Hey everyone! Can you believe the year of 2015 is winding down so fast? I am blown away at how quickly time goes by. Doesn’t it seem like every year is faster than the last? Today I am thrilled to have put a post together for you titled the Top Ten Best of 2015. My blog has seen changes and I have stretched my self further than I thought I could go.
So in saying that, let’s get started with Best of 2015 by What Meegan Makes.
I will begin with Number 10…
I was so pleased with my $10 Thrifted Table Makeover. I was the first time I had sanded anything with an electric sander (I am now hooked!)
For a fun craft, I made a garland using book pages and burlap. It looks great in our home all year long.
After wanting something unique and beautiful on our front door, I created a flower basket out of a spice rack. I know, crazy, right? But it LOOKS amazing.
I was challenged by Porch.com to create a home accessory for $15 or less. That was easy. I ALWAYS wanted a sea glass tray-so I made my own for less than $15. I love this look and it perfect for the cottage style I like so much.
If you know me at all, you know how much I love blue. Definitely my favorite color. This past Summer I filled my kitchen shelves with my vintage blue mason jars, and white accessories. After Christmas, I am going to style my shelves like this again. I like it that much! This was also featured on French Country Cottage. (That was a huge honor for me)
The past few years I have collected tea cups and saucers. I see them as pieces of art. I wish they could tell me where they have been and who they have seen. Once I found the sizes and shapes I liked, I hung them on my living room wall, as a plate collage.
I have developed a passion for thrifting and finding bargains. I found this lovely night stand and painted it with my own recipe for chalk paint. It now resides in our living room. It looks like a PB piece, doesn’t it?
After finding a WHOLE vintage box spring in the desert, I came home and started to work on my Box Spring Vases with Hankies. I love this look all year long.
Like I said before, I have developed a love for thrifting. I found this “bench” at a garage sale and transformed it into a Farmhouse Coffee Table. With lumber, a little paint a a few hinges, the top now looks like a vintage gate. And I am enjoying it very much.
AND COMING IN AT NUMBER ONE IS…
Something that I really enjoy in our home is the vintage ladder with fairy lights and crystals. My hubby hung it for me in our living room, and I marvel at it everyday.
Wow! That is YOUR favorite Top Ten Best of 2015 from What Meegan Makes. It is an honor to blog for you each week. I look forward to next with hope, happiness and many more ways to get YOUR creative juices flowing.

Hi Meegan,
I love all your projects. Blue is also my favorite color and you just can’t beat a pretty blue mason jar and oh… that ladder and the table with hinges… all great projects. Happy New Year and best in 2016!
You have so many great projects, it’s hard for me to choose a favorite. I do love the flower basket on your front door. Lucky you, to find the box spring. I have been looking for a couple of years now. :)
I have a vintage ladder that I currently use as a pot rack, but it’s coming down soon. You have given me an amazing idea!!
Your posts always have such great color in them! I love seeing that… Hope your new year is off to a fabulous start!
The boxspring vases are so smart!
