October Before and Afters!

Hello all! Thank you so much for the lovely comments on my story Friday! I'm still in awe of what happened. I have been in touch with the editor of the book -- crazy! All weekend I've sat and thought about it and can't believe I just happened upon that letter.

Anyway, today is the first Monday of October (WHERE did September go so fast??) so it's time for another Before and After link up. Before we do that, I have a few fantastic projects to share from last month. If you missed it there are a ton of awesome projects and spaces waiting for you!

I stopped in my tracks when I saw Tricia's entry:

I thought these were her inspiration pics from Pottery Barn! Beautiful right? So well done!

I've been watching Sage's guest room progress and absolutely LOVE this space:

You have to go see two things -- the before pictures and the beautiful map wall in this space. LOVE!

April wanted a wood and concrete table from Restoration Hardware but didn't want to pay for it. So she made her own. Wow!:

Did I mention she did it for $200?? No? Well she did. Go check out the detailed tutorial here.

I loved every bit of this bathroom redo that Stacy did:

I love that tile and the navy vanity -- but you have to see the color she painted the vanity on her daughter's side. Love special touches like that! I bet the kids love it.

Kelli and I are working on our kitchens at the same time, and when she posted a photo of her progress on my Facebook page, I fell in love with her countertops:

So much so I looked for them when I was shopping and ended up getting the same! They are soooo beautiful! Kelli's kitchen is going to be a showstopper -- go check out the progress and see the before and afters. 

I may have shared Sarah's dining room in-progress, I can't remember. Either way I'm sharing it now because it is such a bright, beautiful space: 

It was pretty before too, just darker. Paint and fabric will completely transform a space! I love that it's not overdone and styled to the hilt -- just simple and pretty.

And finally, but certainly not least, I loved Leslie's built-in spice rack idea:

She's a girl after my own heart -- she couldn't just add the racks, she went all out with new trim and added details. Love her whole kitchen!

Awesome projects as always! Thanks for linking up and sharing your projects! Now it's time to see what you've been up to recently. If you'd like to be considered for next month's round up, be sure to link to TDC in your post or include this code:
