Welcome to the year 2020! As an annual kick-off, I always like to look back at the popular posts from 2019 (aka last year!). This time, we have a new order for the overall top-five and some really great top 5 projects that I completed last year. Let’s get to it!
If you’re visiting for the first time, this is a great post to start with, because it gives a good overview of my popular content. Before we get to the updated list, you can always check out the past popular post highlights:
And again, I tried to mention some projects that have never been featured before (those are linked at the bottom in the “ones to watch” section!).
Top 5 Posts (from any year)
- Things to Do Before you Move in
- Filling and Planting Raised Gardens
- Painting vs. Whitewashing Panelling (and Brick)
- Patch Gaps in Laminate Floors
- Building a Raised Garden Bed
This year, we had a small change-up in the top five posts, so I’m interested to see if the list will be different next year too.
As far as projects that I wrote about in 2019, most were at the start of the year and almost all had to do with our Rental Renovation.
Top 5 Popular Posts (written in 2019)
- Paint Pour Marble Table (+Video)
- Paint Pouring Mistakes (+Video)
- Installing an Ikea Kitchen in a Basement
- Installing Long Subway Tiles
- Moody Master Bedroom Reveal
Not sure if the videos were the reason for the popularity of the first two, but I am making it a goal to try and get out more regular video content this year.
We’ll see how it goes!
Popular Posts to Watch For
Like I did last year, I’m also sharing some posts that had some of the higher views too. This time though, I wanted to make sure I didn’t include any posts from years before.
So, if you check out the previous popular lists (like the original list, the list from 2017 and the list from 2018), there shouldn’t be any duplicates.
Here they are:
- Repair Damaged Deck Boards
- Seal a Crack in Concrete
- How to Smooth Grout Lines
- How to Finish Trim
- Diamond Wainscoting Wall Treatment
I feel like some of these popular posts need updates (whether sharing how they fared or even doing a more thorough tutorial). I’ll definitely have to give updates if I get to any of those!
WAIT! I just decided to add my five favourite posts from last year… that didn’t make the cut. In no particular order, I really liked these projects too:
- Basement Living Room Design (we just have a couple of pieces missing from the original design, but still pretty close!).
- Glam Black and Gold Bathroom Moodboard (it was fun a fun stretch to keep my colour scheme more monochromatic)
- Easy Upholstered Dining Chairs (solved so many headaches, and have held up great so far!)
- Draw a To-Scale Floorplan (probably my favourite thing to do, and comes in handy if you need design help)
- Not-So-Neutral Nursery Reveal (a bright and fun space for baby #3, and ya, the post with the baby is definitely the best overall!)
Let me know if any of these are your favourites, and/or if you had something else you liked and are bummed it didn’t make the top spot :)
