No. 8: Bright and Festive Farmhouse Christmas Home Tour

Sometimes it all comes together, and this year I really loved decorating for Christmas! I shared details of my 3 Christmas trees, and my unusual blue and white tree with real transferware and teacups got a lot of positive feedback. If you missed it, I hope you'll stop by for some inspiration for Christmas 2019!

No. 9: 12 Dramatic White Paint Makeovers

I think we all agree that white paint can redeem almost anything! From dressers to picture frames, hutches to fireplaces, bookcases to clocks...I've painted a lot of things white! If you need inspiration, I've got you covered!

No. 10: Affordably Stylish Farmhouse Laminate Floors

It's been nearly a year since we ripped up our carpet and installed these gorgeous floors in the majority of our first level. They look as good today as they did when we installed them! Maybe even better because they make our stuff look better! If you are anxious to say "buh-bye" to carpet and "hello gorgeous farmhouse floors", check out this post on installation and this reveal post! We also installed these floors in my office, you can read that post here.

Did you enjoy that look back? As always, I am open to your feedback and ideas. If there is anything you'd like to see me tackle this year, or a home decor question you have, please don't hesitate to ask!

I wish you a very Happy New Year!
