Top 10 Modern House Projects of 2017

It's always interesting to me to look back on the year and see what your favorite projects were. The Top 10 Modern House Projects of 2017 includes multiple projects that I thought would be popular (so, no surprise there) but didn't include one or two that I thought I knocked out of the park (looking at you master bedroom reveal). Even though I feel like I know a bit about what you all want when reading this blog, apparently, I still have lots to learn. Without further adieu, though, here's the...

Top 10 Modern House Projects of 2017

Hilariously enough, one of my most popular posts was How I Cut Corners with my Kitchen Shelving (an installment of my Ugly Truths). I need to bring back more installments of "The Ugly Truths" because they are so fun to write (and come clean about)! #keepingitreal

How to Determine Canvas Sizing for a Gallery wall was another favorite.

I think I'll always love gallery walls but they can be so hard to get right! So, I mocked up my old living room wall so you could see sizes of frames and then I did the mockup of how I build a gallery wall with the canvas wall in my entryway.

The entryway reveal was a favorite of the year as well. That one is so interesting to me because, although it's so incredibly cuter, more my style and just overall better in general, I still feel like I haven't quite figured out the space.

That being said, there are absolutely things about the space that I love! Hello gorgeous artwork, all the doors and hardware and the photo canvases. I really adore those pieces.

One of the rooms that I knew would be popular (I'm not conceited, I promise!), was the $87 Bathroom Nook Update. When you take a space from crazy ugly to calming and a place that fits in most homes all for under $100... people tend to get inspired. You guys were inspired and I felt major love on this project.

Part of that project was the DIY Light which also landed on the Top 10 Modern House Projects of 2017!

You'll be seeing a bit more of that light in my next makeover because I'm making it again! It's such an easy DIY and a cheap one too so it's happening again in my next $100 makeover challenge.

Directly to the left of this space is our master closet and it landed on the list as well. Goodbye messy closet and hello organization!

I enjoy the closet every single day. Seriously, I absolutely love having it organized and it stays organized which is GREAT!

Luke filmed a tutorial for how to run cables behind the wall so that you don't have cables hanging from a wall-mounted tv.

We all have issues with cord clutter so I wasn't surprised to see this one be popular.

One of the most frequent questions I get is how I find affordable vintage rugs. I wrote a blog post in 2016 on how to find cheap vintage rugs but then, I followed that up with exactly how to refine your searches on eBay, Etsy, etc.
