It's finally done! Sorry it has taken me soooooo long. I'd like to say it's because I was super busy, though the truth is, it's because I was totally procrastinating over writing this tutorial due to the fact I knew it was going to be a beast! Not that making the...
Who woulda thought an instant coffee jar wearing a belt could look so cute? Not me, if I'm honest. This was one of those experimental projects which could have gone one of two ways...epic fail or surprising success. Thankfully, it appears to have been the latter!...
After lots of indecision, uncertainty, and sanding, it's done! I questioned myself A LOT throughout this project, and it really wasn't until I pulled everything together that I realised I had actually pulled everything off! In case you've missed my previous posts...

Firstly, I have to express my gratitude for such an amazing response to my last post. Given I almost didn't publish it I was completely overwhelmed by the comments and emails. Thank you all. When I shared my parent's bathroom refresh last month many of you asked to...
This is one post I thought I'd never publish. If you follow me socially (on Facebook or Instagram) you may have seen a sneak peek of this makeover and read about my reservations in sharing it here. Basically, this is my gran's house which we suddenly needed to sell...
I know it's been a long time coming, though the most protracted bathroom makeover in history is ready for its close up...or wide angle...or medium range shot...or whatever sort of photo it takes to finally get this bleeping room up on the blog! There's really no good...
I wanted a really simple Christmas tree this year. Complete with earthy tones and natural elements off-set by a delicate smattering of little white stars. However, when I couldn't find any said little white stars, I figured I'd have a go at making my own. And I'm so...
