As we celebrate our two-year blogiversary, we wanted to share some of the statistics that make us smile, occasionally blush, and often simply marvel at how far this site has come. These numbers tell the story of our work, our readers, and the little community that has grown around this blog. Here’s a clear breakdown of the highlights from the past two years.

1006 – The total number of posts we’ve published so far. It feels incredible to see this milestone, especially when we remember that on our first blogiversary we had published 380 posts. Consistently creating content has been a major focus for us.

68,025 – The number of comments we’ve received from you, our wonderful readers. Your feedback, questions, and encouragement make every post more rewarding.

19,206 – The spam comments that our stellar spam filter has intercepted. We appreciate the protection—no unsolicited images or spammy links on our watch, thank you very much.

3,507 – The comment questions we’ve personally answered to date. We aim to respond to as many queries as possible because engaging with our audience is a priority.

78 – The average number of reader emails we receive each day. We do our best to read and reply to these messages, and they help shape future content ideas and improvements.

14 – The number of posts we try to keep lined up in the pipeline at all times. Having a backlog helps us stay consistent and ensures a steady flow of fresh content for our readers.

2 – The number of weekdays we didn’t publish in the past year. Once was to allow everyone time to read this announcement, and the other time was a full day lost to a server crash that left the site down for the entire day. It was a rough week, but we bounced back.

44 – The total number of weekly giveaways we’ve hosted since launching them in December. These promotions have been a fun way to give back to readers and partner with brands we love.

$6,233 – The combined monetary value of all the giveaways and freebies we’ve offered so far. This total recently passed the $6,000 mark thanks to a generous gift card included in one of our recent giveaways.

49 – Our average number of posts per month. This frequency reflects our commitment to offering regular, useful, and entertaining content across a range of home-related topics.

15 – The number of videos we’ve put together since setting a goal to share one per week. Video content has been an important complement to our written posts and tutorials.

229 – The total number of projects linked on our How To page. This collection serves as a practical archive for readers searching for step-by-step guides and project inspiration.

15 – The number of homes we’ve featured in our “House Crashed” series. These home tours showcase diverse styles and real-life projects, and we have more tours planned.

108 – The custom mood boards we’ve created to date. These curated boards have been a popular offering, giving readers visual direction and design ideas tailored to specific styles and spaces.

26 – The average number of minutes it takes for our custom mood boards to sell out after they go live on Monday mornings. Their quick sell-outs continue to surprise and delight us, and we appreciate the enthusiastic response.

17 – The room makeovers we’ve completed for other people, whether virtually or in person, and which we’ve collected in our Portfolio. Helping others transform their spaces is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

32 (and growing) – The major home-related makeover projects still on our to-do list. There’s always more to tackle around here, and that means more content, updates, and progress posts for readers to follow.

2.5 – The number of people who live in our house, if you count Burger, our pet, as a half. Pets are family too, and Burger’s personality certainly adds to our day-to-day life.

2.5 – The number of computers in our house, counting John’s work laptop that comes home each night as a half. Between desktop rigs and the occasional work laptop, screens are an everyday part of running a blog.

40 – An approximate count of how many times a text between me and John contains the word “clog” instead of “blog,” thanks to helpful yet mischievous auto-fill. It’s become an inside joke.

86,239 – The most pageviews we’ve recorded in a single day. That peak traffic reminded us how many readers we can reach when a post really connects.

1,621,079 – The total number of blog hits we received last month. We remain humbled by and grateful for this level of interest and engagement.

8,509,736 – The cumulative number of blog hits to date. Seeing this figure reinforces how far we’ve come and motivates us to keep improving and sharing great content.

12 – The average number of hours per day I spend on the computer working on the blog—from writing and editing to responding to emails and managing social media.

18 – The approximate number of hours per week John spends on the blog in addition to his full-time job. His extra effort behind the scenes keeps things running smoothly.

5 – The total number of steps from my desk to the couch, where we like to decompress after a long stretch of blogging with some guilty-pleasure reality TV. Small comforts matter.

So there you have it: the who, what, how many, and how often behind our two-year milestone. These stats capture a snapshot of our process, our community, and the daily realities of running this blog. If you think we missed anything you’re curious about, ask and we’ll gladly dig into the numbers and share more.
