Yes, we’re STILL working on the gravel patio 😂

It’s been a while since I shared Part 1, mainly because a certain brick planter side quest took over, but we’re finally back to the actual patio!

This time it was all about levelling, prepping and discovering we had massively underestimated how much sub-base we’d need. Cue yet another trip to

Not exactly the glamorous part of a garden makeover, but we’re finally getting closer to the good bit so stay tuned.

I love discovering somewhere new and local to have a wander around on a Saturday morning 🥰

So many antiques, vintage finds and random treasures to rummage through… plus free coffee from , which made it even better ☕️

And despite going in “just for a look”, of course we came home with something 😂 I’ve already got an upcycle planned for it too so stay tuned.

AD Turns out some renter hacks are worth repeating.
These are 5 renter-friendly hacks I’d happily use again, from self adhesive floor tiles to painting a kitchen (with your landlord’s permission!).
I also remembered to check before ordering the supplies for my future projects. If I’m buying something, I always think it’s worth seeing if I can earn cashback on it too.

Can’t believe it’s been one year since we bought our 1970’s house. I had so many grand plans and I haven’t achieved as many as I’d hoped but decorating takes time. Swipe along to see some real before and afters and mock ups of how I’d like some of the spaces to look in the future. Love to know what you think?

My first attempt at bricklaying caused SO MUCH controversy, who knew it was such a divisive subject???This was my second attempt and the method that worked for me.
What do you think of this attempt

Anyone else in their gardening era? I do have a habit of killing plants so attempting to grow my own veg is a stretch, but so far enjoying my little starter box from .gang *ad pr product
Love all the packaging and artwork and even though I’m a few months behind as this was May’s box, it is addictive checking on your plants every day. Bought an outdoor veg planter to upcycle too so stay tuned for that!
What shall I grow next?
