September Before and After Party!

Hello hello! It’s time again! Doesn’t it feel like we just did this three days ago with the August Before and After Party? It does to me. The holidays will be here in a blink…it’s unreal.

It’s time to do it again peeps, and like always I want to share just a few of the projects that caught my eye from last month. I’m blown away, yet again. You all inspire the socks off of me!

First up, you have to check out Kim’s kitchen redo:

I really love what she did on the ceiling! It’s a huge transformation and she did every single bit of it herself – even electrical! And you’ll never guess where she got her backsplash tile (I didn’t even know they sold tile).

I loved this simple update Mary made to regular lamp shades:

She was inspired by Pottery Barn and I like her version even better. ;)

I couldn’t resist sharing another kitchen redo, just because I loved Jessica’s butcher block and beadboard island so:

Check out all the details here!

Cassie painted over her orangish walls and wow, what a difference it made!:

I’m familiar with the orange walls…and painting over them. ;) I really love all the color in Cassie’s home. Lovely.

Hold on to your seats people…I was oohing and ahhing over each picture of Carolyn’s living room redo:

Gah!! Can you even believe how beautiful?

OK, I couldn’t resist one more pic:

Do you blame me?? Hahllooooo House Beautiful, are you seeing this?

I think Amanda’s “faux” butcher block idea is brilliant:

Go here to see how they did it – if you’re handy I bet you could do this too!

And finally, I couldn’t believe how amazing Paula’s tile looked after refreshing her grout:

It seems like a fairly simple process – she shows you how it’s done here.

Awesome huh? I love seeing all of your talent every month! As always, if you’d like to pin these projects and spaces, please to go the respective sites to do so, to insure they get credit for their efforts.

If you’d like to be considered for a highlight in next month’s recap, be sure to add this cutie button to your post:
