Holding my life together with super glue once again 🫠

Ikea is great for affordable furniture options, but I always recommend doing what you can to personalise and elevating their pieces as much as you can.

Not only does it add more interest, but it makes it unique to you and much more custom than what everyone else is getting out of the box!

Read this before you try this diy! 👇

➡️ Use containers that you know are heat resistant. If you thrift it, make sure it’s metal or microwave/oven safe so you know it can handle the heat.

➡️ If your original candle isn’t in thick glass, don’t try the boiling water method. Instead, put it in the freezer and you should be able to prise the wax out with a butter knife.

➡️ Check your wick size matches your container size. The wick packaging should tell you what size container the wick will work for. You can get them at craft stores or online.

➡️ Melting the wax to reuse it will remove some of the scent. If you have a good quality candle, there should still be scent remaining, but if you want to add more, you can buy candle scent oils online.

➡️ After you pour your wax, it’s likely to have an uneven surface when it dries. You can fix this by heating up the top layer with a hair dryer or pouring another thin layer of wax on top after it’s cooled.

Let me know if you try this!

No joke, I’ve become completely obsessed with eco resin 😅

I got a kit from by and have made almost 10 different decor pieces so far. I know what I’m gonna be gifting to all my friends this year 😂 Thankfully they’ve all come out super cute, so I think everyone will love them!

I’ve experimented with painting and marbling the pieces, but I’ve heard you can embed things into eco resin as well. I’m thinking gemstones or seashells next. Which do you want to see?

My house blindness is leaving rooms unfinished 😫

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been holding out for the perfect rug or piece of art but then not been able to find something that’s just right. I then get tired of thinking about it any just ignore it. But I know that the room looks unbalanced if I think about it too much.

Ah well, can’t win ‘em all!

Because my closet and desk are super high touch areas, you best believe I did ALL the research before painting them.

As is the case with most diy things, the more prep you do, the better the result 🤷

If you have any questions about the process, just let me know!

More ideas here ⬇️

- Change door k***s and handles
- Add trays to surfaces that get cluttered to help contain the mess in a chic way
- Get a linen shower curtain (with a liner)
- Swap your flat pillow inserts for fuller ones
- More plants!
- Replace white bulbs with warmer ones

If you have any more ideas, please share them in the comments 🙌

We had books stuffed in every nook and cranny on our bookshelf, so I knew I had to figure out a way to store the overflow even though we had no more storage.

Pretty much every window sill and flat surface now has books on it in our house 😅 but it looks intentional, so I’m happy with it!

Any other suggestions on how to style books not on a shelf?

SO glad she was messing with me 😮‍💨 And also so glad that trusted me to help design her space! She’s on the same page as me when it comes to loving colour, so this was such a fun project.

It all looks insanely good! I wish you could see it in person because the video doesn’t do it justice. Yes, the green is really bold, but once the furniture and decor was in, it all tied together perfectly 🙌
