12 Most Popular Posts of 2012



As the year comes to an end, I always like to look back to see what I worked on over the year and what themes or ideas were popular here at September Acres.  I love reading year in review type posts and there are a ton of them out there right now.  I hope you will enjoy reading (or re-reading) my most popular posts from this past year.


  1. 31 Days of Organization-Day 1- This is where the series starts.  It has links to all of the posts for the month (a few of them are also on the top 12 list).
  2. Home Management Notebook - Also part of the 31 Days series.  The notebook has been such a useful tool for me.
  3. DVD/CD Storage - Even with MP3 players and the like DVD & CD storage can be a bear.  This solution really helped keep our home looking a bit neater.  This was also part of the 31 Days Series.
  4. Organizing Basics - Yet another in the organizing series.  
  5. Key Lime Bar Recipe - We spent a week organizing our kitchens and I loved taking a break to use our clean space by making this yummy recipe.
  6. Holiday Home Tour - I could spend hours touring homes, especially when they are spiffed up for the holidays.  And I love sharing mine as well.  If you haven't taken the tour yet, I hope you'll stop by. 
  7. Shades of Grey - the one where I show you my newly painted guest bathroom.  I didn't do too many home improvement projects this year (I hope that changes in 2013) but this was the biggest.
  8. Kitchen Gadgets - My most loved, most used kitchen gadgets.
  9. Girl's Bedroom Re-do - A new look for LM's room.
  10. 10 Things to Do on Black Friday Besides Shopping - A list of ideas that are way more fun than standing in lines.
  11. A New Look for an Old Dresser - See how just a little change of knobs can change the entire look of an old piece of furniture.
  12. Junk Mail - Part of the 31 Days Series.  Some quick tips to help tame the junk mail.
I am working on ideas for 2013 now and hope to be able to share some DIY projects, recipes and inspiration for you to use in your own homes.

I'm linking up to Jennifer Rizzo's Creative Friday Linky Party.

Thank you for stopping by to see the goings on at September Acres.  I appreciate each of you.  Have a Happy New Year!

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us...

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro...
