Top DIY Posts of 2015

Happy New Year!  I’ve been completely unplugged for the past week spending time in the Dominican Republic with my family.  While there, I participated in my favorite DIY project yet, and I’ll be sharing more with you all very soon! While  looking through my blog stats from this past year, I discovered that my five top posts this past year were actually from 2014:

  1. Perfect Chalkboard Lettering
  2. Starched Fabric Wall
  3. Painted Faucet
  4. Spray Paint Thrift Store Finds
  5. Shortcuts for Painting Cabinets

Apparently, my projects in 2015 weren’t as well-loved as the previous year’s, and obviously, that means I need to step it up in 2016!  

Anyway, here are my top DIY projects for 2015:

1. How to use Vaseline to Distress Furniture

This post is a video tutorial.  I teamed up with Angela from Unexpected Elegance and we created several DIY video tutorials.

2. Bathroom Wall Paneling

The starched fabric wall was the beginning of this project, but the wall paneling completed the look.

3.  Applying Wax to Chalk Paint

This is another video tutorial.  Remember, less is more!

4. Adding subway tile in kitchen. 

My kitchen didn’t have a backsplash, and I was in love with all the timeless subway tile floating around Pinterest.

5. Unique ways to decorate pumpkins.

After my spray-painted pumpkins exploded in 2014, I was done decorating with live pumpkins.  And, decorating fake pumpkins means they can be enjoyed year after year…

Fun DIY Pumpkins

Blessings to you all and Happy 2016!

I love this chair and side table from @zgallerie that I decided to try it in my office/library. I’m not sure where I love it more - here or my bedroom! It adds so much elegance and charm to the spaces. Use my code SY5 at checkout for 5% off your entire purchase.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?

*TWO THINGS that make wallpaper removal easy* Wallpaper has come a long way and there’s no need to be scared of it anymore! Before I hang wallpaper, I size the walls and often use pre-pasted SureStrip wallpaper that is activated with water! Comment WALLPAPER for easy to remove wallpaper links!

2016 didn’t seem that long ago until I dug through my blog for old home photos. 😳
