My mission for about the last six months has been to find the perfect picture frame for a mini-project that I've had in mind but I've really struggled to find exactly what I wanted - until a couple of weeks ago at the Festival of Thrift in Darlington.I found exactly what I was looking for and for the bargain price of £10 which I was quite pleased with after my long search....I love it and it's perfect for what I have in mind but before I show you my plans for it, I wanted to show you a couple of other things you could do with it!1. Make a posh padded notice board.Follow … [Read more...]
How to create an Awesome homework space (on a budget)….
Post updated: 16/07/15I wrote this post last year originally but I wanted to share it again today for a few reasons.Firstly, we've made a homework space for Master Frugal too that I wanted to update my post to include that and secondly because after a year of secondary school with Miss Frugal, I wanted to reiterate just how important it is that children have a space to do their homework and this seemed like as good a place as any to do that!So, here we go - How to create an Awesome homework space (on a budget)....

Summer Living Room Makeover….
We've been having a bit of a Summer makeover this weekend, updating the Living room with a few little bits and bobs to brighten it up for Summer and I'm really pleased with the results so I thought you might like to see them.I like to keep the decor itself quite neutral usually which allows me to change things around without a big redecorating project and without spending a lot. This weekend's change about included a new TV cabinet in the Living room (courtesy of my Dad's own latest redecorating project), a new rug (courtesy of The Rug Retailer).The carpet in the Living room is the … [Read more...]
Thrifty Thursday – Make your own curtains (take two)….
I wouldn't usually re-publish a post but every now and again, I remember about a post I wrote that's hidden away in my archives craving a little bit of attention (aren't we all?). This post, for example, was originally published a year or so ago but I really wanted to share it with you again today as I've just made a second pair of curtains using the same method.I've been after a pair of thick cream curtains for my living room for a while now but I'm struggling to find a pair that I like enough to buy! It's not that I'm fussy though, I just have very specific requirements ;-)I want … [Read more...]
Girls bedroom makeover on a budget….
This morning I sat down in Miss Frugal's bedroom and realised just how much 'stuff' she had and how little space she had to store it all!So while Mr Frugal was snoring away in bed, I was on the iPad trying to find the answer to our problems!By the time he woke up, I was all sorted and ready to get on with it! I found some great shelves in Ikea but didn't fancy the hour's drive each way to get them so I ended up getting two cheap cube-style units from Argos to stick on top of each other next to her desk. We also bought some cheap but pretty white storage boxes from Morrisons for £1.50 … [Read more...]
Where I live – Indoors….
I love where my house but I've been thinking for a while that it's in need of a style makeover due to the builders love of magnolia and my lack of decorating since we moved in. So, when I read a post by Michelle from The American Resident about some of the treasures in her home I was pretty sure that I wouldn't have much to write about from my home.But then I saw lots of other bloggers joining in and posting about their homes. My inner nosey person was in her element and had such a good time looking at the posts and seeing what other peoples houses were like and I really wanted to join … [Read more...]
