Hello World!  I hope you are faring well in this first week of 2016!  It's that time across blogland where many share their top 10 posts from 2015; and I want to share the top 10 from The Dedicated House with you.

Loveseat Love with One Kings Lane

I partnered with One Kings Lane to come up with two design concepts using all of their products.  This was such a fun post to do, and I throughly enjoyed working with my contact at One Kings Lane.  To check out the concepts in depth, click here.

Dining Room Paint

Okay, so this was the first color that I had picked for the dining room and foyer.  As all of my readers know, I just could not get settled on a paint color.  This is the first time in my life that this has happened.  Click here to see the rest of this particular dining room paint.

It is Pelican Gray by Benjamin Moore and has just a touch of blue in it.  Click here to head over to see the rest of that post.

Galveston House Series - House Three

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who loves to peek into houses that are on the market.  The Galveston House series was very successful and I was quite surprised!  I guess there are more traditional gals out there like me who love a good Victorian house; or in these cases mansions.  To see more of this lovely, click here.
