The After Party: a house log
On Tuesday, Annastazia proved that we are not the only ones around here with strong before & after photos of their home. So I know plenty of ears will perk up when I tell you that now there is a way for your before & after pics to assist a worthy cause (and perhaps even earn you a little reward to the tune of a $50 gift card).
One Project Closer – a journal chronicling the home improvement adventures of two Baltimore, MD couples – is hosting a blogging event this summer called Before & After ’08. You can read more about it by clicking here, but here is the gist:
- Readers submit stories and photos of their before & after projects from the late spring or early summer.
- One Project Closer posts one each Sunday and donates $25 to Habitat for Humanity (in your honor, no less).
- At the end of the summer, readers vote on the best before & after project and the winner receives a $50 gift card to their go-to home improvement store.
Fairly sweet, no? We think it is excellent that they are hosting such a strong event and raising awareness for a fantastic organization. Now we have simply gotta figure out what project we are going to submit. We are leaning towards our front walkway makeover (since we did it in the late spring)…
… so cross your fingers that ours gets published so you can see the final afters (with grass springing up between the slate). Oh, and be sure to let us know if you submit anything so we can all check it out and cast our vote at the end of the summer.
