We hope with all of our hearts that you have been enjoying this holiday season as much as we are. 2 Bees have been taking a much needed break and have been resting up to recharge our creative batteries. Our time has been well spent visiting family and friends, laughing until we have cried, eating treats that we are absolutely positive have zero fat or caloric counts and planning for the year ahead. It’s hard to believe that at the stroke of midnight we will greet a New Year – 2017. Before we leap ahead, we always like to take a look back at our blogging and business year. Preparing this top 10 post is so much fun and we are always a bit surprised and proud of all that we accomplish in a year. Here are our Top 10 Posts of 2016.

 IKEA Rast Hack Telephone Table

Painted furniture posts are always popular on our blog. This plain IKEA Rast dresser was a bit different in that it needed to be creatively made-over as part of a challenge. We still have a tinge of regret that we sold this piece.
