April Before and After Party!

Hey hey! Happy April to ya! It’s time for another before and after link up, no foolin’. ;)

I seriously could not stop this time – there were SO MANY awesome projects/rooms linked up last month. It was so hard to narrow it down to a few for this post.

I’m so impressed with you all, for real.

Laura’s breakfast room had me swooning – it’s just gorgeous:

I love the switched things up – this space use to be their family room, but they found this works better. It’s your house – do what you want!

Jenny and her family have moved in to a new house, but she reminisced about her old family room:

green blue rug

I LOVE that rug, so pretty!

I’m also loving Heather’s guest room makeover and that dark blue accent wall:

I need some guests to plan a visit so I can get motivated to work our guest room!!

Shannon reorganized her linen closet without spending any cash and it turned out so pretty!:

She DIY’d those labels too – so cute!

I love the pretty aqua blue color in Gwen’s family room, and all of the color throughout:

There were so many awesome DIY projects too, and these two rolling cart projects caught my eye – first, Julie’s rolling shoe storage:

rolling shoe drawers

GAH. That is the way to a woman’s heart, I tell you what. Hiding the shoes is a wonderful thing.

And Jacque turned wine crates into rolling storage as well:

Brilliant! Both are so functional and pretty!

There were some beautiful kitchen projects last month as well, like Jena’s new DIY’d kitchen:

white kitchen cabinets

Love the pops of green, it is a lovely space!

Emily’s kitchen looks great too:

I really love her new countertops! (Can you believe they aren’t granite?)

And finally (I could have kept going, believe me!), I loved Megan’s cute and organized laundry room redo:

Laundry Room Makeover

SO fun! That laundry caddy had me giggling. I may have to steal that.

See? So many awesome projects!! Of course, if you’d like to pin these projects, please do so from their sites.

If you’d like to be considered for a highlight in next month’s before and after party, please link to TDC in your post. You can link however you’d like, but this button makes it easy:

    LOL! Sarah, too funny about your comment in regards to hiding shoes. I must admit, it is so true. ;) My mind has peace when things are put away / hidden from view. lol Thank you so very much for featuring the rolling shoe storage! Woo-Hoo! I agree, there are so many awesome projects! I forget to do my own projects sometimes because I have so much fun looking at other blogs. lol

    Have a super fantastic week! How is it April already? Sigh. lol ;)
