Reader Favorites From the 2011 Magazine-Inspired Decorating Challenges

This year-end roundup revisits some of the most-viewed projects from our 2011 magazine-inspired decorating challenges. The work and photographs belong to the bloggers credited below.

A snowman’s Christmas scene at The White Weathered Hutch

The White Weathered Hutch’s snowman terrarium received the most views of the year in the challenge. The little glass house held a snowman, miniature trees, a small house, and a snowy-looking base.

Debbie at Refresh Restyle

Debbie from Refresh Restyle was another reader favorite. Her entry was originally linked under the title Pottery Barn, Salsa, Goodwill. That old project address and its featured photograph are no longer available, but her contribution remains part of this roundup.

Sonny’s painted-chair seating area

Sonny at 155 Dream Lane shared this arrangement of painted chairs beside a fireplace. A small table, dishes, fruit, wine, and candlelight completed the scene.

Karen’s vintage-style vignette

Karen at Shabby Sweet Cottage arranged twine, lace, white flowers, dark decorative pieces, and crown artwork. The mix of textures made her magazine-inspired display another favorite.

Shenita’s front entrance

Shenita shared this tall, arched brick entrance with a seasonal wreath, planters, and flowers along the approach. The photograph is her project; the original roundup credited her by name without a source link.
