Remodelaholic in Review, July 2013
July was another busy month for us, complete with plenty of playing and working on our yard. Here’s what we shared on Remodelaholic this month: (click the images to go to each post)
Etta’s Pink and Navy Bed Nook
I am slowly but surely finishing up my daughter Etta’s pink and navy room. I finished up and decorated her bed nook — and she and I both love it!
DIY Outdoor Baby Gate
I partnered with 3M DIY to bring you the plans for an outdoor safety gate that is great for keeping kids and pets safe!
Seasonal Cleaning Checklist
Do you ever forget those seasonal cleaning tasks, like changing air filters, cleaning your oven, or washing window sills? …yeah… me neither… at least not now that I have this printable seasonal cleaning checklist, with thanks to Filtrete for helping me remember!
Get This Look
We continued on with our Get This Look series with SIX more great looks and plenty of tips to help you bring that style into your home.

Giveaways, Recipes, and Design Ideas
I partnered with some amazing blogs to host two great giveaways this month: the ultimate kitchen giveaway and a Cricut giveaway for you and a friend. Both giveaways have ended — thanks for entering and congrats to those who won!
I am finally back in the swing of meal planning and cooking, so I shared four new recipes with you this month:
Blueberry Sour Cream Pancakes | Bowtie Chicken Caesar Salad
Fast Belgian Waffles | No-Bake Trail Mix Cookies
 |
 |
 |
 |
And then we rounded up an overload of design and decorating ideas and inspiration for you — nearly 40 ideas for small laundry rooms, over 100 wall painting ideas, and 25 DIY window coverings.

Lorene has been behind the scenes here at Remodelaholic for more than a decade! She believes that planning projects and actually completing them are two different hobbies, but that doesn't stop her from planning at least a dozen projects at any given time. She spends her free time creating memories with her husband and 5 kids, traveling as far as she can afford, and partaking of books in any form available.
very informative article for thanks for sharing
