Paint this DIY Print Effect Patterned Lampshade

If you’ve read the blog at all before you probably know I have a thing about good (and bad) light fittings. Ok, so you might need to know me a little better than the odd read now and then, but take my word for it, I cannot walk into a room without noticing the lighting. It’s a strange fixation really and it came out of nowhere. It’s not as if I ever specialised in lighting design or worked in the field in any capacity. In fact I don’t know that much about this area apart from what I like and what… Read More

DIY Polymer Clay Coffee Table Tray

Our coffee table has been looking a little bare (I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere) recently. As much as I love a minimal look, sometimes you need to add in some colour and embrace a more messy side. Well, a controlled mess of course! That’s why I love this technique I’ve use to create this DIY polymer clay coffee table tray. It’s fun, easy and no two pieces are ever the same. Play with colour, shape and accents to make a coffee table tray you love and only you have. You’ll need: Polymer Clay | Tools | Oven… Read More

Curate your Keychain with these DIY Contemporary Cork Keyrings

Happy Monday friends! I’m kicking off this week with a really easy project you can whip up today. Two months after getting the keys to our new house I still haven’t added any keyrings. Isn’t that the main priority when you’re moving into a new home? No? Jokes aside, I do appreciate a keyring that 1, makes your keys easier to find in the bottom of your bag. 2, Distinguishes them from the other sets of keys in the house. (This is particularly useful when you combine studio and home keys and the other half ends up taking your set to… Read More

How to Add Colour to a Minimal Room

Now that spring has well and truly begun I’m starting to add more colour into my wardrobe, Instagram feed and my home decor. But moving away from the safety of minimalism can be pretty difficult. Especially if you’re someone who doesn’t know where to start when adding bright accents. But there are ways you can keep your minimal winter styling and enjoy warm, bold colour at the same time. If you stick to a few guidelines and be conscious with your decision making you can enjoy a colourful yet chic home without accidentally creating the dreaded colour clash! I’ve teamed… Read More

Making Little DIY Ball Pull Boxes with Sugru | @fallfordiy

DIY Little Ball Pull Boxes

When I was a kid my sister used to sing the song little boxes to me, all. the. time. For some reason she was obsessed with that song, but (like many songs she’d sing to me) she knew very few of the words! So I basically knew where the boxes were, what they were made of and nothing else. To this day I don’t know the words to that song (are there any more), but it was on a loop in my head while making these. Luckily that wasn’t for long because thanks to Sugru Mouldable Glue these boxes took… Read More

One Room Challenge Week 5 | Updates and Three Ways to Style a Coffee Table

Ok, I’m starting to panic. A lot has changed here in my living room, but I’m not even close to finishing everything that I had planned to do. It might be cheating but I’ll probably have to extend the challenge for a couple more weeks. I know! Totally against the rules but I won’t tell if you don’t! And who knows? Perhaps I’ll pull it out of the bag and So far the new sofa is here! I’m going to rave about it in my final post, but this sofa is so dreamy. And thanks to my pop up new… Read More

50 Must do DIYs April – One Year Anniversary

It has officially been one whole year since the first 50 Must Do DIYs post and what a year it’s been. It’s felt like nothing and everything has happened in that time. The amazing thing about blogging is you can almost go back in time. When I see the photos and read my thoughts from a year ago, it’s like I’m back there, feeling those feelings all over again. To celebrate 50 DIYs anniversary (and to help distinguish the new from the old) I’ve given this series a little makeover. I hope you like the new look! Lavender Sachets Concrete Planters… Read More

DIY Applique Fabric Canvas for Mother’s Day

My mom is a lucky thing. I know I’m meant to be saying I’m the lucky one for having her but in this case she gets a great deal. I’ve made her this DIY applique fabric canvas for Mother’s day even though in the UK the holiday has already been and gone. And while we celebrated with a lunch and flowers it’s time for her to have her second Mother’s Day of the year. Why does she get two you ask? Well, as well as being so special I have been asked by Mixbook what I would create for Mother’s… Read More
