Do you suffer with Insta envy? You know what I’m talking about! Some of the amazingly gorgeous mansions and ‘picture perfect’ homes with the perfect decor. I know our home will never look like that. But you know what?? That’s OK! Everyone’s house, everyone’s style and everyone’s situation is different! And so I love making the most of what we’ve…

Now, don’t judge me .. I promise you this pile of corks is NOT the result of 2020 lockdown!! .. I have been collecting corks for a while now. If I’m honest, I don’t really know why. It started off with collecting them from special occasions. The idea was to write the dates and occasions on them and put them…

Personally I really like a wreath. You can probably tell looking around this blog as I made these ones for Spring and Summer. BUT I get that not everyone is a fan of non Christmas wreaths and that’s OK too. So for all of you non-wreath lovers out there, let’s call it an autumn candle centerpiece. You can totally make…

When I was up in the loft recently digging out our autumn decorations (and having a loving glance at my Christmas decorations .. all in good time .. 😉 ) I came across these old Halloween treat buckets from our kids.

I bought this paper mache pumpkin last year in the sale (not that it was very expensive to begin with, but every little helps! 🙂 ). I wasn’t quite sure exactly what I would be doing with it so it’s been patiently waiting for autumn to come round. I’ve done plenty of decoupage projects before, but one thing I hadn’t…

When it comes to crafting I’m a bit of a hoarder. There, .. I said it! And when it comes to hoarding wood my husband is the same. Let’s just say sawdust is his glitter!! And sometimes I just have to steal some of his supplies (.. for some reason it never happens the other way around .. 😉 )….

Have you seen them?!! Those cute, fun seasonal doormats that are just perfect to welcome visitors to your home? Unfortunately I couldn’t see one doormat that I absolutely LOVED that ships to the UK (without taking out a loan). So, this weekend I finally decided to give it a go and make one for myself. I cut a stencil with…

You’ve probably seen me use spray paint on a few projects around this blog. It’s such an easy and quick way of transforming some items that don’t fit into your decor. And this owl was no different. He was a £5 find on Facebook Marketplace. You can’t tell from the picture, but he’s a tall fellow at about 26 cm….
