Monday Links

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine started Friday afternoon with a coffee date in Hoboken. I had so much fun sitting and chatting with Katie and Alyssa, two blogging friends I’m happy I can now call real life friends. I can’t wait for our next meet up!

Yesterday, JB, the boys, and I spent the day with my sister and her family in New York City. I’ve been dying to make some small decorating changes to her apartment, and she finally acquiesced. You can check out one of the before and after photos on Instagram. What do you think?

Now, some links for your Monday.

(Because why should Friday have all the fun?)

This glam bedroom makeover was inspired by the Refinery Hotel in New York City.

“There’s no ‘perfect time’ to embark on any major project” and more advice on pursuing a dream.

A DIY Pumpkin Face Mask that’s not for trick-or-treating. (Hint: It’ll give you glowing skin.)

A florist spills her secrets to making cut flowers last longer.

Would you shop at an Anthropologie department store? (Like I have to ask!)

“There are secret opportunities hidden inside every failure.” #GIRLBOSS

Turning a shower curtain into art. (This one would be striking on a wall, wouldn’t it?)

A small but stylish kitchen.

I’ve always loved the (out-of-my-price-range) apple print from this post. Here’s a more affordable option.

And because Halloween is in 4 days.

(Isn’t that scary?)

This monster doughnut is the perfect Halloween treat. (Bite it before it bites you!)

Download this adorable “Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet” printable for a fun Halloween activity with your kids.

It’s an honor be included among some of my favorite DIYers in this round-up of no-carve pumpkin ideas.

More low maintenance Halloween decorations (copper tape pumpkins!) that even I could tackle.

Have a great week!
