It's always fun to look back and see which posts YOU loved most over the past 12 months. Find out your favorite Turquoise Home posts of 2021!
I love looking back and seeing which of my new posts resonated with you this year! It's always telling to see which posts make the most popular list, because it shows me what to give you more of in the new year.
These past few years, I've really tried to do two things:
- Share basic decorating advice in a Decorating 101 style.
- More of my most-loved paint color posts!
Since this was our second year in our new house, I was able to dig a little deeper, start and finish some makeovers, and really figure out how to use our home. I wrote a lot more Decorating 101 posts in 2020, but I'm not finished! I'll share more in the new year.
As always, I believe the decorating process starts with choosing your whole home color palette. So I showed how I did that with the paint colors I picked for my home. It's no surprise these are the posts that resonated with you most!
I'm planning to keep sharing more Decorating 101 posts, a big dining room, laundry room, and butler's pantry makeover, and even more paint colors in 2022, with a little organization and DIY sprinkled in as well.
So, according to the popular vote, these were the most-viewed posts published in 2021.
Post #10: Blue & Green Traditional Powder Room Unveiling
This powder room makeover was my favorite project all year! A small powder room is the perfect place to add lots of personality, and I love our blue and green hydrangea bathroom. It resonated with so many people, too. You'll see these rich green paint colors everywhere in design these days, and I'll be adding more to my home in 2022!
Post #9: My Candid Ruggable Rug Review
I love my Ruggable rug so much that I added a Christmas rug in my kitchen for the holidays. It's the perfect way to have a rug in the kitchen without worrying about spills!
Post #8: Top Blue Green Paint Colors for Your Home
I'm a huge fan of all things blue and green, so it's no surprise I've been painting my home with these gorgeous blue/green paint colors for years. Their popularity hasn't faded in recent years. If anything, it has only grown! Some of my favorites include Sea Salt and Wythe Blue!
Post #7: A Traditional Spring Table Setting (& the End of an Era)
In 2021, we said goodbye to my farmhouse-style DIY table and console buffet. It was a bittersweet moment, but the furniture didn't fit in my home, and the style was all wrong for this house. I was thrilled when it was replaced with antique furniture from my great-grandparents' home. More to come when I redo my dining room next year!
Post #6: What Is Grandmillennial Style? {Decorating 101}
This year I explored “What is grandmillennial style?” In short, this design style is a fresh take on traditional, classic decor. Picture lots of floral wallpaper, dark wood, skirted furniture, and mixed patterns with tassels and trim! I shared how to get the look in this post!
Post #5: Top Home Decor Paint Colors: Mindful Gray
Sherwin Williams' Mindful Gray (SW 7016) is a lovely light to medium warm gray that's neutral enough to pair with a variety of decor styles and palettes. This wildly popular color is loved by interior designers and homeowners alike, and for good reason: it's an incredibly versatile neutral with no sneaky undertones.
Post #4: 15 Flush Mount Lighting Ideas for Your Home
I replaced the dreaded "boob light" in my butler's pantry this year with a simple, inexpensive flush mount fixture. It was a huge hit, as others look to get rid of the strange-looking and oddly shaped fixtures. I'll be replacing more in the new year!
Post #3: 15 Compact Entryway Storage Ideas
Our entryway is large, but there's really limited wall space for any kind of storage. So, I rounded up a bunch of small-space storage ideas for the foyer and shared them all in this post!
Post #2: Decorating 101: How to Make a Bed Like a Pro
It's funny how some of the simplest ideas make the best posts, and this one is no different! I finally learned how to make my bed so it looks like a pro made it, and it's just a few simple steps. I now love making my bed (not every day, but more than I used to)!
