10 The Best Ideas for the Home of 2019 | Ideas for the Home by Kenarry

Looking for great ideas for the home? Explore the top ten most popular crafts, decor, recipes and DIY projects of 2019 featured on Ideas for the Home by Kenarry®.

As the year winds down, I love to get a little sentimental and take look back at the past year! Today we’re reflecting on the past 12 months and sharing the top 10 best ideas for the home featured on Kenarry in 2019, including the most viewed recipes, home decor, and DIY projects.

10 Best Ideas for the Home of 2019 | Ideas for the Home by Kenarry

2020 is coming up fast. Before we embark on a shiny new year full of hopes and possibilities, I always like to take a little look back to see just how far we’ve come over the last 365 days.

2019 yEAR IN REVIEW

We have so much to be grateful for this year. 2019 held many new challenges and exciting opportunities for Ideas for the Home by Kenarry®. Highlights from the past year include:

NEW INITIATIVE: 

In May, we did something crazy and purchased a short-term vacation rental home in Orlando, Florida near Walt Disney World. We named the home Sunshine Villa at Glenbrook Resort and started a second limited liability company for this new business investment. Much of our time this year has been consumed with understanding the ins/outs of running a short-term vacation rental home from afar, learning about VRBO, Airbnb, HomeAway, interacting with our guests and so much more.

You can take a virtual tour — or better yet, we invite you to be our guest and stay there in 2020. Sunshine Villa has 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, and a private pool – plus Kenarry Idea Insiders get 10% off the base rental rate. Sign up here to get the code. Then visit the Sunshine Villa website to book now.

MORE HOME ORGANIZATION PRODUCTS:

Following the launch of the new Clutter Keeper brand last year, we launched 4 additional home organization products in 2019 to go along with our popular Deluxe Hanging Gift Wrap Storage Organizer.

  • Deluxe Hanging Gift Bag Storage Organizer
  • Deluxe 15 Pocket Hanging Storage Organizer
  • Deluxe 44 Pocket Hanging Storage Organizer
  • Deluxe Storage Bags — Set of 2
High Quality Home Organization Products from Clutter Keeper

MAIN FLOOR MAKEOVER:

We shared a series of 8 blog posts about the massive main floor makeover we completed at our ranch style home in the last year. You may especially be interested to see the reveal posts for our:

  • Kitchen
  • Living Room
  • Entryway and Mudroom
  • Master Bedroom

BRAND MODIFICATION:

We made a subtle but important shift in the name of our blog. It’s always been “Kenarry” which is a combination of our first names – KEN from Kent, ARR from Carrie and the Y from our last name Ypma (pronounced EE-pma). For the first five years of Kenarry, we always listed the name side by side with our tag line – Kenarry: Ideas for the Home.

However, earlier this year, we flipped it and now refer to the website as “Ideas for the Home by Kenarry”. Sure, it’s a subtle change and may have gone unnoticed to most people but at the heart of it all, it puts the emphasis or focus on what matters most – bringing you great IDEAS FOR THE HOME.

COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS:

  • OUR CREATIVE TEAM: Sharing high-quality content day in and day out requires significant effort. We couldn’t do it without a talented team of bloggers who work along with us to bring you useful ideas for your home and family. This fall we were blessed to have 11 women commit to serving for another year on our Kenarry Creative Team.
  • TEAM MATES: In addition to our Creative Team of bloggers, we are thankful to have a team of independent contractors who actively help us to grow and achieve more than any of us could on our own. Robin Lewis, Annie Kearns, and Samantha Moltke are critical to making Ideas for the Home by Kenarry and Clutter Keeper happen day in and day out.
  • KENARRY PRODUCTS: We’ve continued to offer private label Kenarry products on Amazon in 2019.
  • NEW RECORDS: We had more than 1.9 million page views and over 1.3 million visitors to our site this year.

2019 has been a wonderful year! Kent and I both want to extend our deepest thanks to you for being part of our community. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you supporting and rooting for us. We especially feel encouraged when you share a product review, leave a blog post comment or share one of our posts on Facebook or Pinterest. It makes us smile and fuels us to keep going. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We can’t wait to share new happenings with you in the new year. If you’re not on our Idea Insider list already, we invite you to subscribe to get our Ideas In Your Inbox so you don’t miss a thing in 2020!
