I finally gave in and bought one...now to figure out how to use it!
Minty Keen on Eight West
Minty Keen was featured in two different segments on Eight West, and while no Cora Anne items were featured this time (see the last segment here), you can still find some Cora Anne item cameos if you watch!
Fresh Start Sunday
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Before & After : Guest Room
It occurred to me that I shared the before & after from our kitchen in our summer house, but I left you hanging on the rest of the place. Trust me, there's not a single square inch of that house that we didn't re-do!
~
How about the guest room next? And don't worry, just like the kitchen, this room too started out ugly, got worse, and then finally got better...much better!
here's how the old owners had it...complete with nasty carpet, nasty walls and a nasty pipe that ran through the room from the floor to the ceiling
the room required a lot of dry wall repair. the "box" built against the one wall was the only solution for covering up the exposed pipe
with the carpet pulled up, you can see the pieced-together sub floor. It was like a big, uneven puzzle
walls getting better!
ahh! primer, paint (Behr Cottage White), new sub floor and baseboards...much better!
and the fresh carpet really made the room
~
Next it was time to fill the room, and this was my favorite part! I did a little shopping in our basement storage room and came up with just about everything I needed, starting with this headboard that I reupholstered in a linen fabric with large metallic flowers on it
using 1 yard of the fabric for the headboard, I had just a small strip leftover. I cut the strip into three pieces, turned each one and stitched them back together which gave me a large enough piece to make a coordinating pillow!
an old TV tray with a serving tray on top and some spare decorations made up the night stand
there's a small nook on your left as you walk into the room. We found this dresser from IKEA which fits it perfectly. Topped off with some family beach pictures, love!
and the finished project!!

Here's my decor breakdown:
- Fabric for headboard ($20)
- White quilt from TJMaxx ($30)
- Dresser from IKEA ($129)
- Bed, headboard, chair, art, nightstand & accessories ($0)

With the slanted ceilings and subtle decor, this room is so cozy!

Geraniums + Pumpkins
Usually by this time of year, the summertime plants and flowers on our front porch are long gone. This year I tried something new on our porch though...hot pink geraniums. And much to my amazement, it's nearly November and they're still going strong. Not only are there still blooms, there are actually new buds still growing on them!
Oh how I would love to have Fall mums with our pumpkins, but I just don't have the heart to throw these out while they're still going strong! So hot pink geraniums + pumpkins it is this year.
Now let's just hope they don't turn into Christmas geraniums!

I Heart Faces : Pink
This week's I Heart Faces theme of Pink was a little too easy... Let's face it, with a three year old girl, I pretty much live in a sea of pink!
