15 DIY Shelf Ideas for Beginners My first diy Shelf cost me about $12 and one Saturday morning: a pine board from the hardware shop, two L-brackets, and a drill I had borrowed from my neighbour. It held my cookbooks for three years before I replaced it with something prettier, and it taught me that…
15 Upcycled Home Decor Ideas Worth Trying This Weekend The best upcycled home decor ideas start with things you were about to throw away. I furnished half of my hallway from a skip, a car boot sale, and my own recycling bin, and most visitors assume it cost far more than it did. Upcycling is…
15 DIY Headboard Ideas on a Budget A headboard is the single fastest way to make a bedroom feel finished, and a DIY headboard is the cheapest way to get one. I built mine for less than the cost of two pizzas, from timber I was honestly about to skip, and three years later it…
