Some exciting news today, dear A house full of sunshine readers! A few weeks back Abby from Just a Girl and her Blog announced that she’d be throwing a link party with a Room Revamp theme.
Well, revamping rooms is one thing I’ve done quite a lot of. Creating a whole-room transformation makes me giddy and glad. I adore the entire process. Daydreaming ideas, making a plan, choosing paint colours and finishes, shopping for decor pieces, and most of all, seeing the whole thing come together – what can I say; it gives me a rush! I’m a complete sucker for a good before and after shot and have a weakness for watching room reveals on reality TV. An evening free to watch House Rules or The Block is more of a luxury to me than getting a manicure. (Which incidentally, I’ve never done. Ever! I know, I’m weird.)
All that to say, do you think I thought twice about linking up to this fabulous Room Revamp-themed party? You can bet your French nails I did not. Of course, I jumped on board and linked up a few of my rooms – then crossed my non-manicured fingers tight and hoped that maybe just one might possibly be considered good enough to be picked as a feature. I wasn’t holding my breath – there were over 100 rooms linked up at this party, and some of them were pretty darn incredible, to say the least.
So imagine my surprise today when I discovered that not one…. not two… not three… but four of my room makeovers were picked as featured rooms!! WHAAAAAAT??!
Yep, I’m a bit excited!
You can check out the 25 featured rooms here, and make sure to have a browse through the other amazing makeovers contributed by a bunch of very talented bloggers! There are some truly gorgeous rooms in this round-up.
Big thanks to Mandy from The Hankful House and April from House by Hoff for choosing my rooms – you gals gave me the biggest smile today!
So, let’s chat! Anyone else here a sucker for the whole-room makeover? Obsessed with The Block? A staunch anti-manicurist? Do you guys have a favourite room makeover from A house full of sunshine? You can view all the room reveals I’ve done to date right here on my Project Gallery – just scroll down!
I don't know why you are surprised they picked four rooms Karen,you are very talented! If I had to pick a favourite from your room makeovers I think it would have to be your home office. It is fabulous..stylish but so practical for a house full of little people. That stencilled wall just makes me sigh every time I see it! š My sentimental favourite would have to be the surprise nursery, cried buckets of tears watching the video of the reveal and just thought it was the most beautiful room to bring a precious baby home to.
And as for being a sucker for the whole room makeover, reality TV shows like House Rules and The Block are a bit of an obsession with me as well. My absolute favourite is the series of shows done by Sarah Richardson…I can watch Sarah's House over and over again. Just ask my long suffering husband…if you can find him under all the cushions! š
