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 gives me the chance to catch up on anything I may have missed. Here are my top 12 picks from 2017—I appreciate all of your roundups, and today I’m offering mine.

SPACE RENOVATIONS

DIY ACTIVITIES

ARTICLE DESIGN

I am proud to be one of the many voices in this continuous discourse on home renovation and interior design when I reflect on 2017 and the spaces I refurbished, the DIY projects I finished, 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 topics I’ve covered in the past are coming up in 2018, and I’m excited to keep up with all of your original thoughts as well.

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