Hi Guys,
In case you missed my note, the reason this is late is because I was very ill yesterday. And, I spent several hours in the hospital. But, I’m taking an antibiotic and am a LOT better today.
First a little business to take care before we get into the top ten Laurel Home blog posts for 2019
I don’t do this every year. But, this is going to be a list of the most read posts this year. I was going to do a list of top 10 posts that were ONLY published this year. However, out of the top 10 posts only ONE was from this year. The rest are from 2015-2018.
Six out of ten posts are about paint colors. And, three of those are about white paint.
And now, The Top Ten Laurel Home Blog Posts for 2019 (in reverse order)
