1 Year Blog Anniversary

in DIY & Home Decor on 10/30/18

October 30th marks the one year anniversary of Lilies and Life!!  That first year flew by and I had so much fun sharing my life with you!  I started Lilies and Life because I wanted a creative outlet and I felt that sharing our home renovations and other aspects of my life would be fun and may inspire others!  

Over the past year, I have learned that making the space you live in beautiful and unique to your style can improve your mood and give you a sense of peace!  Your home is where you spend the majority of your life, why shouldn’t it be beautiful?  

I have met so many other creative, kind and talented bloggers throughout this journey they have inspired me and become my blogger friends 🙂  The blogging community is so amazing and encouraging and I feel very thankful to be apart of the blogging world.

Thank you to my husband, David, my sister, Julie (for the proofreading and support :)), the rest of my family, friends, and followers!  I really hope you have enjoyed my posts and following along with making our house a home!  Keep following along for more DIY projects, crafts, home decor ideas and lots lots more 🙂

To celebrate my one year blog anniversary I am going to do a Round-Up of my top five favorite blog posts from Lilies and Life!

5. DIY Gallery Wall with Etsy Prints

4. DIY Hall Tree

3. Glam Christmas, New Years Tablescape

This was my first ever official tablescape and I am so proud of it!  I got to design this beauty on our new dining room table and share a delicious meal with my parents and grandparents!

2. Powder Room Remodel

This was my absolute favorite project to share with you all!  Our kitchen is my favorite room in the house and I am so excited about how it turned out!  You must check out the post to see the before pics!  It was a crazy transformation!

I call this the "Nail Hole Filling Crawl" 😂 T I call this the "Nail Hole Filling Crawl" 😂 

Today my Home Improvement Challenge is all about nail holes. Over the course of a few years, we have switched out ALL of our wood stained trim to white trim.  This led to the filling in of LOTS of nail holes.  If you know... you know...😩

(Swipe for a before pic of this space➡️)

I have asked Jeremy from @restorationvalley to give us some tips on how to fill those pesky nail holes. Want to watch his entire video? Join the challenge via the link in my bio!
