Can you believe it? It's the first Monday of the month and I actually remembered the before and after link up! I'm kind of proud of myself. ;)
I found some fantastic projects to share with you today and then you can link up your own for August. Can we take a minute and cry over how fast this summer has gone?? It was such a fun couple of months for us. (Remember when summer was actually three months?) I do always enjoy when life has some structure again, but I will miss our summer days. We are soaking up the last bits of it over the next couple of weeks.
So here we go -- some of my favorite projects you all shared last month. This
in Breann's home is awesome:
They built it themselves and I love the wood with the industrial chairs. What a fun spot!
is SO COOL! It was truly transformed with paint -- she painted (literally) everything and what a difference it made:
What a great space to get away or for the kids to hang out. I love that it feels like a little cabin in her backyard!
had me swooning:
Gorgeous, right?? I've been going back and forth on outdoor curtains for our pergola and this has me convinced we should do it. Classic and beautiful.
I also LOVED Carli's :
It all feels so lush and I love all of the pretty colors she used.&
Mari-Jane made some simple changes to her
and it turned out beautifully!:
I love that it's super functional too. That wood counter is so beautiful, and I love all the folding space!
and I love how everything has a place:
I've been wanting to tweak some items in ours to make it work even better and I love her organization!
And last but certainly not least, Gillian made over
and simple updates made such a difference:
You really have to see the before to truly appreciate their work -- it's a beautiful little bathroom now!

Now let's see what you've been up to recently! I love seeing these before and after posts!
Hey there! We've had a busy week soaking up some summer activities…our time off is coming to a close soon. This week alone we visited the Indy Children's Museum, explored downtown, saw a movie and took a trip to Kings Island. Such a blast but I'm ready to relax a bit today! (If you are interested in visiting our fun city, check out
for my tips and our favorite places.)&
I'm back today with a quick and easy project that I finished up in the loft last week. I'm pretty excited about it! Last time I shared this space I had this empty space :&
I've known all along exactly what I wanted to put there -- a gift wrap station. :) I'm all about form and function and I knew this would be cute and serve a purpose in this space.&
I hardly spent anything on this because I used old trim from this room for the frame. You can definitely put this directly on the wall but I wanted to make a little bit more of a statement and I had the trim anyway.&
I had plenty of wall space but didn't want it to go too low -- that corner is already my favorite spot on the window seat and I didn't want to worry about hitting my head. :) Turns out you can fit quite a few rolls in a small space. I ended up with 24 inches tall by about 34 wide:&
Most gift wrap is 30 inches wide but Christmas wrapping is sometimes wider so that will just depend on your needs.&
I nailed the trim directly on the planks and then cleaned it up -- putty for the corners and holes and a couple coats of semi gloss paint:&
The next part was super easy. I picked up some
in the 3/8 size (again, any size will do, just make sure they don't bow with the weight of the paper):&
And a couple packages of :&
Make sure your rods will fit in the hooks! Mine were 7/8 inches so it worked perfect.&
I did some trial and error to decide on the layout -- I knew I wanted six up there so I measured out every 3.5 inches. I held my measuring tape up and marked those distances down the length of the trim, making sure each one was in the middle:&
Make sure you do the exact same measurements on the other side. Then you've got yourself a super cute display that functions great as well:&
OH I just love it!! So cute! Of course I got it up and decided I needed a few new rolls of paper to make it even cuter. :) I couldn't resist.&
I love the pops of color against the white wall. I'm starting to love how everything kind of "sings" against white. I don't think all white would ever happen in our house but I can tell I'm going to like it in this space:&
To access the paper I can either pull the wrapping out from the wall and cut it where it is, or it's easy to take them down. I will probably just take them down when I need them.&
All in all this was only a $10 project since I had the trim, and as I mentioned, that's optional anyway.&
Not gonna lie, I'm already thinking about how cute it will look with Christmas paper! :)&
There you go -- a simple, inexpensive project that you can adjust to your needs. I absolutely love mine and am happy I was able to put that space to use.&
Have a great weekend my friends! :)&
