Don't worry if you don't have a Vase? Here's 8 ways to display your flowers without a Vase...Considering at least half of my weekly five frugal things posts used to start with a picture of some reduced flowers that I've bought through the week, it might surprise you to know that I don't actually own a single vase. I did used to have a few basic ones but honestly, they just took space up in the cupboard under my sink so I gave them away - one to a friend with a bunch of flowers arranged in it prettily and the others went to the charity shop. I've never missed them in any way … [Read more...]

Make your home look expensive on a budget…
Make your home look expensive on a budget with these easy tips!For the last few years, one of my New Year's resolutions has been to finish painting all of the walls in the house white and last year, I finally got around to doing the last wall so my goal now is to start replacing the last random pieces of furniture that I have with pieces that I love rather than things I just bought because it was all I could afford at the time. I don't necessarily want to buy new and more expensive pieces as I'm not in a hurry so I'm happy to just keep searching on sites like eBay and Facebook … [Read more...]

Super cheap bathroom makeover…
If you follow my Five Frugal Things posts each week then you've probably seen some of the things I did for my super cheap bathroom makeover a couple of weeks ago but I thought I'd bring them all together in one post today!So, first up, I wasn't planning on a post so I don't actually have any before pictures but it was very much a blah room - nothing really wrong with it but nothing really right either and it was looking very dated as it's the only room in the house that's never had any attention other than a new floor. It's been top of my list for a makeover for so long but … [Read more...]
