Happy weekend friends!  We have been easing back into a routine ever so slowly around here.  My kids have still been out of school this week so we are enjoying a nice mix of hanging out and relaxing plus getting on top of housework.  Next week I will be ready to hit 2018 head on!  For now.. we remember the past. :)  I’m sharing a round-up of posts from 2017!  It was such a great year.  I hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane and click on any post you missed or want to re-read.  I didn’t share every post, but I shared a lot of them so this round-up is LONG.  Grab a snack and enjoy!  I looked over some of the organizing posts again and they helped motivate me to tackle some new spaces!

If you have something you’d love to see me post about this year leave it in the comments and I’ll try to include it!  Thanks again for all of your love and support this past year!  So looking forward to sharing more with you in 2018. :)

We kicked the year off with some organizing.. of course!  I shared FIVE FAVORITE THINGS THAT KEEP ME ORGANIZED.  Some of my tried and true favorites!

Then I helped my girls whip their bathroom drawers into shape.  GIRLS’ BATHROOM – ORGANIZED DRAWERS.  I am having them do the same thing this weekend.  They have kept them much cleaner than before but bathroom drawers often need a little re-fresh!

I shared Addison’s PINK AND AQUA BLUE PRETEEN GIRL’S BEDROOM.  Then I totally spaced sharing El’s bedroom.. ha!  Pics are still sitting in a folder so they are coming this year for sure. ;)

We got ready for February with some SIMPLE VALENTINE PARTY IDEAS.  I also shared a few other ways I’ve made Valentine’s special for my family.

Then I shared my ORGANIZED DECOR CLOSET which felt so good to check off my list.  It was such a disaster!

I kicked off February by sharing my DECORATED and ORGANIZED LAUNDRY ROOM (with COLOR!).

Then we got a little personal when I shared 10 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE STRONG.  My husband and I are far from perfect, but after 20 years of marriage we’ve definitely learned what works for us!

Clearly last year was the year of closets for me!  This post on my ORGANIZED BLANKETS AND TOWELS showed how I organized this hall linen closet and my girls’ bathroom towel closet.  Happy to say those two closets are still looking good!

I shared a few KITCHEN DECOR IDEAS FOR SPRING!  I’m going to re-read that post because my kitchen is a blank slate right now just waiting for a few Spring touches. :)

In March I joined some blog friends for a fun Spring tour and shared pictures of our WHITE MASTER BATHROOM (READY FOR SPRING!).

Then I took off to LA for a few days for such a memorable trip!  I had a blast with friends, won the award Best Design Blog for 2017 (did NOT see that one coming), and turned 40.  I shared all the detains in my post DESIGN BLOGGER CONFERENCE (WHAT I WORE) AND HELLO 40!  Thank you again to everyone who voted for me for that award btw.. it meant so much to me!

I shared my powder bathroom drawers and other fun Spring touches around my house.  Posts like this are often my favorite. :)  ORGANIZED BATHROOM DRAWERS AND SPRING DECOR.

Then I shared my process for sorting through my kids’ art/school work in the post KID’S SCHOOL WORK (WHAT TO SAVE AND WHAT TO TOSS).

A SIMPLE EASTER TABLESCAPE brightened our dining room.

Then I ended the month with some fashion favorites and a 40th birthday part my darling friends gave me!  ONE SKIRT THREE WAYS, PURSE LOVE AND A BIRTHDAY TRADITION.  The gift they gave me that night is an all time favorite.  I cried a lot of tears!

I kicked off April with our MIRRORED CONSOLE TABLE (ALL GROWN UP!).  I just put this beautiful artwork back on this table yesterday after taking down the Christmas decor.  I still love it so much!

I get so many questions about the custom items in my home so I finally wrote a post with my designer/friend’s info!  She’s the best. :)  CUSTOM ITEMS IN MY HOME (HOW YOU CAN GET THEM TOO!)

Finally started decorating our guest room!  I’m excited to show you my recent progress soon.  GUEST ROOM (THE BEGINNING!)

