Before and After GRAND PRIZE Winner!

October 8, 2012 | by Jocie (email) |

After a summer of link party excitement, 14 weekly winners, and week of final voting by our readers, a GRAND PRIZE WINNER has been chosen! This year, our big winner (chosen by 45% of our voters) is Amanda at Dixie Delights for her basement renovation. She was chosen as a weekly winner by Rhoda at Southern Hospitality, and it was a well deserved win, for sure. As our grand prize winner, Amanda will receive a $150 gift card to the home improvement store of her choice.

Amanda took around 8 months to completely remodel her very drab basement into a very fab space! In our house, 8 months is pretty quick…lol!

Here’s the before…that carpet is ROUGH!

Now, the AFTER! Seriously, I love the color scheme, detail, and personalized touch. She did an amazing job of filling the space without adding clutter.

I am in love with these pillows. For real.

This picture wall is A-MAZ-ING! I can’t imagine how ling it took to frame and place all these pix, but its beautiful.

Thanks Amanda and all of our link party-goers who were kind enough to come hang out and support One Project Closer and spread the word about Habitat for Humanity. In all, we donated $1400 to Habitat for Humanity on behalf of our winners, gave away $700 in gift cards to our weekly winners, and finally $150 to our grand prize winner, Amanda!

An extra big thanks also to our 14 blogger friends who so graciously hosted and promoted the link party and giveaway. Make sure to go check the out and show them some love!

    What a transformation- loving the gray and yellow color scheme!

    I think it really helped to have a lighter color scheme too…the dark carpet wasn’t helping the place feel any more cheerful.

    But I still can’t get over how many pictures that is. Crazy
