Sat Night Special link party 118 - with Picture Perfect #1




Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #118, the multi themed link party! 

* Home Decor
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.
So... do we have any big time gorgeous Picture Perfect reveals today?

Due to technical difficulties, progress is slow on our two rooms.


My photo studio just got some baseboards which is cool!

Truncated post: click to read more below




And my son's room now has a chalkboard but the wall painting isn't done.

But know what? That's ok. This challenge is all about getting one room completed even if it takes awhile.

So how did you do with your Picture Perfect room? 
Link up your own room progress or reveal in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

Want another chance to join in? Comment that you'd like to see this run again and if enough respond, we'll run another on Feb 24th!

PP UPDATE:

Due to popular demand, Picture Perfect will be a regular feature on SNS on the last weekend of each month! (until we lose interest) Yahoo! Now git ta work! :)  

Upcoming themes for Feb in this order:

revisiting: old ladders
revisiting: old windows
antique tools

 
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

 1. DIY home projects only pretty please. Items for sale must be in tutorial form on your blog.

2. Please link back to the party (text or button) within your post. See BUTTONS under main blog header.

3. Only projects new to SNS please. The themed linkup is an exception.

4. By linking up here, you're cool with me featuring you on the blog,  Pinterest, or FJI Facebook with no additional permission required.

Join us on Facebook this weekend for party highlights!

    You have accomplished soo much- You're right- it's about getting the room finished not the time line that is important! We already have way to much pressure out there so it's wonderful that we can give each other in blog land a break!

    Thank you for your sweet as always hosting!

    Thanks for hosting. You have had a very busy week. The chalkboard paint wall is great, looking forward to the next post on progress. Studio looks quite usable right now although everything you do/add/etc. works. Looking forward to the next posts on that room as well.

    I wish I could say my room was complete. Its just not:( I would love antoher shot at it! But I am taking the time to plan it out to be sure it is exactly what I am looking for. So if it takes a little more time that is okay by me.
