Late Friday I realized that it had been six years since the day we closed on our home and moved into this little old Dutch Colonial. S I X... Y E A R S... It's sounds like such a long time ago but it feels like I blinked and here we are. Wish it felt like that when we were in the middle of each house project, right?!
In those moments, during each and every DIY renovation, it felt like time stood still and we weren't getting anywhere with anything in this house and that it was never going to look the way we dreamed that we could make it look. Now here we and the place looks nothing like the bland peachy/beige box we walked into six years ago. The crazy thing looking back now (which is a good thing I must mention for any new fixer-upper owners out there), most of the work we did happened in the first 3 years we owned the house and then more minimal updates happened during the last 2-3 years.
Like I said, I wish it all happened in the blink of an eye but thankfully we didn't totally drag all the projects out over the last six years. - Ugh, I shutter at the thought of that! - So celebrate our SIXTH year at home, I thought what better than a look back at SIX of our proudest and most painful projects! Be sure to click the links for a look back at all the posts and drama documented along the way! Drumroll....

I definitely love your closet and workspace project the most. I absolutely love it! I often find myself going back to it and looking at the pictures trying to see all of the detail.
