This old wardrobe was left in the house by the home owners. As most of all our money went on decorating our home, updating and completely transforming our bathroom, getting the walls re-plastered there was little money left for the furniture. We kept the wardrobe as it was for a while as we hoped we… Read More
You have probably seen my bedroom makeover post, in which I promised I would share with you how I re-upholstered the pink velvet armchair, so here goes. I was putting this chair project off for ages, until it was the last project on my to-do list. I was dreading it and for a good reason… Read More
You know how much I love painting and upcycling old furniture. Paint can transform an old piece and turn it into something new and beautiful again. Sometimes there are pieces that can be quite tricky to paint, like chairs with endless spindles or wicker furniture and baskets. Sometimes you simply want to get a smooth… Read More
As you know I love to re-use and upcycle most things. It will not come as no surprise that this chest of drawers was getting it’s second makeover in the space of 4 years! We got this chest of drawers for free as it came from an old hospital and basically would have gone straight… Read More
You may be thinking, that you have seen this chair makeover before and you won’t be wrong! This is the second time I will be upholstering it for our house. I did this chair around 3 years ago and used a shabby chic fabric (cringe at the photos!). The times (and decor in the house)… Read More

Our bedroom makeover is slowly taking shape and being transformed from old and outdated to dark and modern space! We had some furniture left from the old owners and even though it was sturdy and still in good shape, it took up too much space. The old dressing table took up most of the wall space… Read More
When we decided on updating our bedroom, I didn’t quite expect to go all out for it and change pretty much everything.. We have been in our house for almost two years and had neglected our bedroom, the place that should be our haven! One thing lead to another and we are now completely transforming… Read More
Our bedroom makeover is slowly taking shape and I am happy to report that the headboard is finally done. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen my stories as I was making it! I had no idea what I was doing as it was my first ever diamond tufted upholstered headboard. It… Read More
I am part of a DecoArt Bloggers outreach programme and as you know I am always excited to try out new products and paints. I am a huge fan of chalk and milk paint, but I have always said there is no one paint that fits all projects. For this particular makeover, I knew I… Read More
Today’s post almost didn’t happen.. Why? As with most of my more ambitious, “jumping in the deep end” and “no idea what I am doing” projects, I am never entirely sure whether my vision will come to life or my project will turn into a disaster.. Thankfully, this time it sort of worked!! After weeks… Read More

I know it has been a while, but due to some issues with home renovations (bathroom!!) and my order mix up I haven’t been… Read More
I joined a group of some like-minded bloggers who are taking part in a monthly DIY challenge. This month’s challenge was to find an item in a local thrift store/charity shop and give it a makeover. As you know I love upcycling (and visiting thrift stores) so this month’s challenge was right up my street!
I found this little table abandoned in the local amenity site. It looked like someone had attempted to upcycle it but gave up in the end. It looked so pretty and I thought it would look perfect in our spare bedroom. It just needed a little makeover. I cleaned the table thoroughly using some sugar… Read More
