The Blogger Dilemma.

Sometimes being a design blogger is a little tough on the good old self-esteem.I try my best to provide design content that is accessible, affordable, and relatable to everyone.
My own home is packed full of DIY projects, re-purposed furniture, and thrifty finds.Our family lives on a very tight budget so creating a space on a dime is a must. We rent, live in small spaces, and have to be very creative when decorating. I do my own blog photography, graphics, and use simple inexpensive templates.

There are so many design bloggers out there with stunning home tours, and it can be hard not to compare. I often think of what my own home would look like if I had the funds to make it happen. Oh how fun that would be! Now don't get me wrong, I do love the challenge of designing on a tight budget, but there is no denying that a top-notch home tour can be helpful in the blog world!

I know there are some pretty simple guidelines to keeping a blog successful and readers intrigued, but I often find myself waffling back and forth on committing to those. I am the worst with keeping a series running regularly, and I tend to be more of a "fly by the seat of my pants" blogger. My current blog goals are to create more consistency, post more regularly about home projects, and check in more often with updates from design projects.

So, I would love your input. What keeps you around these parts? Thrifty finds? DIY projects? Design inspiration? I know it can't possibly be my awful writing skills :) Please share!
