Awesome before and after projects (and link up your own!)

Hello all! Guess what?! It's the first Monday of the month and I remembered that it's the day of the Before and After Link Up! I haven't been great at getting this up on time the past few nine months so this is a big deal for me. I'm getting old. ;)

As always, I show off some of the awesome projects linked up from last month first. I was blown away by April's pretty kitchen makeover!:

SO lovely! I love all of her little details in this space -- those lights and the chairs are my favorites.

If you are considering a kitchen makeover but the cost of new countertops is too much, you need to check out Jennifer's post on how to build your own laminate counters:

Laminate has come such a long way! Doesn't that look like soap stone? She shares a great tutorial on how to do this project -- it's a fraction of the cost of buying them ready-made. 

Jenny shared a couple more awesome kitchen makeovers -- if you remember she's the one who came over and taught me how to paint our kitchen cabinets like a pro. She has been busy painting oak cabinets left and right since then!:

I LOVE these dark gray cabinets with the pretty white backsplash! 

Megan showed how they built a DIY countertop over their front loaders in the laundry room:

I know many want to do the same and she shares every step of the process. What a great, spacious spot to stand and fold clothes!

Samantha shared her home dressed up for fall and her dining room is such a pretty space!:

Becca's sunroom is gorgeous -- they added a little something to this space that added to the character even more:

Oh man, I want to get cozy on that sofa and read for hours! This is such a peaceful room.

If you'd like to be considered for next month's round up, please link to TDC in your post or you can copy and paste this code into your post:

Now let's see what you've been up to recently! Can you believe we only have two months left of 2016? It's blowing my mind!

How to install stacked stone tile on a fireplace wall

Hey all! I've been working my butt off (I wish literally) on this fireplace tile project in the basement! If you remember I last left you with the new mantel and hearth :  Those tiles were just leaned up against there so I started with that bottom part -- because it was the easiest. :)  I've been working on it on and off on this for the past couple of weeks and finally hit it hard again yesterday. I was so hoping to get it done but I ran out of steam. Today is the day! I'm determined!  This is the stone we're using, from Lowe's:  I've had to visit three different locations to find enough to use because some batches are more pinky toned than others. I prefer the more natural tones so I've had to mix and match boxes. The great thing about this stone is it looks fantastic no matter what!  This is the adhesive I used, from Home Depot:  This stuff is awesome and SO much easier than mixing thinset. You pay a little more but save in time and mess. It's nice th...

The beautiful color trending this year (it's my favorite!)

Hello! Are you ready for the weekend? I'll be working on a fun project in the basement -- I hope to share it with you next week!  I kind of can't believe it but it's true...I am ahead of the game with a decor trend. This NEVER happens. Usually I'll sit by and watch to see if I really like something -- for years -- and buy into some of them when they're not even trendy anymore. It's my thing.  But THIS time I am right there in it and even though I don't find it "trendy" at all, the color BLUE is all the rage this spring. I think it will continue on throughout the year so if you are a blue lover, rejoice! We are cutting edge my friends! :)  What I think is particularly funny is I used to say I'd NEVER add blue to our home . I disliked it very much. But minds can change and for years now I've been obsessed with it. You'll find various tones of blue in every room of our home. I also think it's funny that just in the past few weeks I...
