October before and after projects! (Link up your own!)

Hello all! I've been sick for the past four days and am finally feeling a bit better today. It was so odd -- I'd feel OK, then not, then OK, then really not. It's been years since I've been this sick but I am hoping I'm finally on the mend.

Because I've obviously started losing it a little in my old age and I forgot about the monthly before and after link up again this month...I'm getting it up today. Let's just say I'll aim for the first Monday of the month but I may just surprise you...who knows when it will be? I like to keep you on your toes.

As always, I like to share some of the awesome projects that were linked up last month before we kick off this one. And as always, there were some amazing projects shared!

Sue's kitchen renovation was dramatic and turned out beautifully:

I LOVE her backsplash tile! This is such a bright, pretty space. 

Kim and her husband created the coolest pegboard storage wall for her son:

You'll have to see how they are using it -- this thing is awesome! (And I love that they painted the ends of the pegs different colors.) I'm thinking this may work for all the Nerf guns in our house!

Emily's kitchen renovation consisted of a few changes that made a big difference! Light gray cabinets, new lights and that awesome laundry door look great:

I'm always intrigued at what's going on at Kammy's house. They uncovered a root cellar and landscaped around it:

And now I want a root cellar! This turned into such a lovely spot! (You have to see the before pics to see how far it's come.)

I LOVE Breann's DIY driveway sign:

She shares all the steps for the structure and the sign in the post. This is too cute. 

Carli made over her daughter's room into a sweet space with great functionality:

Her daughter is precious and her reaction was adorable too. :) 

Karrah saw a hall table she loved and worked with a fellow blogger to come up with plans for this piece:

I love the coastal vibe the ropes add to this table! You all never disappoint with fun, useful and pretty projects!

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...
