These past two weeks I have been in the process of going through every single post ever written for Decor To Adore. I am fixing broken links, etc. It is a daunting task to be sure. (So far I have only completed posts written in 2008 and 2009.) But it has also been a fun rediscovery. I realized that I have participated in Southern Hospitality’s “Best of” party every single year. This year is no exception. I bring you The Best Posts of 2017.
The Best Posts of 2017
This year I have opted to select posts of projects that were highly pinned or greatly featured at various linky parties. We will begin with January 2017 and the Victorian Inspired Lace Table Runner.
February showcased easy and romantic Pretty Pearl Hearts.
March brought forth a Spring Home Tour of Storybook Cottage.
In April I wrote that I was considering Using Shiplap in the Guest Bathroom. DTA readers had some wonderful suggestions and strong opinions.
Stay tuned! This project is due to commence in April.
It was hard to narrow down a fan favorite post in May. Project wise the DIY Desk and Shelving Unit was a hit.
But longtime DTA readers know I am a huge Royal family fan and adored the coverage of The Society Wedding of the Year.
Stay Tuned! A beloved series, Royal Wedding Wednesdays, will begin again in January.
Hands down the 2017 Summer Home Tour was the favorite post in June.
In July I FINALLY achieved what seemed like an impossible 30-year goal. It was the Ultimate DIY Part II.
August covered recent trips to Haven and New York City.
In September it was time for another home tour. This one featured a fall themed charcuterie board in the kitchen.
Every October I create budget-minded his and her historical costumes using things found at estate sales and thrift stores. This years theme was The Roaring 20’s.
November featured the reveal of the ORC Grimy Shed Turned Pop Up Shoppe.
We will end this year’s highlights with your favorite December post, our home decorated for the season. The theme this year was inspired by an old-fashioned Dickens Christmas.
Here’s to 2018!
I hope you have enjoyed this look back at the post of Christmas past and much more. May you have a very Happy and Healthy New Year!

What a fabulous look back Laura. You accomplished quite a lot this past year.
I loved all of these posts, so well done and so inspiring. Happy New Year Dear Friend.
Nice memories! I’m hoping to do something similar on my blog before the end of the year. I also need to go back through old posts and tidy up, too, but with eleven years worth of posts, it’s a daunting task. I have done so with a couple of oft-read posts, though. Happy 2018 to you!
Laura, just peeking back at your posts of 2018 reminds me of how creative and hard working you are! Keep it up girl! You always inspire us.
Hi Laura, These photos are wonderful. May the Lord richly bless you and yours in the new year. xoxo
So much great inspiration from Story Book Cottage in 2017. Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next year!
Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2018, Laura!
How fun to revisit some of your top posts — certainly some of these were on my favorites list, too! I look forward to 2018 and what treats you will bring us!
Laura, best wishes for a wonderful 2018 for the decor family. I so look forward to all your posts and to all the great ideas that you freely dispense. Sincerely, Dixie Lee
Hi Laura,!
I am looking forward to RWW starting again! I work at a college and our Reunion Weekend is the same weekend as Harry & Meghan’s wedding. I’ve volunteered to organize a “Royal Wedding Watch Party” in the early hours of May 19th! I’ll let you know how it goes 🙂
Simply wonderful, Laura. I so enjoyed getting to know you a little this past year and reading your beautiful blog. You really stand out.
