Top 10 Blog Posts of 2022
At the end of every year, it’s fun to look back & reflect on all the blog posts I’ve shared over the course of twelve months. While we’ve tackled significantly less large scale home projects this year, those smaller projects always cause me to pause and give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done. From renovating our camper to installing water filtration and tiling our entryway, it’s rewarding to know we did accomplish some cool things you enjoyed following along with this year. Click through to see the top 10 blog posts I shared in 2022- according to their popularity and traffic driven (in no particular order). I hope they were helpful, entertaining, or educational!
1 // An Honest Review of the GE Cafe Range
This post ended up snowballing, which was never my intention… but I was happy to share my personal experience in hopes of saving others the trouble. We’re still saving for a replacement! Maybe 2023 will be the year… until then, we’ve got replacement igniters stockpiled.

3 // The Camper Renovation Reveal
The camper or travel trailer was such a joy and happy accident… it was the project we never intended to tackle this year, that sort of fell into our lap. We’ve already made wonderful memories in our cute home away from home, and we’re looking forward to more adventures this spring! I’m tempted to do another camper renovation someday- simply because it was so much fun.

6 // My Home Office Reveal
I shared my home office renovation back in March and it was our big room reveal of the year. This space has been my safe haven and creative hideout this year. It feels like a space just for me, and I truly enjoy spending hours in this room- doing what I love. I’m very thankful we were able to cross this one off our renovation list early on!

9 // Tips for Styling Convincing Faux Outdoor Plants
Spring was a tricky season for me this year, but I found solace outdoors working in our garden, planting, and getting my hands dirty. Despite our strict water restrictions, I was able to mix in some faux plants in a very convincing way. I’m thrilled to see this post was well received!

10 // Honing Our Guest Bathroom Nero Marble Countertops
Our guest bathroom countertops had a bit of an accident this year, so they had to be honed. I share the complete process in this post and our reasoning behind this decision. Six months later, I’m still loving the soft matte look!

I was also pleasantly surprised to see my travel posts do so well this year, which put a smile on my face! Traveling is my absolute favorite and during an especially difficult year, it brought me peace, joy, and was a welcomed distraction. I’d love to share more travel posts & snippets with you in the year ahead, if you enjoyed following along. This year, we were lucky to spend time in the following places: Tennessee, Hawaii, Ohio, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, as well as Italy, Australia, and Indonesia. We also took the camper out multiple times and I feel incredibly lucky that we were on the go so often. While it turned out to be a coping mechanism of sorts for me this year, nothing makes my adventure loving heart happier. Thanks for taking the time to read those, even though they’re not within the interior realm!
Thank you so much for continuing to show up, offer your encouragement, and read the blog after all these years (more than a decade!). This community we’ve built together is my favorite place and it’s all because of you. I’ll be back to my regular blog schedule, and will be sharing my kitchen shelf swap on Wednesday, January 4th! I’m taking Friday & Monday off to get organized, continue working on our guest room, and to celebrate the year ahead. Happy New Year, friends! See you back here next week. Cheers!
