Last weekend we had a bit of a mini room makeover in Miss Frugal's bedroom which involved some furniture rearranging, some cheap IKEA furniture and a revamp of some of the things in there It looks really lovely and with a bit of creative thinking, she has a glamorous looking bedroom without the price tag you'd expect!It got me thinking about the different ways you can revamp the furniture in your house on a budget so I thought I'd share some of my ideas with you....1) We revamped our ugly old pine bedside cabinets for the cost of a can of spray paint and it was ridiculously easy to … [Read more...]
21 beautiful homemade Spring wreath ideas….
Last year I made a really pretty homemade rag wreath which I hung in my little hallway so people see it as soon as they come in to my house. You honestly wouldn't believe how many people have complimented me on it and asked where I got it from so they could get one too. ;-)I'm going to make another one to switch it out as I fancy a bit of a change but I wanted to make something a little bit different this time - maybe something with flowers to celebrate the return of the sunshine. The problem is that there's so many ideas on Pinterest that I would love to make that I can't decide … [Read more...]
Eleven ways to pack more storage into your home….
I love my house but there's no getting away from the fact that we have hardly any storage space which causes a problem when you have a family of four who seem to have a lot of 'stuff'.The house itself isn't tiny although it is on the small side - we bought a smaller house than we could have afforded at the time because we wanted to have money to spend on having fun with the kids. I know that's totally the opposite to what they say you should do but the difference in mortgage payments between this and the larger house we almost bought was quite a lot and we really wanted to just enjoy the … [Read more...]
How I upcycled my odd little table….
This is a DIY project from quite a while ago but I didn't really share it much at the time as I did cut a few corners and I wasn't sure how it would hold up over time. It's still going strong and it's one of my favourite pieces of furniture in the house so I thought the time had come to share the story of my odd little table.First of all, let's have a look at the table....I bought it last year from our local charity shop when I popped in to drop some things off after a de-clutter. I know, I know, you're not supposed to de-clutter and replace with more things straight away but I … [Read more...]
How to clean your house FAST….
I'm not a fan of housework in any form but I do like to live in a tidy house so over the years I've so many blog posts and watched so many YouTube videos with people sharing their 'How to clean your house fast' tips that I should be an expert.I've tried cleaning schedules, daily routines, and all manner of systems but the only thing that works for me is a weekly focus on just getting the job done. After trying everything, I've come to the conclusion that there aren't any real shortcuts or life hacks that are going to help me if I want a genuinely clean house and I'm not disciplined … [Read more...]
Stop spiders the natural way….
I know there's nothing to be scared of about spiders and I try to be brave for the sake of the kids as I don't want them to grow up scared of them but when I see one of the little eight legged creatures in the house, I can't rest until it's gone.Mr Frugal is great at rescuing them and freeing them in the garden, far far away from the door and I have an amazing next door neighbour who fills in for him when he's not here but I'll be honest, I'd rather not see them at all. This time of year is particularly challenging as they all seem to want to come inside and make their way to whichever … [Read more...]
