May Before and After Party!

Hey hey all! How was your weekend? Ours was fantastic!

Welcome to another Before and After Party to kick off the month! I’m sharing a few of your awesome projects from last month first today and then you’ll be able to link up yours!

First up – I loved how simple (and cheap!) Angie’s mirror project was!:

mirror from a plate charger

It’s one of those ideas that makes you wonder why in the heck you didn’t think of it??

Julie added a few spring updates to her gorgeous dining room:

traditional blue dining room

LOVE that room! So classic and pretty!

Ann made some simple changes to her dining room as well:

yellow traditional dining room

Again, what a pretty space!

You won’t even believe how this beautiful mirrored dresser of Laura’s started out!:

DIY mirrored nightstand

Seriously, you have to go see the before – amazing job!

Elizabeth shared her gorgeous, bright kitchen redo:

white kitchen redo

This is another one where you have to go see the before to truly appreciate the transformation. ;)

I LOVED this sweet boy’s room of Janel’s:

scalloped wall stencilIsn’t that so much fun? What a cool room for a little boy! 

And finally, but certainly not least – I couldn’t believe Nicki’s new kitchen backsplash:

Painted tile backsplash

I couldn't believe it because it’s not tile. ;) Awesome!

As always, if you’d like to pin these awesome projects and spaces, please do so from their respective sites.

Now it’s time to see what you’ve been up to this month! If you’d like to be considered in next month’s review, please ad a link or the html for this button to your post:

    Yeah I linked up! Since it has been so long I thought it would be okay to link up two projects :-)
    Great party! I'll have fun browsing all that creativity.

    Hey sweet Sarah! Thank you so much for hosting this party. It's been awhile since I got to link up, but I'm proud to be here today. FINALLY I got something finished at my house--a laundry room re-do that was so much needed! Now maybe I'll be energized to get some more things done around here! :)

    Hope you have a wonderful day!

    You are SO right!! I have noticed an increase in the prices at thrift stores for sure. Sometimes the prices are higher than purchasing the item new, crazy! Thank you for a great party too

    xo, Tanya
