Welcome to  Grow Your Blog  sponsored by Vicki @ 2 Bags Full.
Vicki did a great job putting this party together and I wanted to thank her
for all her hard work. 

I am a day late joining the party due to computer problems.  All is well now and I
am back to blogging.
At 2 Bags Full  you’ll find links to almost four hundred blogs…all there to
meet new people and hopefully grow their blogs.  I am always excited to
find new blogs with similar interests as mine.  Looks like I’ll be busy for
quite a while going through all the links at the party!
For those of you not familiar with “No Minimalist Here” I thank you for visiting
for the first time.  Our move from  Florida to Virginia. three years ago prompted
 me to start blogging.  Hubby and I sold our home in Florida fully furnished
(they even bought our pots, pans & dishes)  and we had to pretty much start
 decorating our new home from scratch.
My friends and family know how much I love decorating, they were asking
me to email them pictures as we worked on our home. I decided the best way
to share our progress was through starting a blog. Never in a million years did I
dream No Minimalist Here would grow to the size it is now, nor did I think anyone
other than a few family and friends would even visit.
I truly appreciate each and everyone of you that have made this blog such
a fun and wonderful experience for me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
For those of you that are visiting here for the first time, or are relatively new
followers,  I am highlighting below are just a few of my favorite projects.
Above is one of the first projects I showed on my new blog… Ballard Design Knockoff.
It is still one of the most visited post even three years later.
Make Your Own Chalk Paint For $4.00  to date has had over 200,000 visitors and still has
more views each week than any other post.  Who would have ever thought? 

I saw a great Lazy Susan at Pottery Bar and decided to try to recreate the look.   The
Pottery Barn Inspired Piece is still one of my favorites…even if it did only cost me $1.00.

Covering the altar candlesticks with Spackle really transformed the bright
gold finish on this pair.

Thanks for dropping by and you can find more of my frugal projects in the
archives. Also,  I would love for you to link up to the Open House party held right
here starting every Wednesday evening.

I will try to get around to visiting everyone linked to the
Grow Your Blog Party.   In the meantime just leave a comment that
you are a new follower here and I will happily follow back.

  7. I suscribed a long time ago. I think it's because I loved the title of your blog… "Minimalist" decoration is really trendy right now in France and it's just not me! But I'm a brand new follower, since I only recently discovered what it was, when someone asked me to add the gadget on my own blog.

  8. Your homemade chalk paint recipe post got me started and I've become a painting fool! (and really good at it) Thanks for the posts!!

There is always something wonderful to comment about in your posts and I'm truly enjoying reading them all.
