Welcome to another Before & After Friday!

Over the last few months I've dedicated Friday posts

to specific types of B&A projects.  Today is just a hot

mess of lots of different types of do-overs.  Join me.

I think I prefer the white cabinets better than the brown ones.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this 'before' family room:

Did you get inspired by any of today's projects?  Several of them are
'weekend-able' and don't really require a lot of time or supplies.
