Typically, my #1 article for the year is my flagship hardwood flooring trend post (which I publish annually). But, this year, I had a nice surprise...and article that surpassed all of my flooring articles. It's about painting. My #1 article by far shows the best interior paint colors for sellin

I can't believe it's March already...especially since we keep getting snow. Hopefully, it will melt away quickly. Today's storm doesn't look so bad here in New York. I hope it's the last one of the year. I miss you Spring and can't wait to reunite. So, here I am and it's almost the Ides of Ma

Sometimes, I feel like I'm so clueless on things. I guess no one ever taught me...or it never occurred to me. A few days ago, I wrote an article about the best steam mop for tile floors. In the process, I did some research on the benefits of using a steam mop and discovered that when you use a

Close to 4 months ago, I wrote an article on the Best Paint Colors to Sell Your House. I put a lot of time and effort in creating the article and the graphics to go with it, and it's a very thorough post. After I wrote it, I thought, what the heck am I doing. I'm never going to rank for a paint

Have you noticed the Farmhouse Decor trend? It's been on the rise for the last several years, and if you use Pinterest, you'll see Farmhouse style items all of the place. Farmhouse style is a very specific taste, and it's not for everyone. But, those who love it, really love it. Why? Because

One of the best things you can do for your website is to periodically go back and optimize some of your articles. I generally start with my top articles (I look at my Top 10 articles). I look for opportunities where I'm doing well...and where I think I can do better. Truthfully, I should be doi

I can't believe January is more than half over, and I'm just getting around to posting last month's round ups. I have been so busy December and January and I'm just trying to get caught up. On December 10th, my website crashed from a large surge in traffic. It wasn't fun. It was 4-5 days of ch
