7 Top DIY Posts Of The Decade

Happy new year and new decade to all of my treasured readers!!
If you like good old fashioned DIY, then you may have come to the right place! Today I’m sharing some of the top posts of the decade here on the blog that category.

One might think that as someone who has been blogging for over 13 years now I have the golden formula. If only that were true I could perhaps put things on autopilot and hang out on the beach with an umbrella, a good novel and an unsweet tea every day. While I do enjoy my beach time and just returned from some time at our coastal retreat, that is not the case. I still work hard at this creative job of blogging and although I try to work smarter (not harder) as the years push along…content must be created. In delving into the analytics of what you read, DIY projects have always been consistently up at the top! A blog though is something that (as a long time blogger) I still think of as a web-log of my life, there will always be other content mixed in. Interior design and home styling is a popular section, as well as entertaining, travel and recipes. I’d love for you to tell me what else YOU would like to see and I do listen and read the comments. But for today…here is a glimpse back at some of the most visited DIYs and a chance to dive in if you missed any of these.

NOTE* these are in no particular order and some of these posts are OLD AS DIRT, but still highly visited and relevant. I have a bunch of new ideas for DIY HOME PROJECTS and easy crafting coming up this year for you and can’t wait to share…

Love all your DIY projects.. especially ideaa on painting furniture… I’d love to see MORE tablescapes using fun centerpieces of all kinds… .I have a utility room full of seasonal fun objects I use & find it fun to always mix then up! You have done lots of remodeling & have mentioned u r moving.. SO when IS that happening? And where r u moving?

    1. Thank you Debbie and I always appreciate knowing what my readers are looking for. So helpful! Planning on things but it will all have to wait until my husband decides to retire. I’m not sure when that will be, but not likely this year. Happy 2020 to you and yours! xo
