Hello everyone. It's time for the weekly "boring to better" party which is all about before and afters. I can't believe this is number 10 already.
When the weather reports started looking like the sure thing that snow was coming our way I went to our local Ace hardware store along with the many others who were there. Of course those folks were there for ice melt, snow shovels, sand, and heaters. Not me, no sirree. I was there to get a new can of paint.
I figured if I am not going to be able to get out I might as well be productive and work on another project on my list.
Yes, I bought this gallon of paint and have been painting away.
Mr. Savvy even helped me yesterday since he couldn't do anything else. He helped me move
furniture and he even helped to paint.
Now the room is far from finished so I don't have a reveal yet.
Just sharing some snippets with you.
So now it is your turn to share some before and afters.
If you don't have a before shot that is fine with me. Sometimes I forget, too.
Linky rules:
Link your intended post and not your whole blog.
PLEASE add my link or party button to your post where it is easy for others to find. They may want to pop over with the link you provide and join in the fun, too. This is how we get our blogs out there.
Please become a follower through my google friend connect on the sidebar if you are new here.
No advertising or etsy links. This is for before and afters.
Now let's party!
KIM

Kim, you are the queen of painting! I'm sure there was plenty of paint for you since everyone else was concerned about weather matters.

You are such a tease! Can't wait to see what you have painted now! Thanks for hosting, Kim, this is always alot of fun.
Hi Kim! Looks like you have been busy! I now have the cleanest bathroom in the universe and have cooked until I have run out of ingredients! lol And...I don't think I will be out of here before Friday at best...Yikes! I may have to walk to GW in the snow just for fun! Happy snow days...hugs...Debbie
Gorgeous green color Kim!
Thank you for hosting. Love your fun party! ~Melissa :)
Kim, you are teasing us again. What are you up to? You have certainly taken advantage of your "housebound" time! Linda
Can't wait to see what you have done with that paint!!
What in the world are you doing *now* ?! lol. Your guest room appears to have been visited by your paint brush ... look forward to seeing what you've done! And, thanks for hosting ... I'm sure that there are a lot of fun projects that people have had fun with during the snow storms!
Looking forward to the reveal, Kim.
I decided to link to the fireplace rather than the lake bedroom.
Seriously, can I bottle your energy and creativity? Please? Girl, you are on a painting streak. Can't wait to see the
reveal, I know it's going to be GREAT!! =) Thanks for hosting!
XOXO ~Liz
P.S. Is it ok to link something from last week, or does it have to be a specific post for the day of the Boring to Better Party? Thanks!
I can't wait to see he finished room, Kim. I know it will be beautiful...Christine
Gee- You went and got paint? Now WHY doesn't that surprise me? AND you got the MR invovled in your game too? Now that DOES surprise me! Happy Painting- Diana
Can't wait to see what you're painting!
It is so good to have a helper sometimes. Thank you for hosting the party and... happy painting! :)
Now Kim! Since I am a fellow Southerner, I know you didn't get out to buy paint. If you can get out in the snow, you had to prepare yourself in case another snowflake fell. You were really out buying milk and toilet paper, weren't you?
Just kidding.....kinda. I have barely been out of the house since before Christmas and have cabin fever.
I'm sure your projects will be great as usual!
Good for you, Kim! While you were being VISIBLY productive, my productivity was all "behind the scenes." Sure wish my painting was done... :-) Can't wait to see your finished room.
Can't wait to see it all Kim! Thanks for hosting another great party. I'm off to go check out some of the other folks! :-)

I went out and bought the paint the day before the snow fell. Think in advance!
Kim,
I am thinking we might have been having the same painting project this week! Loving all your changes! Keep warm and happy painting :)
Wendy
Do I see some green in there? You are the busiest lady I know! You are always working on something and making things more beautiful! Enjoy your week! Stay warm! ♥♥♥
I love all your colors so I'm sure I'll love your new projects...can't wait to see just what you're up to now!!!
I can't wait to see the room!!! The color looks nice! I finally got the Christmas stuff in the kitchen put away and cleaned up! I figured I will do one room at a time and hopefully be done by Friday!! Thanks for hosting. It took me a good hour to do my tutorial.
This is looking good. I think it is a bed right? Can't wait to see it. Hugs, Marty
Hi Kim,
Very pretty color...looks like a bedroom to me. I taped off the baseboards in a soon-to-be bedroom but never got to the painting part. Looks like it will have to wait until the weekend now.
Thanks for hosting the party!!
Jane
Looks pretty Kim. And, it is reminding me of spring! That's even better! Hope you are staying warm. We got 4 inches and a little more tonight.
Sherry
Thanks for hosting Kim! hmmmm...painting again....
have fun painting - I am sure the people at the hardware store thought buying the paint vs. the ice stuff was funny :)
Kim, You are one busy lady. I can't wait to see what you are up to now! Thanks for hosting.
Hugs,
Sherry
What have you got up your sleeve this time! Can't wait to see!
I love your outdoor shots! The snow is gorgeous...even if it is COLD!
You sure must have your technique down by now! I'm glad you got to work with your hubby for awhile. There's an up side to everything. Of course you know that. Thanks, Kim!
KIm as always thanx for hosting the party! Hope you are keeping warm and can't wait to see what you have been up to!
Oh what a tease you are! Can't wait to see the finished room. Thanks for hosting. laurie
Hi Kim, I am adding your button right now. thanks for your comment on my infinity scarf! I do love to find new ways to reuse a sweater.....
You are one busy lady! Send some energy my way. I'm still in the planning part of all the things I need/want to do for this year. You are such an inspiration.
Have a wonderful day,
Gail

Sounds like a good way to spend a snowy day...can't wait to see what you're up to now!
Hi Kim! You are truly the busiest one I know! I just don't know how you do all you do! You're amazing and I can't wait to see the reveal!
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
As the other commenters said...you are by far the busiest blogger I know!!! Everyday it is something new!!! OH yea..by the way I awarded you The Stylish Blogger Award this morning on my post.
I was just about to say that you are the busiest blogger I know, then I looked up and saw that Sherry beat me to it. Guess we are all overstating the obvious. Well, I've been a slacker blogger lately so maybe next week I will have something to share. Fingers crossed.

I really need some of what you are drinking! I've been snowed in the past two days and all I feel like doing is curling up under a throw and napping! I have managed to do a few other "have to" things...but, I feel much more like doing projects when the sun is shining!
Can't wait to see what you have done now!
Kim,
Thank you so much for hosting this party again. There is nothing like getting feedback from people who have such great ideas and opinions. Your hosting this party gives so many people like myself a chance to show projects to the huge amount of people who visit your blog that would never see our projects otherwise. Thank you again!! Oh..and BTW, thank you for your sweet comments on my kitchen. I never thought about two different colors for my stools...you always make me think. :)
Hi Kim~ Sorry I am late to the party!!!! I had to get my B&A post finished and published~ I cannot wait to see what you are painting now!! Thanks for hosting! :)
I can't wait Kim to see the reveal!
This BtoB party is alot of fun!!
Hey Kim! Girl, I know I have cabin fever so bad! OOO kim wouldnt it be cool to get really big books and rip them up? Then place them in some wire locker baskets.mmmmm I am going to the thrift stores tomorrow. lol
Goodness, Kim, I hope you get a discount at the paint store you busy girl!
Hi Kim,
I got so side tracked looking at all of the links that I forgot to leave a comment!
I just love the preview and I'm excited to see what your project will look like when completed.
hugs
Sissie
