A Designer At Home: Top Posts of 2015

December 28, 2015 by CORINNA HENDERSON

Top Posts of 2015 on A Designer At Home

Hello Friends!

I’m checking in today to share the top posts of 2015 here on A Designer At Home. I try to make this site a helpful place full of inspiring and informational personal experiences. My goal is to create beautiful spaces meant for living in. Sometimes that means something as unglamorous as putting insulation in the bathroom because it gets cold in the winter and I don’t like hearing the toilet flush in the next room over. Other times it’s thrifting the perfect piece to bring the right vibe to my space. And a lot of the times it’s about buying, making, and rearranging pretty things.

I’ve been so blessed this past year to share a lot with you. In fact, this is the 100th blog post on this site! Say what? So it’s the perfect time to recap the top posts, as decided by pinterest or google and a few of my personal favorites. So which post was the most viewed this past year?

Removing Sliding Doors from a Shower

Haha! I cannot believe so many people would find my personal experience in gross mold growth and shower door removal so interesting! This is one of those things we did because we knew it was harboring something harmful to our health. And I’m loving the ease of cleaning, the pretty shower curtains I can use, and the elbow room. Shower curtains budge, glass doesn’t!

Free Watercolor Printable/Downloadable

I’m not surprised the opportunity for something free wound up being the second most viewed post on the site. I’m happy that an activity of bonding with my son ended up reaching so many people. A few have emailed me to share their creations and that makes me very happy. If you’ve had a chance to download and create something with them, I want to see! (And you can catch Holiday printables here)

How I Made It: Macrame Wall Hanging

From my “How I Made It” series, a DIY tutorial landed as the third most viewed post. Macrame is awesome and you definitely have to give it a go if you haven’t yet tried it. Thankfully the trend is still holding strong. I’ve slowly been working on another piece that I hope to share sometime soon. Leave me a comment if you want to see more macrame!

Global + Craftsman + Boho Bathroom Remodel

Personally, my favorite post has been the one where I shared this last mood board for the Bathroom renovation. We’re still slowly chugging along on that space. I’ll have more updates, tutorials, and information on that space soon. Right now the bones are in place and it’s starting to embody the vision I had.

Low budget kitchen cosmetic upgrades are in the plan for 2016. As well as bedroom and dining room furnishing and decorating. And, of course, I’ll finally be revealing the finished bathroom.

    It’s always surprising to me what happens to be the most popular! I have to go read that shower post (I missed it somehow) because I’m still on the fence about putting doors in our basement bathroom.

    I’m not surprised the shower doors post was a hit. Those things are nasty 🙂 I’ll check out that post since I’m taking the sliding doors off my shower and have to convince my husband that we do not want to replace them!

    Ooookay, we are thinking of remodeling our bathroom, and I was considering glass doors, but after reading your shower door post, I’m considering it NO MORE. Wow! I know my shower curtain liner gets kind of nasty, but I never thought about that getting trapped in the door frame instead. Yikes! I guess it kind of shows that you have to trust your guy when it comes to posts, though–you never know what will resonate!

Autumn Bucket List (Things to do in Fall)

I can feel it coming in the air tonight… Autumn is nearly here! What a joy. I start to feel the excitement when the faint hint of crispness hits the air. Fall is my favorite season. There are so many great things to do in Fall. Somehow I always miss doing activities so this year […]

Starting LDN and everything else I’ve tried for CFS so far…

I’ve been taking low dose naltrexone (ldn) for just over a month at this point and I wanted to share an update on how it’s been going thus far. I started taking ldn because I tried everything else in an attempt to feel better. At my last PCP appointment, I told him I’d be trying […]

Checkerboard: The Latest Insta-Trend

You ever first see a trend and think, “nope, not for me.” That was, and still a little, me with the checkerboard trend. I’ve never liked checkerboard walls or floors. At least not enough to semi-permanently put it somewhere in my home. But I am still in pursuit of an interior design certificate and job […]

My best Amazon Prime Purchases Ever

I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that it’s time for Amazon’s annual Prime day. And you likely don’t need me to tell you about my best Amazon Prime purchases ever. But I’m telling you, these are such good products and I got them for a steal too!

Celebrating Pride Month With LGBT Businesses

Part of mindful consumerism, for me at least, is intentionally seeking out companies founded and owned by marginalized communities.

AAPI Skincare & Beauty Haul & Demo (dry skin, fragrance sensitive)

As my mental health has improved, I’ve enjoyed getting back into my mindfulness consumerism series.

I needed face wash, serum, and oil. For […]

Simple Minty Eye Makeup Look (Indigenous Beauty Brands)

As much as I loathe dealing with fallout atop base makeup, I still always start with base makeup. But lucky for me, there’s no powder products going on my eyes today. Despite being a simpler makeup look, there’s still a lot of drama going on. A sharp cat eye winged liner elevates the eyes. And […]

Indigenous Owned Shopping Faves

You’re shopping. Here’s everything you need to be shopping for from indigenous owned brands. From beauty to fashion to accessories and body care, these products are top tier. These may be my indigenous owned shopping faves, but they’re quality from design to ingredients to workmanship.

Full Face Latinx Brands

From September 15 – October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. During this time I wanted to put together a full face of Hispanic owned beauty brands. Some of these brands are well known and others are smaller brands. I tried to find a balance of big name beauty brands and up and coming. After testing […]

Here’s My Faves for Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is upon us! It’s always my goal to be mindful of where I’m spending my money. During Heritage and Pride months, I try to make an effort to seek out brands that I may not otherwise be aware of. It’s no surprise, what’s out there is truly amazing. And I want to […]
