Link Party #13 Features

Hello everyone.  Sorry I was absent from the blog for a little bit.  I was having a design dilemma.  Have you ever had a ton of projects to do with a limited amount of money and can't figure out what you should do first?  Well, that is what I have been going through lately.  

 The office/craft room is pretty much done except for a few little projects.  Now that it is mostly done, I don't know which projects I should tackle next.  There is still so much to do and the money isn't going to finish everything.  So I have to figure out which project is more important to me.  

 I can start our living room, but won't be able to finish it.  I can renovate our bathroom completely and do some updates on the kitchen and bedroom that need a few changes.  I can do a few outside projects.  Or, I can do a little bit of everything.  I think doing a little bit of everything is the best solution, but then it will be awhile before I can finish any of those projects completely. 

 I would love any suggestions from my lovely readers.  For now, here are my favorites from last week's link party.
Shadow Box Frame Turned Tray by Two Everyday Divas

Organized Linen Closet by Suburble

DIY Sunburst Mirror by Creating Space For Five

DIY String State Canvas by Andrea Arch

Double Duty Laptop Table by Meeha Meeha

    Lauren! Thanks for the feature!

    I hear you on the "design dilemma"s. I'm actually stuck at a bit of a design/craft road block right now! Grumble.

    Either or, thanks for the feature-love! :)

    I feel the way you do most of the time! SO much to do, so little money. :) I've been trying to wrap my head around a headboard I want to make but not feeling motivated to actually do it yet. Hopefully by this weekend it will come to me. Great features! Sharon

      I am sure you will come up with some fabulous headboard and have it done before I can even decide what I want to do next.

    Thank you so much for featuring me! Good luck with the to do list...it is so hard to start something and not finish....I would say most of the rooms in my house are like that now haha. Little at a time...

      Thanks Brittany. I know that is my problem. I hate starting something if I can't finish it. But we have to do what we can so I guess my house will be half done for awhile too.

    I can completely relate. I m doing renovation to our house too n on top of that alot of sewing projects needed to be finished, then doctor's appointment recently has me scared and have to go to a specialist and we want to have a baby too oh my gosh..... but I know everything will work out in the end :) so don't you stress too much!

      Thanks Mandy. I'll try not to stress, but it never really works.

      It's so true! My hubby tells me not to stress over the x ray since there is nothing I can do till I see the specialist but I still do stress n lose sleep over it. But renovations are something u can control at least to a point, so as long as you have a plan and slowly work toward it, it's still progress! I hate having things half done too but unless we r millionaires the things we want just have to wait lol

    Thanks for the feature!!

    I try to remind myself that rooms evolve... in my house nothing is ever 100% complete! I am always changing my mind about something of rearranging something. So I try not to let the 50% (or even 10%) completed rooms get me down. I just keep moving forward slowly but surely. Just start with something you really want if you are passionate about the change it will be more fun to tackle the projects!

      Thanks Chrissy. Great points. Most of the rooms in my house that I deemed 100% done need rearranged or changed because I have changed my mind about something. I liked the motto for One Kings Lane, Design is never done. Amen.
