Something we’ve always been short of in our house is a place to display pretty things. Decor always ends up sitting on the counter and just looking like a mess. In setting up the nursery I knew that we had to have some shelving space that was not only practical, but also pretty. This DIY…

Ribbon Bunting Cake Topper // DIY
Oh cake toppers, how I love you so, especially when you are made into ribbon bunting from my little scraps. This little cake topper was actually dreamt up as a simple prop, while shooting this wooden cake stand. It was just looking a little bare without any cake topper flair. If this can be made mid-shoot, it’s…
Easy Wooden Cake Stand // DIY
We’ve all had that time where you’ve got a beautiful cake (maybe one you’ve slaved over for hours), you expect it to look amazing on the table with the rest of the snacks at your party, but then it just looks, well, meh! It somehow gets lost amongst the rest of the food. Or is that…

Activity Ideas Jar DIY // Homeology
So often we get to a weekend or a bit of spare time and ask ourselves “What should we do?”. Of course, in those times we can never remember all the things that we’ve been saying that we should really do or places we should go. How frustrating! To help solve this problem, I’ve made…

Copper Photo Holders // DIY
I’ve had these cute little copper photo holders hanging around on my desk for ages and finally got around to taking their photos today. As I’ve said before, I am so terrible at printing out and putting up photos. Half the problem is that I don’t know where to put them and photo frames take…
Bedside Ladder Upcycle // DIY
There are a few things that we just haven’t got around to getting for our home. You all know I love a good DIY (being a DIY blogger and all), but sometimes it’s nice to start with an old item and do it up into a gorgeous home decor piece, rather than starting it from scratch. Last…
Cork Mousepad // DIY
Not all DIYs work out the way you had originally imagined them. As a DIY blogger you have to get used to changing your plan as you go and hoping that it turns out even BETTER than the plan. This is one of those. My computer mouse really doesn’t work all that well if I use it…
Hexagon Cement Coaster // DIY
Are you a coffee or tea addict? To be honest, I’m more of a hot chocolate fan. Or red cappuccino, that’s delicious too! Whatever your drink of choice, you want to protect your furniture from those nasty water stains. I always struggle to find coasters that I like (and can afford). So, as I tend…
Stationery Holder DIY // Tutorial
This has got to be the easiest DIY I’ve done. Sometimes there just isn’t time for fancy! My desk is almost ALWAYS a mess. Having a new studio desk was supposed to help me stay tidy. Instead, I just push everything out the way when it’s time to take photos. Whoops! Last week I spent…
