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.

A Mediocre Life?

I read something a few weeks ago that really spoke to me -- it was one of those articles that makes you nod your head and yell "HECK YEAH!" as you read it.  It's called What if All I Want is a Mediocre Life and you can find it here -- it's a fast read and I'll wait while you go take a look. ;)  My only hesitation with the post is the use of the word mediocre. I could not agree more with everything she said, and it describes my outlook on life well. But my life is anything but mediocre. The definition of that word is "of only moderate quality, not very good." My life and what I do with it is anything but.  I have a content life. Replace "mediocre" with "content" and I'm on board.  I am not a woman of extremes, I do not always strive to be the best I can be. I do not tackle each day with intensity. I wake up and realize I get to do what I love -- be with my family, work on my home, visit with friends and write to you all. And I fin...

How to remove baseboards (the easy way)

Well I'm thrilled because a project I've been itching to start for years now has finally started!! Our loft is a great big space that has always felt underutilized to me. I really hate not using rooms to their full potential (even if my way is not how they're supposed to be used ).  When we knocked down a wall in our family room a few years ago I lost my office, which really hasn't been a big deal. I don't mind it (I blog from a comfy chair most days) but I would like to have a central location for all things office, crafts and wrapping. This room will be a space for all of those -- plus some.  My hope is it will be a fun work space for me when I need to "get away," for our boy to work on projects or homework, a craft area, wrapping station and we'll also have a sofa up here so we can just relax if we want. It will be a much more girly space though and I'm super excited about that!  Here's how this view looked about a year ago:  This room is th...
