Top 10 DIY Posts of 2016

January 22, 2017 by Valerie Ott 2 Comments

top 10 posts of 2016

Hi, there! It’s always kinda fun to look back at the previous year when the calendar flips. For one thing, it makes me feel proud of the things I was able to accomplish despite having a crazy-busy schedule. Plus, it makes me feel resolved (my word of the year!) to continue making progress on projects around the house. Here’s my top 10 DIY posts of 2016…that is, my personal favorite projects of the year in no particular order.

Each of these projects (except the Junk Art, which was just an awesome way to spend an afternoon with my daughter) was a game changer in one way or another: either by helping us get organized or providing more storage; by saving on space; or just adding a little color to our home. If you have a small(ish) house, chances are, you’ll find an idea here worth trying!
