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

Thank you to everyone who linked up.  I hope you all come back later today for another link party.  Have a great day.

Link Party #12 Features

Hi everyone.  What a busy couple of days.  On Easter, we went to see Green Day in Pittsburgh for my birthday.  My birthday was yesterday.  (Yes, I am an April fools baby.  I have heard that about a thousand times in my life.)  For my birthday, my husband said he would get as much done in the office/craft room that he could.  So we were busy most of yesterday to get as much done as we could.  We didn't get it all done but, I hope that we can get it finished this weekend.  


We had another great link party last week.  I just love all the projects that everyone links up.  Here are my favorites.

Flea Market Finds Friday

It's Friday.  That means another installment of Flea Market Finds. 
 
This was the best flea market outing I have ever had.  I wasn't even sure there was going to be many vendors at this outdoor flea market because it was still kind of cold.  It was suppose to be 49 degrees.  I thought that because it is warmer than it has been, some people will set up outdoors.  Boy was I wrong.  I guess it was like the official start to the flea market season here.  Tons of vendors and vendors with great stuff for dirt cheap.  This is what I came home with.    
 
 
This orange chair that needs some TLC was only $3.  Can you believe that?

 
These brass lamps were $15 for the pair.

 

My first Viking glass piece to start my collection.  Only $3.  Another vendor selling Viking glass said that we got a deal on it because she was selling 2 similar pieces that were red for $15 each.

 
This camera I bought at an antique store on Monday.  Only $5.
 
 
That is it.  There were other things that I could have bought if I had a truck.  Our car doesn't have a big trunk and the seats don't fold down so, it wasn't possible to buy them.  There was a set of 4 wrought iron chairs that were really cool.  They needed painted and new upholstery.  Also, 2 red velvet chairs that needed some work that were only $40 for the pair.  Oh well.  Maybe I will find something cool next time.  I am pretty happy with everything that I did buy.
 
Have you been flea marketing yet?  I'd love to find some other flea markets near by if you know of any, let me know.

DIY Mail Sorter Shelf




I am sure you have seen this mail sorter shelf on Pinterest or in blogland.  When I saw it here, I knew I had to do it.  It is the easiest project.

All you need is an existing shelf or a piece of wood to make your own shelf (which is what we did) and 2 packs of Knuff magazine files for Ikea.

KNUFF Magazine file, set of 2 IKEA Untreated wood; can be treated with oil or glazing paint for a personal touch and a more durable surface.
Ikea

Screw the magazine files to the shelf and you are done.  Super easy.  You can follow the link from the original source for more in depth instructions.  It is pretty self explanatory though.


I am now on Pinterest.  If you would like to follow me, you can do so here.

Also, my Tuesday link party is still going on.  I'd love it if you would link up if you haven't already.  You can link up here.
