Some days I feel like I have SO many things on my project to-do list that I feel completely and utterly overwhelmed. My living room is still far from where I want it, our master bedroom hasn’t been touched since the day we moved in (almost 3 years ago), and the dining room is not at all functional for us right now… will I ever feel like our house is “finished”?
But then I started looking back at all the projects we’ve completed over the past year and realized just how far we’ve come. I’m so proud of all the changes we’ve made to the house thus far, and I cannot WAIT to show you all the things we have in store for 2015!
So today we’re looking back at the most popular projects to hit the blog this year voted by YOU! (You can find our Top 10 Recipe List here!) I hope you find some of your favorite projects in this list and even find some new ones to tackle. But before we dive into the countdown, I have one little favor I need to ask from you…
Your feedback is really important to me, and I want to create the best blog I can for you! Once you’re done reading through this post, could you please leave me a comment and tell me what projects/rooms you loved from this year and/or what you would LOVE to see on Love Grows Wild in 2015? Thank you so much!

I do too, Katy! I’ve moved that ladder all over my house, even out to the front porch this year! Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
Truthfully, of these you have listed, I like the desk the most. My absolute favorite, though, is the desk chair that you recovered. Never in my wildest thoughts would I have even thought it was possible to recover one of those chairs. And I sit on one every week day!
All the best for your upcoming projects in 2015. I am also busy revamping my house and making it all my own. And your ideas are terrific. I also appreciate your instructions and photos.
