There's nothing I like more than a tidy house, especially when I'm expecting visitors because no matter how much they might say that they're visiting me and not my house, I still like it to be looking it's best.The problem is that I have a husband, two (messy) teenagers and two dogs so it's not unusual to come home from work at the end of the day to find the house looking as though we've been burgled! ;-)I have plenty of ways that I keep on top of the housework including making sure that the kids have their own jobs to do on a daily and weekly basis and having a regular super fast … [Read more...]
How (not to) organise a photo wall or photo shelf….
We've had an amazing year for travel this year as a family and I really wanted to print out some of our photos to showcase some of our adventures. Jen suggested a photo shelf on the back wall of my kitchen would be nice so off I popped to IKEA to pick up a couple of them and some photo frames to use on the shelf.I love, love, love how it looks now but I'll be honest, it did take me a week and a couple of attempts to get it right!

Using milk paints to upcycle furniture….

Basically, milk paint is a non-toxic paint which contains no additives or distillates that can cause any harm to people, pets or the environment.

Could your kitchen do with a bit of a refresh? I've just given my kitchen a super quick, super cheap budget makeover and I'm so pleased with it!We've got a few things that we want doing around the house over the next few months and to be honest, the kitchen wasn't even on my makeover radar until lovely Mr Frugal got out the paint one Friday night a few weeks ago and painted it a lovely clean white for me. We haven't painted it since we moved in so it was in desperate need of a refresh and seeing it look all white and lovely makes me very happy!We do have bigger plans for the … [Read more...]

How to make a pretty teacup candle using tea lights….
Here's my cheat's version of a pretty teacup candle using tea lights and my favourite mug! Super easy, super cute and would make a great homemade gift!I love candles and in the past, I've thought about making my own so I could make something individual that would fit in with my home. The problem with making my own is that it involved buying the things I needed to make them and when I added the costs together with the time and effort involved then I figured I was better off sticking to buying the ones that I LOVE from Primark which smell amazing, last for ages and don't break the … [Read more...]
