HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Today I’m sharing a round-up of fun patriotic projects using non-traditional colors. But first, a Year of Change announcement!

Not only is it the 4th of July, but it’s also the first Friday of the month which means it’s time to announce our Year of Change monthly challenge. The past months challenges have seen us stencil a room, revamp a piece of furniture, take on an outside project, and install some new swag lighting {which ultimately resulted in an entire room makeover for me}.

This month we are joined by Paige from The Pink Clutch Blog as a guest designer and our challenge for July is to take on a neglected room in our house. A room that you’ve had big plans for and just haven’t gotten around to doing anything with. Or even just a room that might be “this close” to completion but has those last items not checked off yet. I haven’t actually picked the space I’ll be working on this month but I’m sure I’ll figure it out shortly. Hopefully.

Now, on to some holiday related items. As you know, I joined up with more than 30 AMAZING bloggers to tackle the challenge of creating a patriotic project or recipe without using the traditional red, white and blue color scheme! We started the first week of June and the projects have been flowing ever since. We shared over 30 awesome patriotic projects with you, and today, I am recapping all 30+ of them for you below. I hope you will find some inspiration on this day that we celebrate America’s independence! Oh, and you can still enter to win for your chance to win the $310 Target Gift Card using the Rafflecopter at the end of this post. But hurry, time runs out at 11:59 pm on July 4, 2014!
