Before and After Party (Just a Little Late!)

Well hello there! So yet AGAIN I forgot about the before and after link up this month. I did the same thing in January -- I seriously have no idea why I keep doing that. I've been hosting this shindig for about five years and I've never forgotten this much!

Soooo…here we go. :) A little late but let's do this thing. I really love looking through all of your posts every month and yet again I was so impressed with what you all create! Sharon's mudroom is one of my favorites: 
black interior doors

I loved every bit of it but you know my favorite part was the black door. It is such a big statement for so little money! 

Jaime shared a brilliant drawer DIY project -- she used it for water bottles but you could use the same concept for any organizational needs: 
DIY drawer dividers

I've been planning pull out drawers like this in both our kitchen and master closet -- I know they will make a huge difference!

Jenny shared a HUGE kitchen transformation that she worked on and it is stunning:
Painting kitchen cabinets

She helped me paint my kitchen cabinets last year and her advice was so helpful! She is a pro!

I just had to share Tami's sweet upcycle project -- so cute!:
DIY play kitchen
My son loved his play kitchen as a toddler so this would be great for girls or boys!

I was so thrilled Kelli shared her final kitchen renovation -- we were going through the process at the same time and picked a lot of the same finishes:
Two toned kitchen redo

It is so lovely! I love her red accents. You have to check out the before too!

Laura's dining room makeover is beautiful and she saved a TON by waiting till items were on sale:
Rustic dining room makeover
I love that beautiful wood table and that wall color is lovely.

And finally, but certainly not least, this tutorial on how to add legs to your island is so helpful:
Adding legs to an island

Nicki's island looks fantastic with those chunky legs -- this is a fairly easy DIY project that really adds a custom touch to your kitchen.

Awesome projects as always! Thanks for linking up every month! If you'd like to be considered for next month's highlight, copy and paste this into your post or add a link:

Now it's time to see what you've been up to for the past month six weeks. :) Please make sure your posts include a before and after shot and are photos of your own work.

My favorite recent projects and posts!

Well hello! Hope you have a wonderful weekend planned! I'm back with another round up of posts from the past few months today. I used to do this monthly but I don't remember to do it most of the time -- so now you get them in batches of two or three months. ;) It's always nice to look back and what I've accomplished around here and it may show you something you've missed! I finished up our loft makeover at the end of the summer -- I shared how I made the giant chalkboard for this space: This is a room that's meant for the whole family so I wanted to make it a fun space. We created a Disney art wall that we'll add to over time. We are going back to Disney World soon and I can't wait to add new memories to this wall!: You can see how we made that Disney pin art in that post as well!  I showed you how I made the large desk with butcher block and how I finished it here :  I also shared my new favorite sanding technique in that post -- it is a SUPER cool tr...

DIY stacked stone fireplace (where there was none!)

Well hello! I have a BIG reveal for you today! I worked so hard on this basement fireplace and I'm so so SO thrilled it's done. I'm excited to share it with you today! I took a ridiculous amount of photos so bear with me. :)  I'll show you where we started first! We have this little bump out in our basement and from day one we knew what we wanted to do with it. When we finished the basement years ago we went ahead and bought an electric fireplace for that spot. It sat on a bench for four years. 😁 A few months ago we decided to have the fireplace built in since the whole space was torn up for the new floors anyway:  Then I was craving a little more traditional look so we had the hearth added along with a mantel:  Then it was time for me to do the rest! I knew I needed to stain the mantel and hearth before I tiled -- it would have gotten all over the tile otherwise. I sanded both down and then cleaned them really well. A wet paper towel does fine:  I ALWAYS use a pre...

Fabric and Pillow Cover Sale!

Hey all! Hope your weekend was wonderful! We were out of town this weekend for a quick trip to NYC and it was a much needed break. We had a blast! As I mentioned last week, I've been busy working on purging our whole house . It's a process I thought would maybe take a few weeks and it's been spread over about seven months. :) I'm working on the craft room now because it will be torn apart in about a week when we have the new floors installed in there. Whoohoo! I have so many cute fabrics that I've used (and some I haven't used) that I don't need anymore. There's something about fabric -- I just hate to give it away, especially when I've shared some of these with you over the years. So as I've done in the past, I'm listing them for sale here for some of you to enjoy.  If you are interested in any of these fabrics or pillow covers here is the process:  1. Email me (thriftydecorchick (at) gmail (dot) com) with the name I put under the fabric as ...
