First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! It is one of my favorite holidays -- we had so much fun with friends and many times over the weekend I found myself counting my blessings.
And secondly, holy cats, you guys hit it out of the park at last month's before and after link up. I seriously was so impressed by the projects that were linked up -- it was so hard to pick out just a few to share! So hard that I am sharing more than usual this month, but I think you'll find they are all pretty fantastic.
I have to say, the renovation that Julie shared looked exactly like one you would see on Fixer Upper -- every bit of it is gorgeous!:
This is a must see -- the family room looks amazing, but the real star is that kitchen!
I love when readers share smaller projects too, and this one was such a great idea. Joan repurposed some old shutters to make a huge (nearly three feet tall!) DIY lantern:
I especially love all the little details she added to it.
Jenny has some major painting skills -- you should see how she transforms kitchens! I loved her master bedroom makeover:
The real star is what you don't see -- all the wallpaper that was there. After that is was a fairly simple redo with paint and lighting. But what a difference!
Katie's project was another small one that I thought was pretty brilliant. She took an old file cabinet and added all kinds of character:
This has me thinking twice about the old one we hide away in the basement. ;)
They did a few things to update the outside of their home, but the paint color was the biggest impact for sure. So classic and pretty!
Wow -- that's just a few of the awesome projects linked up last month -- be sure to check out the rest of them!

I can't wait to see what you did last month -- you all set the bar high! ;)
