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. 

Top Ten

We introduce our Remodelaholics Anonymous weekly party with a top ten roundup of our favorites. In July, we shared our favorite healthy frozen treats, ottomans, welcoming porches, and family command centers. 

 Remodelaholic Contributors & Guests

We love our regular contributors, Jen from Bakerette and Ruth from What’s Cooking with Ruthie, and we always welcome our featured guests!

Jen shared these yummy s’mores cupcakes, and Ruthie shared this delicious tropical smoothie:
