This week I am taking it easy and getting myself prepared for all that is ahead of me here at InMyOwnStyle and life in general.
I have many plans for 2012 and am looking forward to all that a new year brings and sharing them with you – fresh starts, new goals, a clean and re-organized house, and lots of creative DIY decorating ideas.
Before I move on I like to re-cap some of my favorite and more popular projects. If you would like to know more, just click on the link above each “Before” photo and it will take you to that post.

Wow! Those are some AWESOME transformations you have there. Can’t wait to follow your blog more closely! :)
Diane, you had so many wonderful projects this year. I hope you will share them at my party, too.
Without a doubt, yours is one of my favorite blogs ever. You are SO creative, and I love that many of your best ideas require more ingenuity than money! Congrats, Diane, on all of your accomplishments. They’re well deserved! Move over, Martha…
You have accomplished a lot of really neat projects this year. You definitely have a lot to be proud of! Thank you for sharing…
“Move over, Martha,” is right.
All your makeovers are marvelous, but these are absolute winners! Each one contains multiple ideas worth copying. Thanks so much for all the work you put into sharing all the details with us.
Happy New Year. I’m looking forward to new surprises from you in 2012. (No pressure!)
Wonderful projects, Diane! I know you had a lot more that I enjoyed this year, too. I loved all of these so I won’t even try to pick a favorite! Here’s to a creative New Year ahead! : )
Diane; I am proud to say I was “there” for everyone of your awesome projects; admire and love your home and talent! Thank you for a wonderful year of creative ideas–some I’ve tried to implement into my old house. Have a great and Happy New Year!
so many great projects; you were busy! that tuna can lantern is so clever and i love your fake transom.
Your blog has some of the most hands-on, amazing projects of all of the 103 blogs I follow! Really!
That tuna-can thing was unbelievable!
Happy 2012 to you!
You had some fabulous projects this past year but the stairs reno is my favorite! It makes me want to go and rip the carpet off of mine right now!!
The gallery wall is divine and you have been busy. I read far too much to get anything done but I do garden a lot. hugs♥Olive
I just love everything that you make…I think you might be my favorite blogger. Keep up the good work!
Always fun to look back. I had forgotten that it was You who made that genius fixture out of a tuna can!!! :) Smart lady!
Great ideas how do you come with some of these things and where do you find the time to actually do them all so well.
Your blog is fantastic! I love all your projects, but my favorite is the clothespin wreath…..but everything is such a fabulous transformation!
You accomplished so much in 2011. All of our projects are just beautiful! I look forward to reading your posts in 2012 and seeing all your wonderful work.
Sorry, it should say “All of YOUR projects are just beautiful!”
WOW! I was just going through all your great projects!
