Last Summer, I got a call from my friend Betsy asking for prayer as their dishwasher had sprung a leak and caused some major water damage. It was bad enough that an insurance adjuster had to come, and talk of a necessary kitchen renovation began. She spent the better part of the following months Pinning kitchen inspiration and diving into a ton of DIY projects. They painted their cabinets, replaced counter tops, reworked lighting, flooring and trim. It was a huge undertaking but it feels like a completely different house now. In the midst of all that, she created a wall calendar that works spectacularly for her family and the minute I saw it I looked at her and said, "Girl, you need to sell those."
She recently opened an Etsy shop where she sells these and has graciously offered to give one away to one of you guys! I'm excited to have Betsy's shop as my first Fabulous Feature of the new Year!
These are wonderful because Betsy is able to customize it if you want a different quote, colors, etc. And the best part is that you're dealing with a personal friend of mine, so I can tell you that her work is amazing, and she is a sweetheart. They are a nice, big 20x30" and slide easily into a 20x30" frame, then simply use with a dry erase pen and your life will be completely organized. (Okay that might be a slight exaggeration but it can't hurt to have it all in one place, right?)
We'll choose a random winner in a few days.
And if you know you want one of these right now, Betsy is offering a coupon code for a 20% discount good for the next two weeks! Use LMM20 in her shop when you check out.

Awesome calendar, I could use some help organizing this year., I am drooling over her subway tile and those countertops... Nice Redo
ReplyDeleteI am drooling. What a fabulous makeover!
ReplyDeleteLove the makeover and the calendar!
ReplyDeleteI like the kitchen remodel, it's beautiful. I do like the rich color of the wood in the "before" pictures. Maybe I'm not familiar with the new trends. Can anyone tell me what makes painting wood cabinets the "in thing" right now? (Thanks!)I like the clean, trendy look of the new kitchen, and the cupboard knobs are the kind I would shop for for my own kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI'd say it is all personal preference. Some like the look of wood, others paint. Not wrong choice as long as you go with something you like. (smile)
DeleteLooks amazing and LOVE the calendar! So clean and fresh and modern and perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute calender! This would look great in my kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteI love this story, Thank the Lord the dishwasher failed!!!!! Right? The new kitchen is glorious and I love the fact this couple did the work themselves. Every aspect of this made me smile. Oh the things God can fool us with!
