couple of hours after all )

  1. I'm whispering so I don't disturb your nap. It's been great fun reading along with you as you house hunt, turn ugly duckling furniture into swans and let us in on your domestic discussions. You need a bit of rest before you jump into a busy 2013!

  5. Wow! Those were all great makeovers! Love the hutch - I'm trying to get my hubby to agree to letting me paint my 12 year old oak hutch!

  7. Wow. I am glad you re-posted. I miss some of those! The big hutch is just an amazing make over. I am feeling lazy and comfy cozy today too...I had a short burst of energy and started taking Christmas down, but it didn't last long! Visiting your blog in my Pj’s is a lot more fun!! Plus it might get me to re-do a few pieces this year!!!! Happy Holidays!

  10. I'm planning to be lazy too and have a retrospective of my year later this week.

    The big hutch is still my favourite makeover.

    Hope you and John have a great slumber! I'm off to get the house ready for the outlaws' Christmas get-together (that's how I call the inlaws. I'll definitely need a nap after that...)

  16. I can't believe the difference in the first piece from wood to white. I have a dresser in our bedroom just screaming for a makeover, but I don't have time to tackle now. I can hardly wait to do it after seeing your great work.

  17. Wow love all of the transformations, especially the buffet. I would love it if you would come by and share your creativity with my friends at:

  19. Oh, I just love all of your makeovers! Being new to your blog and a furniture painter myself I appreciate all the hard work that went in to those pieces. I'm about to tackle an amoire just like yours for my booth in our local antique mall marketplace soon to open! I love it as a linen cabinet! Thanks so much for linking up with us at Dandelion House today! Look forward to more great entries from here in 2012!
