Hi everyone!
Last week I posted a 2016 Reader’s Survey to ask about your interests and how Salvaged Inspirations can improve for you.
To all of you who took the time to chime in – THANK YOU!!!
Your feedback was enlightening and I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and ideas. The survey was anonymous, so I couldn’t comment back – but believe me – I wanted to!
You were all so kind! Even your constructive feedback couldn’t have been phrased more eloquently!
Here are the multiple choice results:
Questions 7, 8 and 9 were not multiple choice… but here is where you all touched my heart…I LOVED all your answers!
Here’s a summary in no particular order:
Question 7 – What do you like most about the SI Blog?
- Clear step by step tutorials
- Before & Afters
- Curb-shopped Redo’s
- Inspirational
- Candid Product Reviews
- Replies to comments and questions
Question 8 – What topic(s) would you like to see more of on the SI Blog?
More thrift store/curb-shopped furniture restyles and then home decor took the lead on this one. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about sharing my private space. My home has been decor-deprived for years. So truth be told, I guess I’m a little embarrassed. Having said this, you all showing an interest just might be what I need to step out of my comfort zone. And because my home hasn’t been updated in a while – it’s certainly an ideal candidate for before and afters!
Question 9 – In your opinion, how can Salvaged Inspirations improve for YOU?
This question was a little scary for me because it really opened the door for criticism. But once again, all of you were super kind and thoughtful with your responses. Most of you said you’re happy with the way the SI Blog is and there’s no improvement needed – THANK YOU!
There were a few things that were mentioned:
- A few of you brought up the old theme. How it’s not compatible with some devices and how my big mug is in the way of the comments.
- Lack of product sources was also mentioned.
- More repair topics.
ALL great points! 🙂
In my spare time, I am working on installing a new theme. The thing is I’m moving at a snail’s pace so it may be time to hire someone to help me out with this. As for listing products used, I will make sure to include them in future posts. And let’s hope I find some pretty bashed up furniture so I can include more repair topics.
Thanks again to everyone who took time out of their busy day to participate.
I really appreciate it and will do my very best to keep Salvaged Inspirations fresh, informative and fun!
To show you how much you are ALL appreciated, be sure to drop in next week. I’m working on an exciting giveaway for you!!!
Happy painting…have a wonderful day.

I was very pleased to find this web-site.I wanted to thanks for your time for this wonderful read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post.
Same here. Missed the survey. I
am always excited to read what you have posted and this is my “go to” site for help and information. It’s part of a comfortable ritual…SI blog with a nice big cup of coffee in the morning 🙂
Nice morning ritual Josie! Wish I could join you in person for that coffee. 😉 😉 😉
I’m so sorry I missed your survey, but all my answers would have been positive.I can’t imagine why anyone would have anything negative to say about you…..keep up the great work!!
You may have missed filling out the survey but this comment speaks volumes! Thank you Charlotte! <3
This was a very easy to digest recap of the survey, and you are such a gracious gal. I know that brings me to reading each post.
Glad you do this.

Thank you Rosie! 🙂 I appreciate you helping out and always love your comments. Heyyyy… I didn’t know you were from Sugar Hill! I think that may have been were my sister and I stopped on route to Savannah. Summer of 2011 or 2012 and there was a HUGE heatwave. The a/c in my car was not working and we had to stop at a strip mall to cool down. We also bought some ice for the cooler and iced ourselves while driving..lol. Fun memories and beautiful area!
Glad the results were so positive for you. As you can see by the results, you’re much loved & appreciated just the way you are. In today’s market place, so many companies promise “new & improved” but end up giving “diminished service”, “lesser quality”, “lesser quantity” etc. Thank you for doing what you do & please, please, (with a cherry on top) if at all possible for you, continue doing what you do best. Personally, I could read your posts all day!
So glad the results were positive too. And believe me what I say, it’s positive readers like yourself that make this ‘blogging-thing’ fun and engaging! Thanks Tracy. 🙂 And because you asked with a cherry on top, I’ll try to keep doing what I do best… sometimes I don’t know exactly what that is…lol…but I’ll keep trying!
