Smarter.com

Hey there! 
 Just inturrupting your weekend to let you know about Smarter.com, Better After’s first official sponser! Check them out over there on my sidebar.  Now, I wouldn’t go sticking just any old thing on my blog that I wasn’t a fan of, so you can trust that this site is cool, yo.
It’s a comparison shopping site that finds and compares whatever you’re looking for, from any and every online merchant that sells it. For example, when I wanted to buy my husband some cologne, I typed in Claiborne Sport for Men and it pulled up every store online that sold it from Ebay to The Scented Monkey (I did NOT make that up) AND how much it cost. I ended up getting a smoking deal that was $20 less than the mall would have been, plus hair gel, body wash and a shaving bag! Woot! 
So, anyhoo, it’s a smart way to shop for all your wants and needs, from home decor to electronics and whatnot, so check it out! And if you are interested in advertising on Better After, just drop me an email and we can chat! 
 And now, back to your regularly scheduled weekend.

ReDu

Michelle found nothing appealing at all about bland, expensive furniture that every other person on the block had. So she took to redoing old pieces in her own unique style, and created a little business in the process. Check her out blog out at Redu Home Furnishings, and also her etsy site Boheme Trouve where some of these items are for sale!

I like how she mixes it up here with both flower and crystal knobs.

And here comes my favorite. The colors, the knobs, perfection! Thanks Michelle!

Stephanie’s Powder Room

What’s killing me about this before bathroom is not the wallpaper (which I actually think is kind of cute in its own cheerful way) but that pitiful excuse for a bathroom mirror! I hope no one actually had to get ready in this bathroom, because they could probably only see 1/4 of their face at a time!
 I love the after, just adding that bigger mirror made it seem much roomier in comparison. And I love the accessories. And it really is way better without that wallpaper too. See more on Stephanie’s blog Under the Table and Dreaming.

Altar’d Furniture

Mandie has turned her hobby of flipping furniture into a new business called Altar’d. Here is one of her recent pieces, a vintage dresser given new life with a fresh coat of blue and an antiquing treatment. She has a gallery on her site of her upcoming projects, and I’m practically foaming at the mouth to see how they will turn out! Check her out HERE. Thanks Mandie!

Joyce’s Kitchen

Wowsers, this kitchen was bad. Every early-90’s kitchen cliche you could ask for! Red walls, mauve countertops, brass fixtures, florescent block lighting, and, wait, is that a heart-motif wallpaper border circling the ceiling? Yes. Yes, I believe it is. 
 Well, the after more than makes up for the before. They don’t even look like distant relatives! Thanks to Katie, who shares more pictures of her friend Joyce’s kitchen remodel on her blog Yoga Gal!
