The Ten Best Laurel Home Blog Posts in 2022

In recent years, there has been a late December review of the best blog posts. These, of course, are for the best Laurel Home blog posts in 2022.

It isn’t easy, and there are more than ten because some of the best had follow-up or related posts. The way they were chosen is a combination of helpful information, popularity, and number of comments.

If you are interested in seeing the best of Laurel Home Blog posts for other years, here are the links:

Best posts for 2020-2021

Top 10 posts for 2019

For me, 2021 was all about getting my bearings in my new city, Boston. 2022 has been full of planning and change. Most of the changes are behind the scenes with the inner workings of my website. We rolled out a major theme update to the Laurel Home Blog at the end of August.

We also celebrated the 10th blogiversary of the Laurel Home Blog last April.

In addition, there has been a copious amount of planning concerning my impending renovation, hopefully starting in June 2023.

The fall has brought significant updates to three of the Laurel Home Guides.

As a reminder, my interior design guides are currently on sale until December 28th at 11:59 PM. In January, they are all going up in price to higher than before the sale.

THE SALE HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND WILL END DECEMBER 31, 2022 AT 11:59 PM

What’s on the agenda for 2023?

Naturally, more planning and renovation blog posts will discuss what’s happening. While many posts will cover topics related to the renovation, as I did this year, there will be topics shared unrelated to the renovation.

In the comments, please share a topic or topics you would like to see covered. As always, these are general topics, not questions about your unique situation. Although, it is fine to send me “Dear Laurel” queries that might become a blog post.

I also have a few other ideas in mind. However, I would need to send out a brief survey to find out if there’s any interest.

Okay, it’s time to share the ten best Laurel Home Blog Posts in 2022.

These are in the reverse order they appeared.

Mark D. Sikes is one of my favorite interior designers. I would hire him in a second and hand over my keys. However, not everyone can afford this A-List designer. This post is my attempt to imitate his beautiful style with pieces that, for the most part, are less expensive.

Furlow Gatewood’s genius is both unique and timeless. Every room of his is a study in how to decorate. As with Mark D. Sikes, I put together many items that imitate his classical style.
