Nobles Restorations, Inc.
Absolutely Amazing!
Nathan and his team did an amazing job on my kitchen and family room renovation. I could not be more pleased. During the process I realized how much I hated renovating. I worked with David and he made excellent recommendations that all came together beautifully. He was available to answer all of my questions. Oleg and each of the subcontractors were professional and they finished the entire renovation in 4 weeks. I would definitely recommend Nobles Restorations for your next project.

I agree, using a dryer makes your clothes look old. I guess its a good thing we dont have a dryer now so we are forced to hang our clothes to dry.

Not only do new houses not have them, I’ve also read that some HOAs try to ban clothing lines in neighborhoods. Silly.

Dryers also tend to make some clothing have a yellow color to it. When I had a house, I used the clothes line. New houses today don’t have them. Too bad- there’s NOTHING like the ‘smell’ of fresh-hung sheets.

I used to dry everything, and I’ve definitely noticed a difference, too. Throwing stuff in the dryer is a little more convenient, but it doesn’t take that much more effort to line dry!

Couldn’t agree more with your resolution to run towards that which scares you most. Bigger risk, bigger reward! Go for it.
Congrats on turning ten! I’ve been a fan from the early days. And I feel old now;)
Happy New Year!

What wonderful goals!! I am yet to write mine, but I am heading out camping for a few weeks shortly, and am taking plenty of thought-provoking reading, and plenty of paper and pencils with me. See you in the new year x

I LOVE the resolutions. I’ve been reading this blog regularly for about 3 years and what keeps me coming back is your guys’ ability and drive to change and grow. I’m very much looking forward to what you all have up your sleeves in the new year!

Beautiful post, and I love these confetti pockets – I always like to have fortune cookies when I have people over, but they never feel quite “occasion appropriate”, these would be so much better and very easy to customize.
Happy New Year all at Design*Sponge, thanks for all your great work so far and looking forward to seeing what you come up with in 2014!

Great advice to decorate our homes for the comming New Year’s Eve! A little effort to make these little decorations, especially if we make it togeher with our children, is something that will contribute to fill us with beautiful emotions to remember during the following years. Merry Christmas and happy New 2014. Year!

Thanks so much for sharing your resolutions and thoughts Grace. It is inspiring to know that we all face hurdles and lessons but the key is to keep pushing forward to create the best business, brand and life that we desire. Looking forward to the new D*S in 2014. And I love these DIY confetti packets. Super fun and easy. I can’t wait to make them this year.
