  9. I have no idea how you could select only twelve, this whole year was amazing! That being said, these are probably my top twelve too! Thank you for such a great year of inspiration and I'm excited for the year to come!

  10. These were some of my favorites too! Kim, for the stencil, do you think I could just print out the design on paper, place it under a vinyl sheet, hold the two sheets together with adhesive or paper clips to keep them from sliding around, and cut it out that way? Or do you think the paper on the bottom might burn from the tool? Also, did you use anything to protect your table? Thanks!

    1. Great question Melissa. I used a piece of glass from an old picture frame to cut the stencil out on. You could place your printer sheet under the glass and then have the transparency over the top of the glass, that way you can easily view your design.

  16. I have just enough space in my laundry to do the same shelving and six baskets like you did. Your top shelf looks like it has a counter top edge on it. Can you tell me what materials you used to make this and how you mounted this to the wall. Thanks for the inpiration! Valorie
