A look back at the top posts from 2021!

Happy New Year, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s Eve! As many of you know I took the past week and a half off from blogging and social media. I just needed a break with my family and the dogs. We stayed home and enjoyed a very quiet holiday. We took many long walks with the dogs and despite hoping for lots of snow days, it rained most days.

Before I start sharing new content with you (I currently don’t have anything new YET), I wanted to take a look back at 2021! It was a hard year for our family. We said good bye to Luke’s father and aunt in February so it started off on a very sad note for us. We didn’t do lots of DIY or home projects but did focus on decor, design, and watercolors! I took the month of August off to focus on watercolor and creating some new products for our online shop including: our watercolor calendar (which is almost sold out -only 3 left while I type this), new note cards, and notepads. I’ll be adding more to our online shop soon! It is my goal to branch out into surface pattern design and I have big dreams of publishing a watercolor illustrated books. I’m putting it out there just in case the universe needs to hear it! My book proposal is almost done and I’ll be approaching literary agents. Wish we me luck with that!

3. Discovering Maine’s Hidden Gems

Our first vacation in 2 years and, boy, did we need it! We went further up North in Maine than I’d ever been before. We learned first-hand why Maine is known as Vacationland. From antiquing to delicious seafood, lovely beach days, and the most beautiful botanical garden we’ve ever seen. It was the perfect week-long getaway.

4. Watercolor Fall Leaf Printable

I find painting with watercolor relaxing and I love sharing what I learn with you! Leaves are so fun to paint in watercolor. If you’d like to start your own watercolor practice these are my must-have watercolor supplies.

This was our summer home tour post. This was inside our home and tips for getting summer-ready. All very coastal ideas 😉 You might also like our summer outdoor tour which didn’t make it to the top 7. In January I always dream of summer days by the sea and being out by our pool….

6. Wisteria Tablescape

We’re hoping to redo our deck this year (fingers crossed), which means this might be last time you’ll see this wisteria…

7. Traditional Christmas Home Tour

It seems you guys like to see our home decorated for the holidays! I must admit I still need to take the trees down.
