December before and after!

Hi there! Welcome back! :)

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday week! We had a blast – we took off for a quick trip to Disney early last week. I fell in love with it hard earlier this year and wanted to go back to see it decked out for the holidays. It was incredible! The only bad part was getting food poisoning from a waffle on Monday and the Bub and I being out of commission all day Tuesday. Being sick at Disney pretty much sucks.

The kiddo didn’t eat nearly as much of it as I did so he was over it pretty fast. It took me till Saturday to feel 100 percent again. Even so, we had a GREAT week and I am so thankful.

OK, it’s the start of the month and that means another before and after party – are you ready? I picked out just a few of the incredible projects you all linked up last month to share today.

I adore Jennifer’s pick of wallpaper for her basement bathroom:

Heck, I love all of it! But I love that she was daring with the wallpaper – it paid off.

Anita is a brave soul -- she spray painted her countertops:

They turned out SO good! They look like a solid surface material now, so crazy.

There were so many great kitchen posts! I couldn’t believe the difference taking down some cabinets made in Rachel’s kitchen:

It was pretty before anyway, but this change made it so open and airy.

Liz’s before and after is so dramatic, you have to go see how it looked to fully grasp the change:

Paint my peeps – it will rock your world. :)

This beautiful space at Domestic Charm was transformed with paint too:

I especially love how you don’t even notice the TV – she painted the backs of the built ins a dark color and now it disappears! Brilliant.

Kristen is renting and did a lovely job decorating her daughter's room without doing anything permanent: 

I love how that wood wall looks behind the bed!

And finally Amy painted some stripes in her entryway and I love the contrast:

Stripes are a classic and these are so well done!

Well you wowed me again everybody! I wish I could share them all. If you missed any of the projects you can check them out here.

It’s time to link up your latest before and afters! I can’t wait to see what Christmas decor you’ve been up to! (Hint hint.) ;) If you’d like to be considered for the recap next month I would love a link back or you can use my button in your post:
