I WON!!... One Project Closer's DIY Project Contest (And A Master Bedroom Update)

Hey Y'all...

I just got some fantastically awesome news today!

Last week when I was perusing blogland 

(Procrastinating on getting started on switching the bedrooms), 

I stopped by one of my favorite blogs....

Jessica @ Mom 4 Real was one of my first bloggy friends 

and I am always amazed at her DIY projects and wonderful style.

This is one chica that thinks outside the box!

I always love seeing what new idea she's thought up!

:)

Last Friday, Jessica was hosting...

This is an awesome contest, y'all!

13 weeks and 14 blogs, link up three of your best DIY project 

and win a $50 gift card to Lowe's, Home Depot, or Amazon!

You can link up three different projects each week or link up the same three.

It doesn't matter and you can win more than once!

And the best part is, $100 is donated in your honor 

to Habitat4Humanity for each weekly winner! 

How awesome is that???

It's a WIN, WIN!

So on a whim, I thought, what the heck...

And linked up the Reveal Post of the before and after of Eva's Room:

And today I found out I won last week's contest!

Whoo-Hoo!

There's $50 towards our master bedroom makeover!

Yippee!

THANK YOU, JESSICA and JOCIE and Kim @ OPC's The Better Half!!!!!

Speaking of the master bedroom makeover....

The switcheroo of the bedrooms went off without a hitch 

{Well, not too much of one...  There was this one gigantic dresser and not enough hall space.  LOL!).

I admit...

The first day after we switched the rooms, 

I just looked at the mess and dreamed about what it was going to look like.

The second day I spent the entire day folding, hanging, and purging clothes.

And then yesterday I finally got off my hiney 

and painted the gigantic dresser the most gorgeous color!

I admit I stare at it because I can't believe the difference.

:)

YAY for PROGESS!

Today, I'll be tackling a vanity and a dresser AND 

hopefully starting this idea that I have for the large picture window.

We'll see how far along I get.

And then next week....  Priming and painting the walls and trim.

UGH.

My least favorite part.

But...  At least I have that Lowe's card coming to look forward to 

and I can spend the time painting day dreaming about how I'm going to spend it.

There's always a silver lining, right?

;)
