December 29, 2013 by Cynthia Filed Under: Cottage Design, Decorating Ideas, DIY, Entertaining, Exteriors and Garden Design, Interior Design, Residential Design

2013 project review from A Button Tufted Life…  The lifestyle blog from decorator Cynthia Weber

 

It was quite a year!

Putting together this round up of some of our projects from 2013 has been a blast…

I found it really hard to limit it because each and every one had special memories to me.

So… here is a look back, I have included some of our projects here at Hoop Top House, some client design projects as well as a few personal favourites like our kitchen reno for my mom and dad.

I hope you enjoy them!

Last January we took on a kitchen reno for my parents while they were away for a week on vacation…

It was a lot of work and a ton of fun!

In March we shared how to use herbs and natural dyes to make stunning Easter Eggs!

It is a tradition in our home that I always look forward too.

Adding wainscotting to our family room was something I had wanted to do for awhile…

We finally found time to do it and shared it on the blog.

I love how it turned out!

Wisteria at Hoop Top House cynthiaweber.com

 

The spring at Hoop Top House brought a huge surprise this year…

Our Wisteria bloomed!!!

I was over the moon about it and shared it on the blog.

It set the tone for a huge project involving adding antique windows to the back of the house and increasing gardens and cobblestones.

People always want to know …

How I create vignettes!

So… I shared a trick I have to help create beautiful and balanced displays.

It is very simple but oh so effective!

Our client projects this year were all very rewarding.

In September we started a large project and our clients were willing to let us show the process on the blog as a series.

 

 

Client Diaries… Jess & Brad

 

These next projects are from that series.

I also wanted to include my fun collaboration with Karianne from Thistlewood Farms in the round up…

Designing a fabric line for her gatehouse project was a wonderful part of 2013 for me.

You can see the post here, and the collection over at Spoonflower.

Well, that was 2013 in a nut shell…

The year ended here with an ice storm that left everything looking like a fairyland.

I shared a post about it with lots of winter wonderland photos.

I can’t wait to see where this new year will take us!

Kent and I have some big plans for 2014…

Wishing you and yours a very happy New Year!
