Before and After Wednesday

Hello World!  I'm back with a Before and After makeover for you.  Sorry for not posting in the Before and After series for a couple of weeks.  It wasn't due to lack of projects, it was due to lack of time on my part.  Now that all of the September birthdays are all done, I feel like I have a little bit more time.  

Today's Before and After comes from Sam over at Creatively Sam's.  She graciously shared her Copper Fall Wreath with us.  Let's start with a picture of the final.  


 Below is the blank canvas she started with.

 Painting some leaves to give them that crisp Fall look.  

Added ribbon and floral pieces. 

A tight shot of the bow and floral pieces.  

So very pretty!  Be sure to pop over to Creatively Sam's to see the full tutorial!  Thank you, Sam for sharing this with us! 

Now, the rest of you, if any of you have any before and after projects that you would love to get featured, email them to thededicatedhouse@gmail.com and in the subject line, please put Before and After Wednesday.  It can be any before and after: gardening, furniture redo, room makeover, complete renovation, sewing repurpose.  Anything with a before and after.

***Also, if any of you pretties have started working on your Fall decor projects, please start sending them to me.  Any holiday Before and After, even from the past will do.  For example:  wreath creations, centerpieces, decor.  Just make sure there is a before pic of the "naked piece" (naked table to fabulous tablescape, naked Christmas tree to decked out beauty, naked wreath to beautiful filled in wreath)...you get the picture.  I'm compiling a file for the upcoming holidays so that we have a ton of inspiration to see us through the seasons on Before and After Wednesday.***

And, if you haven't added your inspiration yet, Make it Pretty Monday is still live.  Click here to head on over.  And, don't forget Anything Blue Friday for all of your blue inspiration.  Click here to scooch on over to that party.  And, last, but certainly not least, if you missed the top 4 Fan Faves from last week's party, click here to pop on over to the Sunday Showcase.

Have a super fantastic rest of the day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not!

Toodles,
Kathryn
