Well, I'm going to be honest. You guys made my job tough for me! When One Project Closer asked me to help host and judge in their summer-long Before & After series, I thought it'd be a piece of cake. Sort through a bunch of amazeballs projects and reward my favorite with a $50 gift card to one of their favorite retailers? Um, yeah, sign me up!

But then came this weekend, when I actually had to pick one project as this week's winner. One project, people. In case you haven't checked out the entries yet, there are over 100 amazing before and after projects waiting to inspire us all! Wowzers. 

So after about ninety-six hours of browsing through these fabulous projects, I decided to finally hang my hat and announce a winner for this week. Aren't you dying to see?

Congrats to Becky from Buckets of Burlap! Your amazing kitchen renovation scored you not only a spot as this week's One Project Closer Before & After series winner, but also a $50 gift card and a chance at winning the big end-of-the-summer prize through OPC.

Now on to the really good stuff... Becky's winning before and after- a gorgeous kitchen remodel!
