Fern Study Prints with Free Printables!

At the moment I'm really into vintage illustrated nature studies so for my living room I deciding on some fern prints, mainly because I think they're cute though also because of their green foliage. You see, to a fickle girl like me who can't seem to commit to colour,...

Library Card Cabinet Upcycle

Library Card Cabinet Upcycle

Whada you do when you come across something you really love? Something for your home that you know there is no practical place or use for? Do you buy it just because? Just because you might never come across one again? Just because it was a really good price? Just...

The Industrial Dining Room Light

After I blogged about my mini dining room update I got a lot of questions about the light fixture so thought I'd dedicate a little post to it.     I'd been inactively looking to replace both the original fixtures in my conjoined living-dining room since we...

Before Charlotte actually out-grows her cot I thought I'd better finish off her room! Well, for that reason and also cause it's about time I finally shared it on my blog! Of course it would have been completed four months ago, before she actually arrived in the world,...

Rocking Chair for the Nursery

I have a confession to make; I'm not really much of a sewer. There, I've said it, and the truth is, I don't even own a machine! I mean, I can do basic straight lines - like pillows and the like (as you may have seen in previous posts) - though ask me about slip covers...

DIY Repurposed Basket Ceiling Light

DIY Repurposed Basket Ceiling Light

I know repurposed light shades aren't exactly a new idea though I did kinda just make this one up as I went along. I really wanted a hanging pendant in the nursery though the ceiling is just too low so I instead opted to transform a standard batten fix (flush mount)...

Distressed Coffee Table

Distressed Coffee Table

Update: Check out my complete distressed coffee table tutorial here. I'll be the first to admit I've been a very, very bad blogger of late (tist, tist to me). And whilst I wouldn't be surprised if due to my month long hiatus there's no-one still around here to...
