A few weeks ago I finally got to drag the mish-mash of plastic tubs and cardboard boxes out from under Charlotte's bed and roll in some new, perfectly proportioned timber drawers instead. Although original said "mish-mash" was jammed in there pretty tightly the...
Okay, here it is. Just in case you missed it, in this recent post I innocently posed the question of an abstract art tutorial following the surprising success of my own flukey attempt. I thought there might be a little interest though the response was actually...
In keeping with my completely, absolutely, totally not weird obsession with budget-friendly wall art I wanted to share a really cool and easy way to create your very own custom 'paintings'. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the concept of digitally turning photos...
