DIY Easy Rope Rainbow even a Minimalist will Love

It’s my firm belief that no matter what your decor style is there’s always room for a rainbow wall hanging in your life! Don’t believe me? Stick with it for a minute. I’ve seen so many beautiful, colourful versions out there (check back in later this week for the roundup) but I realise not everyone wants to go big and bold with their colour choices. So I got to work creating something more minimal for those of you who like your rainbows a little more understated. This smaller version fits into any space. In fact, I’ve styled this up in two… Read More

DIY Painted Wooden Shelving

Thank you to Grand Illusions who have partnered with me on this post. There’s a lot to be said for shelving (and most of it has been said before, but bear with me). Yeah, it’s practical. We all know this well, but it is also an opportunity to get creative. Styling a shelf gives you endless options to refresh your decor, depending on the items you choose to display. You can easily switch things up when you get bored or feel like a change. Even something as simple as turning books around can create an entirely new look (and challenge… Read More

DIY Terracotta Air Dry Clay Earrings – Four Ways

I have three levels of how I wear jewellery. It’s either 1, nothing at all. 2, one small, understated piece or 3, big statement earrings. My new favourite is the latter. After giving birth to Ollen (yeah, I some how make every blog post about this at the moment) I lost a lot of my hair. I’ve never had great hair and it’s quite difficult to style at the best of times, but this last year I’ve struggled with it daily. What I’ve learnt is that a great pair of earrings can really help you look a bit more together… Read More

DIY Crochet Net Bags

If I’m heading to my local farmers market, my must have item is a net bag, because, you know, I’ve got to show off all that beautiful veg I’m buying while I’m there. But also because as well as being the height of supermarket chic, net bags are amazingly practical. More than you think (because yeah, a bag with a hundred holes in doesn’t immediately scream practicality). They fold down small so you down need to carry a huge handbag. In fact I usually carry one in each of my smaller bags for those ‘just in case’ moments. Which if… Read More

Choosing the Right Laminate Flooring – Where to Start

This post has been sponsored by Direct Wood Flooring. All opinions are my own. It’s no secret I love laminate floor. I know, real wood flooring is amazing and don’t get me wrong, I’d love to deck out my whole house in a gorgeous chevron frosted oak (a girl can dream). While I am saving all my pennies to make it happen in just my kitchen, the rest of my home needs a more budget option. My house is a relatively new build. It’s about 10 years old and squeezed into the place a garage once stood. I’m guessing it… Read More

DIY IKEA Decor Hack: Update Small Bedroom Storage with Wooden Detail

When space is limited, you need to make each piece of furniture count. Our bedroom is a little on the snug side, so each piece needs a purpose and to be beautiful. There’s no blending in with the rest of the furniture, because well, there is no rest of the furniture! I had tried to get away with having a very minimal amount of storage in this room, but as our bathroom is storage sparse also (don’t get me started on how badly this space has been designed) my products and makeup were starting to make a home on every… Read More

How to Make Easter Eggs – Five Ways

Can I just start with a big thank you to Hobbycraft for sponsoring this post! I’m living the dream making chocolate eggs for this blog! For me Easter is all about the chocolate egg. I’m not usually the biggest chocolate fan, but at this time of year I can make an exception. This year instead of stocking up on basic eggs, I’m doing something a little bit special and making ours. It’s true. You could walk into just about any shop that sells food and buy yourself an egg that would do the job, no matter your budget or… Read More

DIY Terracotta Clay Hanging Planters

Guys, I’m falling back in love with clay! Ok, we never really fell out of love, but this is the first clay project I’ve (successfully) done since Ollen was born… over one year ago. And I call myself a craft blogger. The shame! Don’t worry though (because of course, you’re all panicking because it’s been a while since I’ve been on the clay) I have already got another clay project in the works for you. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! I have to thank the Make it Challenge ladies for asking me to join in with this Springs… Read More
