Oh my it’s been a very busy couple of months to the point that I’ve not had time to even blog about any of my latest upcycles and revamps! This month I have taken on two major projects; My hallway and spare room. My hallway has an archaeic dado rail but I don’t have the…
DIY / Upcycling: Sprucing Up The Garden With Plug Plants

DIY/ Upcycling: Chunk’s Marvel Wardrobe
Read moreYou may remember last year how I revamped some of Chunk’s chest of drawers Marvel style and I’ve finally gotten around to doing the same to his wardrobe!

DIY/ Upcycling: Sink Storage Unit

DIY / Upcycling: A Shoerack
Read moreThe saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” has yet again been proved by yours truly. I visited my mother the other day and as I rolled up the drive I noticed her neighbour had left out an old, wooden shoe rack with their rubbish.
