I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! My weekend was filled with backyard bbqs, swimming and lot of fun with family and friends. Thats why this weeks Before and After is a little late.

If you havent heard, were running our summer Before and After series supporting Habitat for Humanity. This is the fourth year weve run the contest, and it gets better every time. Each week were picking a before and after story to share on One Project Closer. The winner gets a $50 gift card we make a $100 donation to Habitat for Humanity in their honor. Check out the link above for the official announcement and how you can enter too.
