DIY Dyed Salt Dough Star Decorations

I’m quickly learning that my usual crafty Christmas is going to be a little pared down this year. A toddler and a newborn are keeping me on my toes and just doing the bare minimum, decor wise, has become an ask. There is something slightly magical about midnight decorating… even if you are falling asleep as you do it! So with that in mind I wanted to try some family crafts which might not end up looking like a half finished scribble on a bit of paper. Ollen gets bored of colouring very quickly but he really enjoys rolling out… Read More

Small Space Shelving for Shelfie Styling Anywhere!

There are a few corners in our home that could really benefit from a shelf. Sometimes for an extra bit of (always needed) storage, but sometimes just for visual effect. While I always have a few DIY ideas up my sleeve, I’ve been keeping an eye out for the perfect ready built shelf for a small corner in my living room for some time. I’m prepared to spend a little more on this space to get the right piece, but I always look at budget options as well, because who doesn’t like a bargain? Here are my favourite slimline shelving… Read More

How to DIY Painted Wall Arches

Ok, so these DIY painted wall arches might be my favourite home decor DIY to date! It’s definitely up there in my top five without a doubt. I’ve been seeing more of these cute arches all over Pinterest and Instagram recently and it gave me an idea to create a quick refresh to my bedroom. I had planned to paint the whole wall behind my bed, but this was so much quicker and as I was changing up my IKEA SVALNÄS system anyway, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to go big! Even though I was pretty happy with what… Read More

Make this Easy Letter Cake for any Celebration

This post has been sponsored by Samsung. Is there any better way to celebrate than with cake? I wanted to make a pretty big deal out of Father’s Day this year. Alex has been an incredible dad and partner (even more than usual) this past few months and he really deserves a bit of pampering. First port of call, a cake. And not just any cake. I’m getting a bit more adventurous with my baking plans now I have an oven that can cope with them. (If you want to read all about my interesting previous oven and the revelation… Read More

I’ve been meaning to makeover my IVAR cabinets for a while now. I’ll show the before photo in a minute and you’ll see why! These cabinets have been ‘refreshed’ a few times now.

DIY Easy Planter Makeover

Many of us have just spent the last few months staring at the same four walls. I feel like my home is in need of a refresh, but apart from the odd accessory here and there, I don’t want to start replacing everything I own when in reality I just need to get out the house more! Maybe it’s the spring weather but I’m craving more colour and can I say fun in my home decor! I think I need something to bring a little joy to the mundane of daily life right now. I’m sorry, that sounds so melodramatic,… Read More

How I use my Samsung Dual Cook Flex Oven

Our old oven actually made me fall out of love with cooking in a major way. I’ve never been really into baking, but I’m a tryer. Every single thing I tried, that oven created a disaster. It was disheartening and I just stopped making anything at all. The Samsung Dual Cook has given me more confidence to start cooking and baking from scratch again.