HOW TO ORGANIZE EVERY SPACE IN YOUR HOUSE!  After almost 10 years of blogging I finally took the time to round up all of my organizing inspiration so that everything is all in one post!  Great place to start if you need some ideas for whipping your home into shape this year!

Nothing like Tory!  This bag is still a favoirte. :)  TORY BURCH FAVORITES WITH NORDSTROM

One of my favorite posts!  5 REASONS YOU CAN’T STAY ORGANIZED (AND HOW TO FIX IT!).  The reason I know why you can’t keep your home organized is because I’ve been there too!  These are the stumbling blocks I’ve dealt with over the years and how I’ve learned to work around them.

I spent the end of April at the Reward Style Conference in Dallas.  Good times!  I was happy I finally dared to go. ;)  REWARD STYLE CONFERENCE (AND WHAT I WORE)

I kicked things off in May by sharing some new decor updates!  POTTERY BARN SMALL SPACE COLLECTION (DECOR UPDATES!)

Then we kept organizing our way through summer with pics of my ORGANIZED MASTER BATHROOM.  Nothing like clean bathroom drawers!

We did some major damage at the NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE!  The sweaters and clothes I bought last July have been on heavy rotation the past few months.  I love that sale.  Time to start saving for next summer. ;)

What!?  It’s another recipe.  Well would you look at that. ;)  FETA AND TOMATO DIP  (So good!)

We ended July with some DECOR UPDATES WITH BARN LIGHT ELECTRIC!  Lamps for Kole’s room and some new every day dishes.  Still working on manners at the breakfast table. ;)

I shared my SHIPLAP DISPLAY WALL FOR SUMMER.

SAYING GOOD-BYE TO SUMMER!  Always a favorite post to wrap up months of chaos. :)

I kicked off the new school year by sharing A DAY IN MY LIFE!  Not so glamorous but fun to document a full day!  Thinking I need to do that once a year because those are the posts that will be really fun to read in 20 years.  I hope things have slowed down by then. ;)

Then I shared more of my organized master bathroom!  ORGANIZED HAIR TOOL AND BATHROOM DRAWERS

FAVORITE FALL ACCESSORIES.  Still in love with all things Madewell!

FRESH IDEAS FOR FALL TOUR!  Remembering this post makes me wish Fall was starting all over again!

Finally finished and shared our BARN DOOR TV COVER!  It adds so much to our outdoor space.  Another project I was happy to see finally checked off my list.

FASHION FRIDAY!  ON A SATURDAY. :)  I seriously need a new title for those posts.. any ideas?  ;)

FAVORITE CHRISTMAS DECOR!  Man.. so bummed I had to put all of this away!

You know what was so funny?  This picture above was my most liked picture on Instagram from last year.  What!?  Isn’t that funny!?  I can’t figure out why.  Is it my half decorated, messy room?  The bad lighting?  My stunning look in no make-up and sweats?  Ha ha.. I’ll never understand social media!  TAPERED COLLECTION – NEW FAVORITE TEES

OFFICE CHRISTMAS DECOR WITH THE CONTAINER STORE!  One of my favorite posts this year.  Because office Christmas decor is my favorite!  And because anything to do with The Container Store just makes me so very happy. :)

I shared HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST!  Lots of fun things I gave my family and friends this year. :)

Sharing my FROSTED CHRISTMAS TREE WITH BALSAM HILL was another highlight for 2017!  Excited to finally share the rest of this room with you all.  For real this year! ;)

My last post in November was pics of my MUDROOM DECKED FOR CHRISTMAS!  Love that little tree.

Whew!  I’m going to stop there and not share December posts because they are so recent (you can see them below this post on my blog!).  I’m also putting the breaks on because this post has become a novel.  Clearly it was a busy year!  Thank you again for sharing it all with me and if you have something you’d love for me to blog about this year leave me a comment on this post!  I’m so excited about a new year for Sunny Side Up.  Good things in store!  Always.
