50 Must Do DIY’s | September

[tps_header] It’s always a fun time in the blogging world around the changes of the season and summer to autumn is probably the best seasonal shift to make. Colours become deeper and richer, Halloween rears its freaky head and everything becomes softer, warmer and a little more spicy! But while we’re getting all the autumn feels we can take a look back over our shoulders and wave goodbye to the summer! For once I’m actually looking forward to the cooler weather. To bonfires, to warm jumper and those endless hot chocolate recipes. Bring it on October! //above// DIY Rope Trivet DIY… Read More

Easy DIY Media Centre Sideboard Makeover

I’ve never been one to shy away from a challenge, especially when it comes to a little DIY. I’m not the sort of person to wait for someone else to complete a task for me. Basically, I’m just way too impatient and when I want something do I’d rather just get on with it. It’s why I have no fear of what might be traditionally seen as a man’s job. Apart from knowing I can do most of these things better than half the men I know, I’m also damn stubborn. If someone tells me I can’t do something because I’m a woman, you… Read More

Sideboard Inspiration

[tps_header] After my first sideboard DIY makeover I got a taste for taking a piece of furniture. Something that would otherwise be thrown away and transforming it into something not only nicer to look at, but also easier to use and more functional. So if I get the chance to spruce up an unloved sideboard I am jumping at the chance! Knowing this, a friend of mine gave me a media centre and I’ve been making big plans ever since. Some feasible… and some much more adventurous. I wanted to share my sideboard inspiration (click for links) with you today before I… Read More

DIY Document Envelopes – Organise your Receipts, Invoices and Bills

I have to admit in my business I am mostly… Ok, all about the fun. My inbox is my nemesis and invoicing is just about doable and that’s only because it’s how I get paid! When it comes to organising receipts and documents I am woefully disorganised. To the point that everything gets quickly pushed into one, big folder and hidden away. Out of site, out of mind right!? As I always say, the one way to make me do something is to make it pretty. I have a few more of these to make so I have one for… Read More

Learn how to Make these DIY Indigo Paper Bowls

So by now you guys know how much I love taking something old and unused and making into an (almost) brand new a beautiful item instead. Not only is this much better for our little planet, but it also means you don’t have to go out buying new materials. Sometimes I spend as much as I would on a ready made product just to get the supplies together. And while that can really be worth it to get the perfect creation, you might just want a quick, inexpensive accessory that is made from something you are going to throw away anyway…. Read More

How to get Back to the Good Old Days of Pinterest

I’ve actually found a way to turn back time. (ok, ok. Big statement there but here me out.) Remember those good old days when your Pinterest feed actually had pins in from the people you follow circa 2014? When you Pinned something and everyone who followed you would see that pin and you know, pin it too. Then things started to change. This might be a little controversial but when Recommended Pins (as they were known back then) first launched on Pinterest I loved them! Every 5-10 pins from my followers popped up something beautiful based on the pins I… Read More

How to Make a DIY Midcentury Fruit Basket

Like many people my diet changes drastically with the seasons. In the summer I just cannot get enough salad and fruit (on the side of pizza/burgers of course), but as soon as the weather starts hinting at winter I’m all about the carbs. Forget adding pomegranate to that salad. I’ll add mash potato, and can someone take away these green leaves, please! Comfort eating is my favourite thing to do, so over the years I’ve got it down to a fine art. The thing is I’ve actually come to realise that I’d probably benefit from all those vitamins more in the… Read More
