The Most Popular Project from Each Month | 2014

December 31, 2014

Happy New Year! When I think about 2014, I get overwhelmed. It was a good year and a hard year, too. We couldn't feel more grateful to be on this end of it. I plan on diving back into another VERY FULL year of renovating and blogging--ohhhh I can't wait to share with you what is on deck for 2015--next week, but I feel I would be doing this little blog a disservice if I didn't recap at least some of 2014s' projects.

We did an insane amount of work this year. Big projects, like tearing up all of our flooring. Adding a fence! But, I thought it would be best (and the most approachable) to just to highlight each month's most popular most. It didn't always equate to the largest project of the month, which is a great lesson for me to learn and keep in mind.

  1. You are so inspiring! Thank you for all the tips and wonderful how to's! I really could have used the perfect stripe tip doing stripes in my son's room. However, he and his sister, Julia :) share a room right now so he will possibly be moving into his own soon and I can try for a more perfect attempt! Looking forward to seeing more of your homes transformation in 2015!

We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]

Product Test: Portable Phone Chargers

Raise your hand if you panic when your phone's low battery notification turns on? (Just me??) There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
