The Most Beautiful Wooden Kitchen Inspiration I Could Find on Pinterest

(Click on images for credits) I’ve been planning the kitchen since the day we moved in almost two years ago now. Someone told me not to make any big changes until we had lived in the house for a year. At the time I thought I’d never be able to live without gutting it for a whole year, but after that year flew by and then another I realised I needed to start making some key decisions and maybe scale back some of my more lofty ambitions if I was going to ever have a kitchen I enjoyed being in….

Finding your Timeless Style with Habitat (AD)

In collaboration with Habitat. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Fall For DIY! The funny thing is when Habitat asked me to write about ‘what timeless style means to me’ I was in the process of planning my kitchen renovation. The kitchen is one of the places in your home that most people don’t change regularly. Some elements can be updated and refreshed but I’d say you want your kitchen to give you 10 years of life before thinking about a bit change. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the idea of this and make more safe choices… Read More

Shelf House Hack – IVAR IKEA

This kid of mine is getting a real personality on him. We were having a great time playing in his tent just the other day and as I wiggled myself in he shouted at the top of his voice “take in your cow!!” Right, thanks kiddo. Yes, it was a squash and a squeeze (one for the parents out there) but come on, why not the hen, or even the goat? Straight to the cow, really? If this means nothing to you, don’t worry, I’m moving on. But the purpose of this story is to 1, cry about how fast… Read More

DIY No Sew Round Cushions

This post has been sponsored by Beacon Adhesives. Thank you for supporting Fall For DIY! We’re spending every sunny day we can in the garden before the colder months arrive and we need to pile on the layers before venturing out of the house. As well as laying down on the grass and digging in the unused flower beds it’s actually really nice to have somewhere more comfortable to sit and eat/read/badly sing nursery rhymes (and annoy my neighbours) in calmer moments. I’m basically bringing my living room out into nature. Since Ollen turns every item both in and out… Read More

Upcycle these Planters in Minutes! DIY Outdoor Wall Planters

AD – This post is sponsored by Gorilla Glue! Thank you for supporting Fall For DIY Every spring we’ve spent in this house I’ve looked longingly out into my garden, wistfully imagining the perfect makeover. Replacing ugly tile, fixing wood panelling over red brick on red brick on red brick, plants growing and not dying or being eaten by rabbits/slugs/snails, somewhere cosy and private to sit (our garden is very overlooked). And each year I dream up new ways to do it. In reality we’ve done pretty much nothing from this list and instead had to spend our time working… Read More

DIY Raffia Tasseled Mirror

Have we all got a spool of raffia ribbon hiding at the back of a cupboard somewhere? It seems like one of those materials that’s endlessly useful and never used for anything. I’m sure I’ve wrapped gifts with mine, then forgot about it when the next occasion comes around. But even if, unlike me, you are not an unorganised hoarder of random craft supplies raffia is very easy and inexpensive to get hold of. Then once you’ve made these mirrors you’ll always have a spool to forget about when it comes to wrapping gifts.. But in all seriousness, it’s a… Read More
