How To Makeover Your Kitchen Diner With Easy Decorative Changes
I’ve carried out this update over a LONG period of time, doing it section by section with big breaks in-between! So it’s probably been my longest ever makeover and it’s also taken me ages to get around to writing as I’ve been so busy working through my catch up list that I started in lockdown and am still working my way through! This blog post also holds the record for having more photos than any of my other posts. So get yourself over there to have a nose.
Open Plan Kitchen Diner Renovation – Before & After
If you’ve hung around on the blog for long enough, you’ll probably know that when we first bought our 1930’s house, we carried out major renovation works and ripped the place apart!

How to Make a DIY Copper Plant Stand
I know it’s been a while since my last post (sorry). Andy and I have been busy organising and hosting a Halloween/Fireworks party which has become a family tradition in recent years. I’ve also not escaped the dreaded cough/cold/lurgy that’s been doing the rounds so I’ve been ill with that too! Anyway, I’ve been planning to make this copper plant pot stand for a while and have finally got round to it, so head on over the the blog to see my DIY tutorial on how to create this on-trend accessory for your home.
DIY Outdoor Wall Art – Make Your Own Garden Picture
Let’s remember it’s still summer, despite the recent downpours (if you live in the UK!). I’m determined to embrace the sunny days so am continuing with my garden theme. If you read my recent post ‘My Instant Garden Bar Area’, you’ll have seen the cool wall art ‘Roll With It’ sign that I made to help style up the area. It was super cheap, quick, and easy to make. We all have pictures hanging inside the house, so why not outside! You can make this DIY outdoor wall art and add some decoration to your garden too.
