Get Crafty: Nursing Chair Make Over, Part One

I was lucky enough to inherit a glider nursing chair when Lena was born. It is remarkably comfortable and has seen us through many a night feed and evening-teething-soothing session.  To be honest, I'll be sad to see it go when the time comes. The gentle creak it makes as I rock with my baby has become almost reassuring.

The issue is that it's over a decade old and the cushion covers are showing signs of their age. When Lena was a few months old I clumsily made covers for the cushions but none of them fitted particularly well. Hence, why we find ourselves with a handy, yet mismatched and ugly chair in the middle of our bay window.

A Rainbow of Ikea Hacks

I am obsessed. There is nothing more I like than trawling Pinterest for ingenious Ikea hacks. Yes there are marvellous things to be done using a power tool. But look at what you can do with just a splash of colour.

Wall Sticker Love

I'm not brave enough for wallpaper

After years of renting the thought of wallpapering is very new to me. Now we have our own little nest to decorate it feels so permanent somehow. And with my fickle interior desires flitting from Modern Retro, Scandi Eclectic, Polka Dot Madness, Minimalist Startle Your Eyes with White and Country Cottage Everything Is From Laura Ashley, I have to admit, I am not brave enough to paper my walls. Which is why I am so grateful for wall stickers. They add a touch of flair without the need for a tressle table and paste, or a RIBBA frame from Ikea.
Below are a few of my favourites.
