Neat Storage...

I absolutely love this storage idea created by Benita at beautiful Chez Larsson blog...

Both a functional and stylish feature... which would look great in any open wardrobe or storage system...

Benita simply took 4 screw in castors and attached them to her chunky wicker basket...

I will definitely be trying this idea out for myself...

Neat Notes...

Notice Board
- Handmade, daffodils & snowdrops

I love this useful notice board my lovely husband Namık made me...

To make the notice board... 

he first took a hard wood frame and covered it with foam... he then covered it in a green striped fabric to match the green highlights in my kitchen...

To create the lattice work, he attached strips of cotton tape... finishing each cross point of the lattice with a cute covered button...

Lastly he added a couple of decorative ceramic buttons and an old vintage key...

Simple and effective to make... 

Cover with your favourite fabric to give it your own personal touch...



Re-use, Re-cycle & Re-invent...

Restored draws - daffodils & snowdrops

Re-invent an old set of draws with a fresh lick of paint and vintage style accessories...

My husband found this unwanted set of draws on the side of the road and brought them home so that we could give them a new lease of life..

First we painted the draws antique white... 

then sanded down the edges to give a shabby chic style...

We decided to keep the top natural by sanding it down and rubbing it over with some Danish Oil...

Red Decorative Knobs - Anthropologie

Pink Spotted Knobs - John Lewis

To finish we added some stylish knobs... 

I miss-matched mine to give a quirky vintage look...

So... be thrifty and have a go at recycling your old and unwanted household items... 

by turning them into new and desirable pieces for your home...
