Top Ten Posts for 2014

Best of Sweet Pea 2014

For me 2014 went by so quickly!  It is hard to believe that in just a few short days it will be a new year.  At the end of the year it is fun to look back at which posts were popular.

Let’s see which of my posts made the cut for the top ten posts for 2014.  I’m starting with number ten.  Scroll down to see more!

I have made this soup so many times in 2014, if fact, I made it the other night for a post-tennis dinner for some girl friends.  This is a great recipe!

Plow and Hearth inspired this knockoff of their Chevron End Table.  Later on, I gave it an update by adding a stripe of gold around the top.

Vintage Bedside Table Makeover without Paint by virginiasweetpea

Number Three

Vintage Bedside Table Makeover (No Paint)

This bedside table was first used by my dad and then by me when I was in college.  It desperately needed and update and refinishing it really brought out the beauty of the wood.

Number Two

Clothespin Snowflake

Clothespin snowflake ornaments are easy to make and look pretty on the tree.

Number One

Lamp Makeover (A Dumpster Find!)

While vacationing at the beach, I couldn’t resist picking through a dumpster in front of a rental house that was being cleaned out for new owners.  This lamp was ugly before and I think a quite beautiful after.

Thanks to all for following along with me in 2014.  I’m looking forward to what 2015 brings!
