From me, Evan, Bruno and Fritz: Happy New Year! Here’s to 2011 being a year of health, wellness, snacks, Moomins, organized closets, laughter, good design, good movies, good books, friends old and new, family, piles of blankets next to the radiator, and a decent cup of coffee whenever you need one.
Party animals that we are, we’re spending the night at home eating nachos, drinking wine and…painting the living room! Of course.

ha! that sounds like the perfect new year’s evening to me. aaand mine’s shaping up to be quite similar 🙂 fyi: i’ve very much enjoyed reading your blog over the past year. looking forward to 2011!
For some reason, painting at night is more fun. Or, at least more amusing. I am curious as to what color you’re painting it!
I am guessing black! 🙂
We’re painting, too. But it’s pale salty blue in the baby’s room.
“organized closets, laughter, good design…”
My sentiments exactly!!! ;^)
Me three. I am painting my bathroom orange and grey, eating pizza and reflecting/documenting all my house traumas and successes of the past year. Love your new hallway and happy new year.
Also at home just chilling.
We spent LAST New Years painting our dining room.
It’s much more fun with alcohol 🙂
Yay! Happy New Year to D16! (And can’t wait to see more of this week’s progress!)
Happy New Year Anna! All the best you & yours. Thanks for all you do & share!
Enjoy everything, girlfriend. I will descned upon you one fine day, and we’ll be stuck like chuck forever, you and me. And your tallness. And my smallness. What a fine pair we’ll make… Shamone!! xoxox
i guess, by your definition, i’m a party animal too 🙂 my plans are the same….subtract the whole painting the living room bit 🙂
happy new year to you and your family!
Sounds like a great time, you and your guys…and you get to cross one more thing off your to do list before the end of the year! Thanks for this year of blogging and all the inspiration you’ve given, and for answering all my sometimes, somewhat silly questions…..like, where did you get The Cure poster??? I’ve been searching……..
Happy New Year!
Sue, the Cure poster was a free giveaway with preorders of the 3IB reissue in 2004. I’m not sure where you can find one now…maybe eBay?
A very happy new year to you! I’m coming out of my shell and it’s finally time to say hello and THANK YOU to all of the wonderful people out there whom I have been following for quite some time now. So, Anna, hi =) and thanks, your blog is fantastic!
You’re my kind of party animal. 😉
Happy NY!

Happy New Year and all of your sentiments right back at you! I am going to make myself my first decent cup of coffee of the year right now.
Happy New Year Anna, Evan, Bruno and Fritz!
Happy New Year to you too ! What better way to start the new year than reading your wonderful blog with a good cup of coffee in one hand and a butter croissant in the other (and a snoring cat on your lap) ?!
Happy New Year! Thank you for all the inspiration you never cease to provide!
THAT sounds like a fabulous NYE!!
Happy New Year 🙂
Painting at night is fab 🙂 Unfortunately for me, that is the only way I ever get to paint. Have to wait until the little monster is in bed.
Cant wait to see the results 🙂
2011, toute belle et toute douce…
I think this is the year everyone I know decided to stay home. I curled up with my dog and watched New York I love You (terrible; not even close to half as good as Paris I love You) and The Single Man. Thanks for blogging and Happy New Year to you and your readers.
Happy belated new year! Fritz is killing me with his long hair, so cute. Hope you had a good one – can’t wait to see how the paint turned out.
Where oh where did you get that fabulous Moomintroll?? I love them!
A friend gave it to me years ago. I don’t know where she got it, sorry…
Happy New Year, Anna! Many completed projects and reasons to laugh:)
mooomins! happy new year, anna!
we love the moomins at our house, young and not so young. have you read any of her adult fiction? i have read several that have been re-issued recently and they are fab! seek them out, you will love them I hope.
cheers and happy happy to you!
Best wishes for 2011 ;o)
Happy New Years to you and everyone else living behind Door Sixteen!
Quick question: What font did you use for the sign/card? I keep seeing it or ones like it around, and it has very much grown on me.
The font is called Hannah, and you can buy it from You Work For Them.
Thank you!
Hi Anna!
Happy holidays and Happy New Year 🙂 Love your blog and the transformation of both your homes.
Quick question, I’m wondering what font you’re using for the Happy New Year on the photo? looks perfect, especially next to that sassy Hippo statue 😉 Thanks, Anna!
Cheers,
Grace
The font is called Hannah—there’s a link in the reply to the comment right above yours.
And that’s a Moomin, not a hippo! 🙂
