    Top 10 Projects! {VOTE for Your Favorite}

    By Stacy 84 Comments

    THE VOTING IS OVER AND THE WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN. #2 PLAYHOUSE WON!!!

    I love this contest right up until I have to decided the top ten..... IT WAS SO HARD! Every year you guys up your game. The projects were amazing. And we had a tough time (like pull your hair out, eat chocolate, take deep breaths kind of hard) choosing the top projects.

    I am happy I had help. Thank you judges!

    Okay, without further delay, here are the top 10 projects (in no particular order)!

    PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE AT THE END OF THE POST

    I know these are fabulous projects and you probably want to pin them to Pinterest. PLEASE visit their site and pin from the original source. I am sure they would appreciate it :) Thanks!

    #1 Custom Bookcase by Remodelando La Casa

    I am blown away by this stunning bookcase/fireplace Cristina built for her bedroom. WOW!

    #2 Play House built by Fynes Designs

    After building their home Virginia and her husband saved the left over scraps. They used those scraps to build a playhouse for their two children. It took 4 years of planning and building. Amazing!

    Playhouse

    #3 Mudroom by Vin Yet Etc.

    Laurie and her husband turned the "summer kitchen" in their 1854 farm house into the most incredible mudroom. It is so pretty I don't think I would ever allow any mud in there!

    #4 Pantry built by The DIY Village

    The amazing duo, Jacque and Matt, turned a builder grade pantry into a show stopper. You need to click over and see the before. Not only is it prettier, but it has so much storage!

    #5 Desk built by Love 2 Create

    I adore the design of this desk. Then when you see how it started out..... HOLY CATS! What a makeover!!!

    #6 Kitchen by Domestic Imperfection

    There is pretty much nothing I don't love about this kitchen. So much went into making it pretty. Hop on over and see the penny countertop, the custom built shelves, and the other fun details.

    #7 Nautical Bedroom by Inspiration for Moms

    I think it is pretty safe to say any little boy would love to have this as their room. I know my ocean lovin' boys would. You need to pop over to see the unique fish bowl too!

    #8 Backyard Makeover by Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer

    This backyard is gorgeous! You  need to see the before to fully appreciate how AMAZING this makeover is. And do you see that gate? Christy built that! Love it :)

    #9 Craft Room by Unskinny Boppy

    What a beautiful place Beth has created! I can see how she easily gets inspired working here. Lots of fun details too!
