3 Year Blog Anniversary and Top Ten Posts
Today I’m sharing my top ten posts of 2019!
To celebrate my blog anniversary, I thought it would be fun to share my top ten posts from 2019, starting with number 10 and ending with my most popular blog post from 2019!
I can’t even believe it, but in January of 2020 I will have been blogging for exactly 3 years! Goodness gracious…there is so much I could say about the past three years of blogging, but more than anything I want to thank YOU – my readers – for following along as I share about this fun passion that God has given me for all things home.
It truly means SO MUCH when you visit my blog, read my posts, pin my images, and comment with so much kindness and love. It is SO encouraging and it’s your support that makes me want to continue to share. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
I’m sharing my top ten posts today along with some very talented friends that I’ll link to at the end…be sure to check out their beautiful blogs as well!
Are you ready to get started?! Here we go!
10. How to use the German Schmear Technique on Stone

I was so happy that this “German Schmear” post did so well, especially since I really had NO idea if this technique would work on my stone fireplace! I love how it turned out and apparently you guys did, too!
9. Basket Pendant Light DIY Tutorial

I will admit, this basket pendant DIY tutorial surprised me a little bit! It was honestly so easy that I felt a bit silly writing a blog post about it. But I’m so glad that it was a help to so many of you! 🙂
8. Neutral Cottage Style Corner Hutch

This corner hutch makeover was a favorite of mine as well, and it really shows you what a little bit of paint can do to transform a piece of furniture!
7. Simply Amazing Gluten Free Meatloaf

This one definitely made me chuckle! I still remember sharing this easy meatloaf recipe in my stories on Instagram, and because SO many of you messaged me and asked for the recipe, I decided to add it to the blog!
6. Ikea Farlov Chair Review

This blog review on my Ikea chairs has been so helpful to so many of you, and that makes me so happy. I wrote this post because furniture is a huge investment, and I love reading what other people have to say before I make my final purchase!
5. Dutch Door Baby Gate DIY Tutorial

I will never forget the morning that my husband and I came up with this dutch door baby gate idea. I love how it turned out and I’m so happy that it’s been a successful post!
4. How to Make Orange Wood look Weathered

If you want to switch up some orange-toned wood and give it a weathered finish without stripping or sanding, this post is for you! This process worked so well on a massive chalkboard that now hangs in my boys’ bedroom!
3. Painted Dresser with Raw Wood Drawers

I think this painted dresser with raw wood drawers might be one of my favorite DIY projects ever. If you haven’t seen the “before” of this dresser, you need to go check it out!
2. Silk Ribbon and Cedar Inspired Christmas Tour

Christmas is my favorite holiday, so the fact that my Christmas home tour ranks second in my top ten posts really makes me smile. 🙂 Even better is that fact that my Christmas video tour (also found in this post) had more views on YouTube than any of the other videos I created this year!
1. Easiest Faux Beams Ever

Ready for my top post of 2019?! Here you have it – the easiest faux beams EVER!! Never in a million years did I expect this post to do so well! Apparently a lot of you love beams, just like I do.
