Well thank you so much for the lovely comments on the new blog design! I really, really appreciate them. It’s a little nerve-racking to make a big change like that and your support helps a ton! Does it still feel like you’re in the wrong place? ;) I’m finally getting more used to it now. I’m still tweaking a few things but for the most part the big work is done.
It’s time to kick off the month of May (May the 4th be with you – I had to do it) with another Before and After linky! Bloggers are usually the only ones able to link up but now anyone with Instagram can as well! Check out the how-to here. Cool feature!
Anyway, as always I’m sharing a few of the awesome projects from last month’s party first. Tara’s home tour was just lovely and her foyer is so beautiful:
Doesn’t that just feel so cozy and welcoming? I love it.
Sarah shared a spring tour of her beautiful home as well:
I’ve always been a fan of her home. So pretty!
Brandi made some simple updates to her mud/laundry room that I loved – especially the painted door:
I am a sucker for a door with a window, especially in a mud room. Brandi’s simple changes make the space function well, but the room still looks great! My favorite combo. :)
Trish shared her kitchen renovation and it is a stunner! Such a big transformation:
Wow! The wood shelves are my favorite part I think. :)
Jill shared her kitchen renovation as well – that took her five years. This is a girl after my own heart, I tell you what!:
You have to check out her gorgeous DIY range hood and the countertops on her island. (My two favorite parts.)
We’ll finish up with two big stairway transformations. Anne’s entry got a big update with the gorgeous new balusters she installed:
Major props – she did those all on her own! That’s some big time talent and patience. :)
And finally, Sage shared her stairwell makeover as well, this time with some color!
You have to see the before to really appreciate how far this space has come!
Now it’s time to see what you’ve been up to lately! Let me know if you try out the Instagram option! If you’d like to be considered for next month’s round up, please include a link to TDC or this code in your post:

There will be a new button soon that will go with the new design. :)
Go ahead and link up projects here:

ReplyDeleteLove your new look, Sarah! Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteLots of great project inspiration here today. I was especially struck by Trisha's kitchen makeover with those wood shelves between the white cabinets. I wouldn't have thought to do that, but they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI haven't joined a linky party in ages but thought it would be fun to play along today. I added the small bedroom makeover we just finished in our house with new shiplap walls. Thanks for hosting, Sarah! :)
