Home and Living Bank Holiday Restoration Challenge | My Home Office Shelfie Project

Today I’m sharing a post in collaboration with Nectar. I don’t know about you but sometimes it feels like tackling a new home project can be an unnecessary expense. This is probably the biggest reason I love making and DIY so much. It’s all about finding those clever ways that allow me to make my home beautiful without spending my next month’s mortgage payment or cutting too many corners. Most of the time this results in me learning how to build something myself or finding great hacks for getting cheap or free supplies and today I’m sharing a project that… Read More

One Room Challenge Week 3 | All Walls

OK, we’re halfway through this challenge and I’m starting to feel the pressure. I’m hoping this is going to be one of those moments that looks like we’re not making any progress, but all of a sudden everything comes together in the 11th hour for a last minute come back. Now is the time I need to commit to my plans and put my money where my mouth is. But for the moment we’re back to planning. I’ve been going back and forward on the colour I want to paint the walls. I want to keep the room clean and… Read More

DIY Sequin Wrapped Baskets

If you’ve had an Easter weekend anything like mine you’ll need an easy, evening project to relax and destress. And there’s nothing like some stretchy sequin trim to help ease all the worries of the world. This project is super easy and requires absolutely no skill other than using a hot glue gun without burning yourself (which yes, can be quite a skill if you want to avoid fingertip burns!) You can use this tutorial to update any baskets that need a little refresh or perhaps patching up. The bigger the basket the wider you want the sequin trim. Let’s… Read More

One Room Challenge | Three Rooms Inspired by the Sofa

It’s week two of the One Room Challenge so it’s time to start making some decisions or it’s never going to happen! Last week I shared my living room before pictures with you and today I’m going to share my plans and ideas for filling the space. Staring with the most important item of all. In my opinion, the central focus of any living room is the sofa. Most likely the largest object in the room, the couch is not only a design statement but also the most used piece of furniture. It needs to bring the room together as… Read More

DIY Mirror & Tassel Letter Holder

After moving house there’s a seemingly never ending pile of paperwork to be done. You think you get that all out of the way during the process of the purchase, but you forget that once you have moved you need to tell everyone that you’ve moved house. And I don’t mean your great aunt and best friend from school you haven’t seen for ten years (although you might want to shout it from the rooftops). I’m talking about the day to day, mundane stuff here. But no matter how far we’ve moved to doing all of our admin online these… Read More

Last Minute DIY Wooden Easter Egg Cup (and a little eggstra)

I know, I’m cutting it dangerously close to Easter to start posting themed DIY’s. But I figured if I could whip this up in half an hour then that gives you chance to make this 184 times over… yes I did the maths. Of course that would mean you don’t eat, sleep, work or do anything but make more egg cups than you’ll ever need in a life time. But I’m just saying, not impossible. And did you know you can also eat eggs after Easter? I know. I’m a maverick. So if you’re reading this the day after the… Read More

Make Yourself Comfortable with this Easy DIY Wooden Studio Sofa

It feels like I spent all of this last winter planning, organising and just getting myself ready for the spring. Back in September I decided I would put a lot of work into my studio and at the same time we were in the middle of a house hunt (I know, this is all I talk about these days! But it’s actually all I’ve done for months now!) As the days have been getting lighter I finally feel like my workload is too. The studio is starting to look something like I imagined it all those months ago. Of course,… Read More

One Room Challenge – The Living Room

Now that we have finally moved everything over to the new house, given back the key’s to our old flat and (hopefully) completed the never-ending paperwork that comes with changing your address, I actually feel like I can start thinking about design and decor. The fun part of home ownership! Of course, I’ve had this in the back of my mind for many years. I seem to be creating more Pinterest boards by the day including some pretty lofty ideas for what we could achieve, but others are more down to earth and practical. And while the dream home might have… Read More
