I made my own decorative moulding and saved a small fortune in the process 🤙🏻

Bringing these original Edwardian doors back to life has been a labour of love, but I didn't want it to be an expensive one.

Using an architectural router bit and MDF, I've been able to create the moulding from scratch instead of buying ready-made. It's taken many learning curves, patience and time, but I've gained a new skill and saved myself about 70% of the cost.

Would you give it a try to save some 💰?

I made a bench for my mum! ~ Photo dump edition 📸

If you keep up with my stories, you'll have seen this wholeee process already, 'cause that's my favourite way to share what I'm up to (enter ✨Secret Bench Club✨)

But long story short, I started off with a pile of wood and made it into this bench 🪄 which is being beautifully modelled here by Sir Wee Bear 🐻

If you too want to transform a pile of wood into something nice to sit on, I've written a how-to blog which you can find via the link in my bio ✏️

P.S. Why does the bench actually look good in the back of the van? 😄 (Swipe to the end 👉🏻)

Photo dump of the project that almost broke me but I learned so, so much from, the Stag dressing table 🦌

And because of the learning curves, this is one of my all-time favourite projects.

Getting to that finish line knowing what I've achieved was the best feeling ever, and now I'm equipped with more knowledge for when I flip another piece like this.

What's been your most challenging project to date?
