The hope that a new year provides is so wonderful! the option to set goals for the upcoming year with a blank slate and start over.

Additionally, I adore it when websites and blogs do their roundups in late December. Looking back on the year gives me a chance to consider my successes and allows me to catch up on anything I may have missed. Here are my top 12 picks from 2017, which I share now in appreciation of all of your roundups.

SPACES CHANGES

DIY ACTIVITIES

for DESIGN ARTICLES

I am privileged to be one of the many voices in this continuous discourse on home renovation and interior design when I reflect back on 2017 and see the spaces I refurbished, the DIY projects I performed, as well as the design articles I wrote. I’m very appreciative that you keep reading this blog and following my adventures on social media.

I have a growing list of things I want to get done in 2018, including a few DIY projects, numerous trips I’ve previously scheduled, and space improvements. More of the same things I’ve covered in the past will be covered in 2018, and I’m looking forward to keeping up with all of your original ideas as well.

I want to wish everyone a very happy new year! Welcome to 2018!
