  • AD | Remember 2.5years ago I bought a book from a charity shop with some lovely drawings of plants in - and I said they would eventually go up onto the wall?! Well they’re up! 😂👏🏻 Alongside five different and new DIYs which I made for these frames! There’s a blog post up today, with a tutorial for each one - they’re pretty simple, inexpensive, you don’t need an Art GCSE and they can all be achieved in one weekend! 🙌🏻 The frames are from @eframeuk who challenged me to get creative with this project - their frames are all handcrafted, made to measure, with a huge selection available (including mounts) and all ordered online! Check out the blog post for more close up snaps and to see how all the DIYs are made! 😊 PS - yes, there’s no skirting on the wall, but did you really expect anything less 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ #halffinishedjobsforlife #DIYart #gallerywall #eframe #diyprints #diycrafts #crafting #diyblogger #diywall #victorianfireplace #bedroomrenovation #bedroomdesign #howto #diytutorial #diyideas #diyinspo #diyhome #createityourself #makeityourself #makersgonnamake #diyhomedecor #diyonabudget #easydiy #diyprojects #frames #featurewall

  • At 2.42pm this afternoon, there was half a cloud in the sky and within half a second I ran out and got a successful picture of the new windows without major light glare or major reflective windows. 🥳🥳🥳 There is a God after all. 🙇🏻‍♀️😅 So here’s a before and after shot of the house, one from today and one back in 2017, before I painted the lintels and front door. (Oh and FYI, I still hate the front door and do plan to replace it, but potentially in year 2024. Come back for full reveal then 😂) It’s certainly changed a bit since we bought it though and the new windows feel so much more authentic to the original style of this house! I plan to make some window boxes next and at some point, a cover for the wheelie bins. But it’s a definite improvement and I LOVE IT! Windows are from @colinssashwindows and purchased with a small discount for sharing our experience fitting them on the blog. #colinssashwindows #diywindows #sashwindows #upvcsashwindows #newwindows #frontofhouse #curbappeal #victorianterrace #victorianhouse #victorianrenovation #lovemyrenovation #diyrenovation #doityourself #diyblogger #renovationblog #howihome #whereilive #currenthomeview #houseexterior #periodproperty #periodhome #housemakeover #housetohome #myrenostory #mydiyreno

  • Teamwork makes the dream work 😂💁🏻‍♀️😬 Although don’t be too fooled, Grant and I have certainly had our moments of many many DIY disagreements over the years - especially in the beginning of our renovation journey when we both had very different ideas about safety, plan of action, and generally everything and anything. 😂😂 It gets easier though and now we kinda know what we’re half doing, it means we’re usually both on the same page... which helps a lot with actually getting shit done in a half timely fashion. 😂 But until reaching that point, it’s a somewhat miracle we’re still together. 🤣 Moving this window was indeed somewhat weighty, particularly when navigating the stairs. 🤪 But we did it, by the power of teamwork and not killing one another. 😅🙌🏻 And bollocks to the idea of this kind of thing being a job for only the strongest of men. Mindset and determination is at least quarter of the battle of strength, rather than your gender or actual muscle mass. #YesYouCan 💪🏻 Although don’t take this so literally that you put your back out people!! 🤣 You’ll be pleased to know the DIY sash window story series is now almost over. You’re probs sick of seeing our new windows by now 😂 but I’ve gotta do one more before and after! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 #sorrynotsorry #colinssashwindow #windowfitting #diyers #sashwindow #upvcsash #upvcsashwindow #diysashwindow #diyrenovation #lovemyrenovation #myrenostory #mydailyrenovation #coupleswhorenovatetogetherstaytogether #femalediyer #diylife #houserenovation #housetohome #homerenovation #victorianrenovation #victorianhome #renovators #renovationlife #doityourself #windowinstallation #newwindows #windowdesign #periodhomestyle #stronggirlsclub

  • I don’t think this corner of our garden has appeared on the grid yet this year, so figured it deserved a place. 😜 Such lovely weather today but I’m not sure what all this bank holiday talk is about... ain’t no bank holidays where we work. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ We got the window up the stairs today (hurrah!) but will have to wait until tomorrow for fitting now (boo!)... luckily the weather looks good for the next few days though, even if it means working before/after work. 🙈 Have to take what we can get now really, as this good weather won’t last forever!! I always have so many plans for the summer, but in reality, there’s never enough time. 😩 Why can’t you stay forever summer?! 😅🙏🏻🙏🏻 #instareality #gardenlove #cornerofmygarden #pocketofmyhome #diyfirepit #diypalletsofa #palletseating #palletfurniture #firepit #gardenideas #gardenlandscaping #gardenrenovation #diygarden #diyer #gardendiy #makeityourself #diytutorial #diyinspo #diyblog #gardenfurniture #gardencorner #palletgardendesign #palletproject #palletideas #ilovepalllets #palletcrazy #palletpalletpallet #palletsforlife #enoughwiththepallets

  • Another day, another window gone 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Last one people!! 🎉🎊🙌🏻😅 It’s gonna feel so good to finally have this job ticked off the list! 👊🏻 Especially since, let’s face it, these windows have been the only real home improvement we’ve done to our house this year. 😩😅🙈 For everyone who hoped we’d have a bird fly through the opening last time we went window-less for the night... maybe you’ll get your wish this time 😂🙈🤪 For our sake, I hope not though...
