I really wanted a headboard for our little…
Styled Hall Bench
The last few weeks Glen has been off work. Money is tight when he’s working full time, but him being off for three weeks has been quite stressful.

Favourite Chemical Free Products
I was so inspired by a friend who wrote about the “Top 10 ways to use Essential Oils in Summer”, that I thought I would do something similar.

Turn New Furniture Into Farmhouse Distressed Furniture
I’m so excited to be writing this blog. I’ve wanted to paint these ugly red mahogany laminate crap bar stools since I got them last year.

Painted White Decor
I know I said I wasn’t going to pop on before Christmas, but I’ve needed an outlet this week to get out my frustration.

Plus things keep going wrong. My daughter dunked…
