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.
Create your own indoor wall garden without using any tools! Perfect for rented spaces or tiles and backsplash in the kitchen!
Plant pots and planters are one of life’s little joys. You can pack so much personality into what is essentially a vessel for holding something else. I look around at mine and they are all so unique and add character in the most subtle way. So today I’m working with Wayfair, (who, I’ll say it now, have the biggest array of planters I’ve ever seen. There’s literally something for everyone! Trust me – actually don’t just trust me – take a look here) to show you that you do not have to be a green thumbed plant enthusiast to bring… Read More
I’m generally pretty optimistic when it comes to renovating, building and DIYing. I have a can do attitude which drives me to start projects probably more adventurous than I should and which can get me into some pretty stressful situations. But, when I do find I’ve got myself in too deep, the thing I love the most is the learning process. Somehow I always make it through to the other end. Whether that’s by watching a Youtube tutorial or 300, or actually hiring someone to do the job. I feel much better informed on the way out as I did… Read More
Ad – Samsung has very kindly supplied us with our new fridge freezer. All opinions are my own. As kitchen renovations go ours has been a lesson in how not to do pretty much everything. We read 50 articles on how to organise a DIY kitchen refit, planned each step along the way, bought all our new kitchen cabinets, and then went rogue. I don’t even know where our carefully planned lists are anymore. We’re just winging it. But so far it’s working. We have half a kitchen complete and not a day has gone by when we haven’t been… Read More
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I feel a little bit shell shocked that we’re in 2020 already. If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that I don’t make any resolutions or goals in January. I’m still recovering mentally from the Christmas build up, so instead I use January as a wind down. I like to reflect and regroup and take my time to set goals. It’s easy to get swept up with the ‘New Year, new me’ frenzy but there’s actually no rush. You can set goals whenever you’re ready. Start them on any given Monday, or Wednesday. Or… Read More
Guys, I’m nothing if not a last minute productivity machine. I love nothing more than a deadline to get me powering through the to do list. The build up to Christmas is no different. It’s been non stop and I’m still going! Don’t get me wrong. As soon as I wake up on the 26th I will give myself a much needed rest. But I enjoy the busyness of the festive period. I’ve embraced the fact that I’m never going to be the person that’s ready and waiting in November. In fact I actually like last minute wrapping. I still… Read More
This post is sponsored by Brother. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Fall For DIY. Ok, before we get to the reason your all here I have a small tangent to veer off into for just a moment. Bare with me while I take this detour but… How have I lived my life up until this moment without owning a label maker!? I’m not even joking – about not owning a label maker and how on earth I’ve resisted the urge until now. I’ve always wanted one, but it seemed like one of those things you buy, use… Read More
