Top 10 Projects of 2015

Can you believe it is already the new year!?

Happy New year!  Before I dive into this year I thought I would take one last look at 2015.

A look at the top ten projects of 2015 from MyLove2Create.  This post is pack full of great DIY tutorial projects and free building plans!

Since I have never done a yearly project round up I decided it would be fun share with you my most popular posts from this year.  I have complied my Top Ten Projects of 2015, and really enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane, and revisiting some great projects!  I hope you have fun too!

Lets get started!

10- Farmhouse Storage Bed

Farmhouse Storage Bed

Even though this is #10, this is probably one of my very favorite projects!  My husband and I love it so much and the storage it packs it just the icing on the cake!  We used our hidden storage for hiding Christmas presents this year and it was A-mazing!

9- Reclaimed Wood Media Console

Reclaimed wood media console, with DVD storage

This project has top placement in our family as one of the super faves.  I completed this as a scrap wood challenge, and boy was that fun, and FREE!!  Ok, I guess I did buy the drawer glides, but the rest was from my huge hoard. You HAVE to check out the awesome DVD storage on this baby…LOVE.  I am so happy to have free building plans for this one too.

8- Teen Boys Bedroom Reveal

I officially completed my first full room makeover!!  I took part in the One Room Challenge for this project (er…projects) and in 5 short weeks completely transformed my boys room!  I still have lost of tutorials to write for this room, so look forward to those in the next few months!  Yippee!

7- DIY Chalkboard Frames

I was so happy this project made the top ten!  It is super easy and sooo fun, I smile every time I see these in my home.  If you have scrap wood, paint sticks, chalkboard paint, and an hour, this is a project for you!  It is great for the kids and perfect as gifts.  I used it for a Girls activity in my church and it was a huge success.

6- Pottery Barn Knock Off Clock

When this project came up as one of the top ten I had do do some checking on the dates…I quickly realized that I had posted it on My Repurposed Life at the end of 2014, as a contributor post, but put it on my blog in 2015.  I decided to count it, because I adore it, and it still brings me joy when I look at it in my living room.  The faux metal band is one of my favorite parts!

5- Succulent Planters from Light Fixtures

If you are a regular here then you know I love to repurpose!  Part of these planters were once light fixtures, can you believe it!?!  I can honestly say I love how they turned out, so pretty and rustic!  I hosted a repurpose it challenge when I made these and there are some awesome projects to check out in this post!

4- How to Transform Laminate Furniture

How to Transform Laminate Furniture in 3 easy steps
I picked up an old laminate cabinet from the free section on Craig’s list and transformed it into a beautiful and functional piece of furniture!  It is such an easy and simple way to fix up something “not so nice”, and make it look stunning!

3- Floating Night Stand

Floating night stand

Ok, did I already say I have a favorite?  Cause this one has to be at the top of the list too!  I made these floating night stands to go with my farmhouse bed, and they have been seriously perfect!  I love how they take up zero floor space.  Plus, I made this out of one board, you can see how, and make your own with my free building plans.

2- Crib Turned Dog Crate

Crib turned Dog Crate

This fun dog crate was inspired for our dog Sunny, because she is HUGE…and because I didn’t want an ugly wire crate in my room.  I repurposed a free crib into a beautiful dog crate that I enjoy looking at, and Sunny LOVES it, which is the most important part! 🙂

1- How to Install a Plank Wall and how to avoid the biggest mistake EVER!

How to install a plank wall, and avoid the biggest mistake ever

This was my top post!  I would have never guessed that it would even make the top ten, but I suppose people love to learn from mistakes, and this post was a great learning experience for me. This wall is so pretty, and I am super happy it turned out in the end.  It is defiantly a must read if you are thinking of installing your own plank wall!

That is it, and I just realized that 5 of these top ten post projects reside in my master bedroom that I have never finished….I guess I better quit slacking and get going on the last few projects so I can share it with you!  All in good time…  🙂

  1. wow! what great projects Mindi!

    Tough for me to choose a favorite, but it might be a toss up between the dog crate and the reclaimed wood media console. That one blew me away.
