Top Ten of 2016

Hi Friends,

It's that time of year again, time to look back at all we did during 2016, and see what worked, what didn't, and learn and prepare for the year ahead.

As usual, I compiled the projects that I created during this year, that got the most views. There are a couple of surprises, but overall, they're projects that I loved working on and I'm glad many of you enjoyed.

So, let's start at number 10. The final project to be completed this year. I was a bit surprised to see it climb to the top ten because the reveal was during this month of December, but I'm glad to see it was that well received. Check it out, a plain room that got a set of built-ins, new ceiling treatment, and it was decorated in its best farmhouse Christmas attire. >

8. Built-Ins Around Bed

Using old desks to create built-ins around the bed was a good decision to skip building the bases and the many drawers that I wanted to have in this room.

7. Scrap Wood Holder

During Summer of this year I gave my garage a good cleaning. The many pieces of wood got organized, most of them fit nicely in this wooden cart that I'm still using. And, for the views this project has received, I see many people out there are looking for a way to organize that scrap wood pile.

Home tours are always fun, home after home we go checking how well they got dressed for the new season. My Spring home tour was the one to get the most views this year. Well, not a big surprise because it was the first tour of the year.

5. Garage Organization - How to install a pegboard

Installing a pegboard is an easy an economical way to bring organization to a garage. Well, I installed two pegboard sheets and I'm loving having a place where to put each tool. I might install one more this year, you know, I keep on getting new tools. ;)
