Once again, the Christmas season is upon us and once again, I’m running late with my Christmas DIYs. Every year, without fault. I’m like a really rubbish Santa Claus. Luckily, this Advent calendar DIY doesn’t have to be just for December… this would make a brilliant gift for all year round and is so simple […]

Vintage Display Cabinet Makeover
One of my favourite things to do is to makeover furniture. I find it relaxing and quite therapeutic. Handing the reigns over to someone else is neither relaxing nor therapeutic. Yes, I am a control freak and I’m not afraid to admit it. At least when it comes to interiors… When Brian said that he […]
Magazine File Makeover: Hidden Bookshelf Storage
Today’s little project was a last minute makeover for the Revamp, Restyle, Reveal challenge and one that I liked so much that I felt that it was worth sharing. As a hoarder, I love being able to use up leftover materials and this project makes use of the little scraps that I never thought I […]
My Top 5 DIY Problems Solved (On a Budget)
This post is in partnership with eBay.co.uk. Regardless of your budget, making any sort of effective change to your home can be daunting. It’s all very well reading a lovely blog post on ‘how to…’ but usually these projects require time and money and the last thing you want to do is waste either, doing […]
Living Room Makeover (with Revamp, Restyle, Reveal Season 3)
This living room makeover post is in partnership with the official Revamp Restyle Reveal sponsors as listed below. Thank you to the lovely Tamsyn for handing over to me on the RRR3 blog-hop.

IKEA Hack: DIY Table Lamp On A Budget
Today’s DIY is one that has been simmering in my head for a while. I’ve always been a huge fan of 70’s style and especially love the strong shapes and space-age designs that defined the lighting of that era. Mixing in a statement lighting piece is one of the best ways to elevate your decor and […]
Planning Our DIY Garden Shed on a Budget
Although we are still a long long (LONG) way from having a functioning back garden (aside from a well-used washing line, that is), I’ve started prepping and planning for our DIY garden shed on a budget. This, much like the extension, has been a long time coming. If you’re new to the blog, or would […]
Revamp, Restyle, Reveal; DesignSixtyNine’s Guest Room Reveal.
Yes, I know! I’m DesignSixtyNine and you probably already know it’s my guest room reveal… It just sounds like much more of an entrance to give it the full title. I like to be fancy sometimes. As part of Revamp, Restyle, Reveal, all ten participants are taking part in a ‘blog hop’, linking each blogger […]
Before and After; Vanity Unit Upcycle
Following on from last week’s bathroom reveal (here), I thought I would share one of my favourite ‘little’ projects: the vanity unit upcycle. Out of all the customisation projects I created for myself during this renovation*sigh*, this was one of the most straightforward… and most pleasing. It all started with a dream. We wanted something […]
Bathroom Makeover Reveal
Let me be the first to say it; this bathroom makeover reveal has been a long time coming. Trust me, I’m well aware of it. However, I am my own worst enemy. January has been a very slow blog month. If the blog was my partner, it would have packed its bags and left by […]
