I just ran the numbers and looked up the top posts of 2022.

And it’s official.

You like thrift store makeovers.

Seriously.

Three of the top posts were about things I found by the side of the road and the aisles of the thrift store.  Who knew?  And that made me think.  Should I post more thrift store finds in 2023?  Are there things about shopping at thrift stores you wish you knew and wanted to ask someone who wears lipstick and new fancy bobby pins she got for Christmas?

And can I follow up that query with another question?

Are there any other decorating posts you’d like to see in the new year?

Because I have 10 bright red fingernails that would love to write them.

So today as part of the end-of-the-year series with my friend Leslie from My 100-Year-Old-Home I’m posting all the posts you all loved from 2022.

Here they are counting down from 1 – 10.

Hope you enjoy. 🙂

Apparently, you all love making bows.

Number 3: These side-of-the road shutters

I found these shutters by the side of the road.

Free. Free. Freeity free free free.

I transformed them with a little paint and hung the wreath from a hinge at the top.

Number 2: This painted checkerboard floor

When we peeled up the carpet in our bedroom, we discovered plywood floors.

So we painted them with the cutest checkerboard.

Number 1: The day we painted our house

Drum roll please.

The number one post from 2022?

A little house before and after. We added shutters and painted the house and it completely transformed the exterior of our home.

And now?

Here’s what Leslie had to say about her top 10 posts:

“This top ten list is one that you all chose! There are definitely some surprises but going back and reading these blog posts was so much fun!

I loved that you all really responded to different types of posts! I was most surprised about the posts I wrote where I didn’t agree with some of the latest trends. They might have been a bit controversial but as you all know, I have no trouble sharing my opinions! I can’t wait to see what you think of the list.”
