The After Party Wrap Up

First of all, let me say that I was shocked by the number of amazing "Before & After" projects that were linked up to the first "After Party"!

Honestly I was only expecting a handful of participants, 
so I was very pleasantly surprised to see 27 awesome people linked up! 

So THANK YOU for making it a smashing success :)

There were so many great makeover projects that it's hard to pick the highlights, 
but here are a few that made my jaw drop they were so amazing...

Beth {Beach Cottage in the Desert} & her husband have been hard at work 
transforming their home into the cutest cottage. 
Isn't their kitchen makeover amazing!?
I especially LOVE the pantry they built.

Ann Marie {Twice Lovely} turned a $15 dresser into a piece of artwork.
I'm dying to find a piece of furniture that I can put chevron stripes on like that.
So cute!

My friend Emily {Cam and Emily} and her man have been  building up some sweat equity 
and adding some character to their first house. 
Their family room/dining room makeover is gorgeous, especially those dark wood floors!

Andrea {Oak Ridge Revival} got creative with a $15 thrift store mirror 
and turned it into a super cute way to display pictures and such.
How clever!

Lindsay {Country Girl Home}  put two separate pieces together 
{the dresser and hutch just happened to fit together perfectly!} 
and gave them a fabulous makeover.
I love the chicken wire she used to cover the doors - great idea!

How lucky was Tracie {Tale of Many Cities} to find this storage cubby in her own garage!?
A little sanding, some paint and accessorizing and it looks great in her made-over office!

There were many more amazing projects that you can check out HERE.

Thanks again to everyone who linked up!

I'm looking forward to seeing many more fabulous BEFORE & AFTER projects 
at the next After Party, which will be held the first Thursday of April {April 7th}.
Hope to see you there!

  1. It is always fantastic, what is possible with imagination and good will. Clearly, it is easy to go into a store and buy something. But much more fun is coming by do-it-yourself. And each project is unique ;)

  5. Thanks for featuring our kitchen makeover Erin!! I didn't even realize that you had, as I have been so busy lately that I haven't had much time for blogging.
    Hope you have a wonderful day!
