Balance - we all use it in our homes to style tables, shelves and the like. But do you understand what the different types are, and do you know how to use them?

I'll explain it all in my post about the element of balance in home design.

Have you tried the baking soda paint trick yet? I finally did the other day, and I was amazed at how easy it was and how well it worked!

I transformed this small owl figurine to look like concrete, and I really do love the transformation.

I put together a mood board for a small bathroom a while back. I still love the design and the calm neutral feel of this room.

What do you think of this #moodboard ?

In honour of my friend Sara-Lynn's birthday tomorr

In honour of my friend Sara-Lynn's birthday tomorrow, I wanted to share some of her projects for #followfriday

She is expecting a baby girl, and these images are all from her newly completed nursery.

I love her use of colours and her DIY art ( the rainbow and that dreamcatcher😍).

Go over to @inspireddecorator and take a look at Sara-Lynn's other projects!

🌷🌷🌷 Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

I decided this year to give more gifts from the heart, and that means more handmade gifts this year. Rather than spending money, I'm giving loved ones my time and skill.

I tried my hand at watercolour painting yesterday and painted these tulips for my mom and mother-in-law. Tulips are my favourite flower, and I am really pleased with how these turned out!

What are your favourite DIY gifts? Let's talk about it.🌷🌷🌷

What do you do if you find a beautiful butterfly?

What do you do if you find a beautiful butterfly? We picked this guy up at our camping spot once when we were on holiday - he was already dead but beautiful and almost perfect.

It was just too good an opportunity to pass up - so we built a shadowbox and framed him. I still love this piece of art, as it is now a memory of a family holiday!

Since then, I've kept my eyes peeled for more butterflies to frame because they are so beautiful.
Would you frame a real butterfly, or do you think it is gross?

The tutorial is on the blog - search for butterfly.

5-Minute DIY pressed Eucalyptus wall art, yes, ple

5-Minute DIY pressed Eucalyptus wall art, yes, please! This little piece was so easy to make, and it looks gorgeous!

I saw a flower resin art piece the other day in a home decor store. Even though it was marked down, it was not pretty enough to take home. But it did give me this idea.

So I used a pressed Eucalyptus stem, an embroidery hoop, and two acetate sheets and put this adorable wall art together in under 5 minutes!

What do you think, yes, or no?

How about decorating a bookshelf with books? Now

How about decorating a bookshelf with books?

Nowadays, you will see a lot of gorgeous built-in shelves, without books. A lot of inspiration on how to decorate your shelves, but hardly any of them contain any books.

So how do you go about decorating a BOOKshelf (with books) and keep it looking uncluttered and beautiful? The answers you need are up on the blog!
