A Few Of My Favorite: Room Re-do’s (2010)

By

There’s nothing like the words “reveal” or “before & after” in the title of someones blog post to get my pulse a pumpin’!  Know what I mean? (Of course you do!)

And while room re-do’s might seem to drag out forever in real life, once they’re all put together in a cute, compact little (or long!) post- they’re so much fun to sit back and scroll through!

Here were just a few of my favorites posted around blogland this past year…

Did you blog about a room you re-did in your house this year? If so, we wanna see it! (Or see it again!)


All you have to do to enter your link is:

– Scroll down ’til you see the blue “add your link” button. Click it, and follow the steps from there to add your link and a small photo. (Make sure to create a descriptive name for your link, like “Beachy Bathroom” or “Rustic Living Room Re-do”. This will make it easier for folks to browse.)

– Also, be sure to link to your specific room re-do post, not the main page of your blog.

– Last but not least, here’s a button to add to your blog post if you’d like to invite readers over to the party.

    My favorite is Ashley’s little girls room. Beautiful post, by the way! I love being able to move my mouse over the pic to get the before shot, and love the way you put the designers pic in corner of each shot. I need to learn how to do those things! I recently purchased Photoshop 5, yet am still using Picnik because the learning curve for PS is so high!!

    • Kevin & Layla

      Thanks Sharyl!
      I’m hoping to add a “Photoshop” section to Kevin’s photography website, so hopefully I’ll be able to help you out with that learning curve! 🙂

    Hi Layla,
    I haven’t seen some of these before either and they are amazing! I added a client project – is that ok? Feel free to delete if you just wanted room makeovers from our own homes.
    Happy New Year!

    ooooh! i LOVE! tHANK YOU! I can’t wait to REVEAL my little farmhouse… it’s a slow process as we are on a TIGHT budget but hopefully someday! You gave me a GREAT suggestion for our living room walls ( i’m a dunce when it comes to choosing paint!) I am waiting on pins and needles to see what you think for a teenie tiny farmhouse bath w/Cherry cabinets, white moulding & sink & Tan floor tiles. I’m also going to ATTEMPT to redo some furniture finishes, i’m scared… do you have a post on that??

    Keep it up! You brighten my day!

    Love all the varied decorating styles featured on your blog. If you enjoy vintage and thrift store decorating, check out the home I recently featured on my blog. It’s loaded with creative ideas!

    WOW! I am so happy I found your site as we are just in the design process of a kitchen renovation here at our 1800s hunting lodge. Was also happy to see my friend Eddie’s livingroom re-do, he is the best at editing…or should I say Eddie-iting. Those bookshelves are perfection.
    Happy 1.1.11! I look forward to sitting down and checking out all these great links.
    Cheers!

    Thank you so much for hosting this party! You’re right: just the word “redo” in a post title is exciting!

    I’ve not left many comments for you here, but I’m such a fan of yours. I used to be Alabama girl myself, and still have many friends in Birmingham. Thank you for making your little corner of the blogosphere such a beautiful place to visit!

    Those are some amazing room redos. They are each so unique. I love it when you can look at a room and tell “who it is.” Thanks for highlighting them and giving us an opportunity to share our own redos.

    Happy new year to you and Kevin…and whoever may be joining your family in 2011. 🙂

  31. Alison @ Welcome Sunshine Home

    Those rooms are all amazing! I especially love Maria’s bedroom because I have a soft spot for tin ceilings. The photos in her post are breathtaking. I’d love to spend New Year Eve reading in that bedroom but instead I think I’ll curl up on my couch and visit all the posts linked up here. Looking at B&As is so addicting! I linked up at #137, thanks so much for hosting!

    So much inspiration! before and after pics are always amazing! Thanks for hosting such a great link party! I have followed you and Kevin for a long time.

    I can’t wait until my friend, Connie, tells you about a Christmas gift she bought for her daughter in Hawaii that she found while visiting your site! Just a hint…her son-in-law is in the coast guard and she’s from Wilm, NC. Happy New Year to both of you!

    Happy New Year! May this year bring you an abundance of blessings and the thing you long for most.

    I Love, Love seeing so many terrifically talented bloggers.
    When my kidies were little, we had a a series of story books called
    Sweet Pickles.
    I loved them as much as they did.
    They had a character in one story called “Me Too Iguana”.
    She wanted to have everything she saw her friends have, or dress the
    way she saw them dress, or have her house look like theirs.
    She was constantly getting ideas to change.
    Well Call me Iguana after checking out all the gorgeous redos on a great budget. hehe
    Happy New Year Layla and Kevin. geri.

    This is unbelievable! Don’t you just want to invite all of this people over to your house and give a room to each of them???

    They’re so, so good!!!!

    I am dropping by to wish you and your husband a really blessed year. Yesterday I told you on twitter that I’m praying for your adoption and it’s true, I am. I know you guys are already so blessed, but there’s so many other blessing coming your way! Always believe!

    Happy 2011!!!
