The July before and after link up (I remembered!)

Well HELLO! How was your holiday weekend? Great I hope! Ours was so much fun and relaxing at the same time. Just the way I like my weekends.

I got literally nothing done and as nice as that was I'm anxious to get moving on things this week. But first, I actually remembered the before and and after party this month! Someone give me a sticker! Seriously, I don't know WHAT is wrong with me. Turning 40 makes my mind mush I guess. Two months in a row I forgot.

So I'm finally back into it here and I can't wait to see what you've been up to. Of course first I have some awesome projects to share with you by some really talented bloggers from the last time we did this thing.

Monica's fireplace makeover is just gorgeous -- I don't think it could get any better:
Adding surround to brick fireplace

I've been eyeing that stunning tile for a project and this may have solidified it.

Kathy had a dark kitchen set and she didn't just paint it like I would do -- she added beautiful and unexpected details that I love:
Painting kitchen table set
I especially love the feet!

Holly shared her living room progress -- her furniture choices and accents are lovely:
Seagrass rug gray walls
I LOVE those tables and must have them.

Angela added some new flooring over the old stuff in her bathroom and it looks fabulous (it isn't real wood!):
Vinyl flooring that looks like wood
I can't believe how much this looks like real weathered wood. Love this simple update.

Yuni's pretty bedroom makeover is so relaxing:
Gray and purple accents in bedroom

I love the combo of gray, gold and purple!

My friend Jenny hit it out of the park again with another kitchen makeover:
Painting kitchen cabinets white
This was a smaller one and the changes made a HUGE difference in here. Love it.

I also loved this fun bathroom makeover that Laura did for her kids:
Aqua penny tile with subway tile

The shower curtain is adorable and I'm such a sucker for penny tile. I like how she used it as an accent in the niches. 

There you go! I love looking through your posts ever month! If you'd like to be considered for next month's round up, please include a link back to TDC or copy and paste this button code into your post:

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...

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...

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 ...
