Major picture post: 'Before' & 'Afters'

As promised here are some 'before' and 'afters' of my place and my "craftiness" from the weekend. I hope you love it all as much as I do!

Empty living room BEFORE:


and AFTER:



Kitchen 'BEFORE':

and 'AFTER':


And now for my "crafts" from the weekend:
Fun and trendy (but white and boring like my walls) octagon mirror 'BEFORE':

and 'AFTER':

Boring brown wooded picture frames (times 3) 'BEFORE':

and 'AFTER':



And now for some of my favorite things:
My really fun crazy chair & beaded circles pillow

My Dad's AWESOME black and white photography

My decorations above my cabinets in the kitchen (including my reverse chandelier)

(Sidenote: Those pictures on the right are framed scrapbook paper-- it's cheap and SO beautiful...and you can change it out easily if you get tired of the design!!)

So, there you go... a major picture post. Please feel free to comment on anything! I love it all, and hope you do too!

One more thing... a few of you have left me comments (thank you by the way) but I am not able to see your blogs. Please send me a link to it so I can read yours and comment back! :)

Okay- this is fabulous! Did you buy your paints at like Lowes?? And the frames and mirrow-- where did you get those? I need to copy all your things. AND HOW SMART ARE YOU? To use scrapbooking papers as ART! Seriously I love you and your ideas. Did you think them up or find them in your magazine? I NEED TO GET A SUBSCRIPTION!!
Thanks for the post and pictures! You're awesome!

No Lindsay...YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thanks for all the compliments. All the paints are from Hobby Lobby (just basic acrylic paint), the scrapbook paper is from a scrapbooking store and the frames & mirror are from Target!! And I thought of all of the ideas myself so I am VERY happy you love them!! Do you have a blog? Email it to me if you do... kells_78@hotmail.com

Have a great night!!

Wow, everything looks so GREAT!! Can you come up to Massachusetts to help me put together our baby's nursery. I am running out of patience with it and I am afraid that she is going to grow up without a sense of style;0)

Everything looks great Kelly! Can I come stay and have a grown up weekend? Maybe you could rent out weekends to stressed out moms (smile).

Love the scrapbook paper idea!
