[Saturday Spotlight} Mudroom from hi sugarplum!

Hi friends!  Welcome back to Saturday Spotlight, where I share some of my fave spaces and projects from around the blogosphere.  Be prepared to be inspired, because today’s feature is a gorgeous hall-turned-mudroom from the talented Cassie at hi sugarplum!

Cassie took advantage of a much-used hallway in her home and transformed it into a functional drop-zone for her family with the addition of hooks to corral bags and backpacks and a wall rack for those last minute smaller items like hats and bugspray (a must in Texas!).

She infused the room with her great style and love of color to make the space not only functional, but beautiful as well.  Check out that striped door – isn’t it fantastic? 

She created the look of authentic Board & Batten with a faux Board & Batten wall treatment.  Amazing.  Let’s have one last peek, shall we?

Great job Cassie!

To see more of this and many other fabulous projects, go visit hi sugarplum and tell Cassie hello… I’ll warn you that you will become a loyal follower just as I have!

{Saturday Spotlight} My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's a rainy, gloomy day in central Texas today, so let's brighten it up a little with a Saturday Spotlight on a fantastic loft makeover by Kristin of My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia.

Kristin completely transformed her loft space with the addition of paint and new accessories... and the result is amazing:

You'll never believe that this desk and bookshelf area used to look like this:

It doesn't even look like the same furniture, does it?  I never cease to be amazed at what white paint can do to a dark wood piece.

In addition to a working office space, she included a relaxed seating area for her family:

The color palette is a combination of all of my own favorites: blue, ivory, brown.  Yum.  What a cozy little space to curl up and relax!

Beauty and function are such a great combination, don't you think?

To see more of her loft, visit Kristin's summary.  While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of her gorgeous home and some DIY projects you won't want to miss!

{Saturday Spotlight} Eclectically Vintage Kitchen

You're in for a real treat today, because the kitchen I'm featuring is going to knock your socks off!  (Yes, another kitchen... think I'm looking for ideas?  :))

This gorgeous renovated kitchen is from Kelly at Eclectically Vintage.

Wouldn't you just love to stay in this space forever?

The honed carrera marble countertops shine beautifully next to the white cabinetry and under these amazing lights:

The light fixtures are extraordinary - like suspended wine bottles.  And do you see what I'm drooling over in the background?

Hello lover.  Look at that farmhouse sink and commercial dish sprayer!  *sigh*  I'm in heaven.  And I didn't even mention the herringbone backsplash or vintage scale... or her red stove.

Wow.  That is one lucky girl...

Do you think she'd mind if I moved in?

Hope you're having a great Saturday - head on over to Kelly's and say hi!

{Saturday Spotlight} The Family Room's Kitchen!

Hi friends! It's time for another edition of Saturday Spotlight, where I feature amazing spaces from some amazing bloggers... This week I bring you a fantastic kitchen from Sita at The Family Room. I actually discovered Sita's kitchen on Pinterest, but it wasn't tagged properly... Boo! I persisted, however, until I finally found where this kitchen lived, and now I'm sharing it with you ~ enjoy!

Sita completely transformed her kitchen when she painted her dark wooden cabinets a bright white.  

Isn't the difference incredible?  I am always amazed at what the addition of white cabinetry can do for a space.  This kitchen was essentially the same... but so much better!

Ahhh... wouldn't you just love to cook, eat, and live in here?

I love the pops of aqua and pale green that she's added in as accents... the utensil container, towels, dining chairs, and her drapery all add a special pop of color.

One last parting shot... just look at all the sunshine pouring in!

If you get a chance, please stop over and visit Sita - and tell her I sent ya!  She has more gorgeous spaces in her home for you to enjoy as well as design inspiration, fabulous finds, and more!

{Saturday Spotlight} Master Bedroom Closet Makeover

Happy Saturday friends and welcome to Saturday Spotlight, where I feature amazing, awe-inspiring DIY projects from blogland.  You ready to be amazed?!

Today's spotlight is this fabulous Master Bedroom Closet Makeover by Tonya at Love of Family & Home.

Tonya completely gutted her closet of all of the "stuff" and transformed it into a fabulous space.  She recycled those shelves from her dad's garage!

She turned a Goodwill mirror into a chalkboard, complete with an inspiring saying.  She created some DIY jewelry holders for her necklaces, and she even did a tutorial so you can make some too!

I love how neat and organized everything is, in addition to being beautiful.  (And I have to admit that I'm a little jealous of that scarf collection too...)

If you want to see more of Tonya's fabulous closet, head over to Love of Family & Home and check out the rest of her posts.  She shows you every phase of the closet makeover as it progresses... and be sure to check out her first Vlog ever on Stenciling that gorgeous wall!
