Top Ten Projects of 2017

I've been putting together this top ten project post every year. It's been a nice way to see all that was accomplished during the past twelve months.

But, it's also a way for me to feel less guilty about not working during these two final weeks and instead, feel like hey, what the heck, it was a lot of work, and now I deserve to take these two weeks. :)

So, yeah, I went to check all those projects that got the most views to create the following countdown. →

As usual, there were some projects that I thought would do better and didn't even make it, and there were others that were a total surprise to me to see them climb and make it to this list.

So, let's start at number TEN!

10.  THE EASIEST DOOR TRIM
Chalkboard  |  Coffered Ceiling  |  Mercantile Sign

This was indeed an easy project. 1 x pine material and straight cuts for a simple way to trim a door.



This is one of the biggest projects I've ever tackled. 

Well, well, let me rephrase that... This was the biggest project I've ever been involved in. My brother-in-law was a huge help during the process of building this deck. 

I might say he did like 80% of the work, but nonetheless, I was there at his side, working with him during all the phases of this build. And every day that I worked on this, I went to bed feeling like I had carried the weight of the world on my shoulders. Ouch! my back hurts just thinking about that.

Anyhoo, the pain is gone, just the same as the ugly space this was before. That's one of the aspects I like about DIY. You invest time and energy into a project and then all that's to do it's enjoying the fruits of your hard work.

This is one of those projects I thought would do better than sit in ninth place.

8.  KITCHEN MAKEOVER
York Three Light Pendant  |  School House Ceiling Light  |  Area Rug |   Kitchen Stools

One of the last projects of the year, the kitchen revamp made it to the eighth spot. 

One of my good findings during this makeover was that painting the kitchen cabinets the second time around wasn't as involved as the first time I did it. ;) 

I'm loving my new bright kitchen.



7.  STRING LIGHTS ON DECK
  String lights |  Patio Set with Firepit  |  Rug  | Patio Umbrella


Adding lights to the deck was one of those last-minute projects that proved to add lights to an outdoor space doesn't have to be that complicated or expensive.



6.  COASTAL VOTIVES

These coastal votives were a repurposed project where the power of painting played a big role in.



5. DIY COMMAND CENTER

Nothing beats organization!

Pieces of wood from the scrap pile plus some tools were the necessary elements to create this wall organizer and keep my desk clutter-free.




4. LIVING ROOM MAKEOVER

There were a few projects that went into the transformation of this room... A board and batten wall, windows and door trim, crown molding, and even furniture makeovers. They all were the character this room needed.



3. OUTDOOR SERVING CART


A great piece of furniture for outdoor entertainment or even for indoor use if you have the space.



2. CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR
Pendant light  |  Build-ins  |  Tablescape


There is always one project, in this case, a post, that made it to the top ten thanks to Pinterest.  The Christmas home tour was that post this year. Only three weeks ago it went live and it made it to the top second spot. Sasweet!  :)

Wouldn't you love having tons more posts like this!



1. DOUBLE LAYER DRAWER ORGANIZATION


Finally, the project that got the most views this year...  The double drawer organizer. I love it!
