September before and after round up

Hello hello! It’s time again -- I like 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:
oak to white cabinet 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:
pottery barn inspired lamp shade

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!:
zebra rug

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:
white walls decor

Gah!! Can you even believe how beautiful?

OK, I couldn’t resist one more pic:
seagrass rug

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, so they get credit for their efforts.

    I'm so disappointed that you went to a partial feed for Readers. :( I loved being able to read the whole post in my google reader, now all that shows up is the title of the post.

    Anon, as far as I know there is no way to do that in Blogger. Actually, I can, but then I would have to truncate my posts on my blog and I won't do that. Until I switch to WP that won't be an option for me.
