MAKE A STUNNER
Who says a chandelier has to twinkle with
lights? A suspended piece made from bendy
wire, garden edging or an upturned basket is
just as striking, even more so when trimmed
with flower-filled bottles. No sparky needed!

OPEN A CAN OF PAINT
Change the look of your bedroom by painting
a preloved chest of drawers. It’s hands-down
one of the quickest, high-impact jobs you can
do, with little-to-no skill required. Especially
when you use chalk paint – it’s so forgiving!
Nice idea to note: contrast light blue paint
with a restored timber top and handles.

REPURPOSE
YOUR CURIOS
Spare a sec to revisit that
collection you have hidden
away – could it become
a series of intriguing
caddies? Take your lead
from this idea where timber
clogs are screwed to the
wall above a work desk
(just the trick for art and
stationery supplies!).
PS, they’re not dust
collectors when they’re in
use – and so loved by you.
