Having recently downsized considerably, we’ve realised that we have more possessions, DIY supplies and general “stuff” than we thought. In order to store everything in our new apartment, we’ve been looking at creative ways to create more space in our home. We could still use more space and more storage but over the years we've learned a few tricks that have helped us keep our home mostly clutter-free. We’ve also started planning a few exciting projects, including the best IKEA Pax hack that ... Read the Post
How To Restore Wooden Windows
Last year didn’t quite turn out as we expected but one of the projects we did manage to start working on is restoring our period wood windows. It’s an absolutely epic task with a whopping 68 windows to strip, sand, repair and repaint. It honestly wasn’t a job I’d been looking forward to, especially as I calculated it would take me about 1.5 days of work per window. And, if you do the maths - that’s a solid 102 days of window restoration! If you have wooden windows in your ... Read the Post

It honestly blows my mind at how quickly time passes and it feels like yesterday that we were living in Manchester, going about our normal day to day DIY lives and dodging the notorious Manchester weather. If you’d told me that we’d be living in an amazing apartment in the centre of Berlin just a couple of years later, I would have thought you were bonkers. There’s no denying that the last few years have ... Read the Post
DIY Geometric Serving Tray
We love large scale full-on building projects like knocking down walls and building roofs but it’s great to work on more creative projects every now and then, too. Last week we shared our new DIY console table with a gorgeous concrete top which we absolutely loved and now we’re sharing another fun and super quick project - our new modern geometric DIY serving tray. I’d seen something similar a while ago when browsing Pinterest and, being stingy as usual, I figured instead of paying a small ... Read the Post
Easy DIY Vittsjö Hack with Concrete Top
Finding furniture can sometimes be so difficult, right? It’s either not the right colour, the right size or the right shape and don’t even get me started on how expensive furniture can sometimes be. Luckily, we’ve learned that it’s not only possible to do most of your home improvements yourself but it’s also possible to build your own furniture! We built the DIY ladder shelves in our bathroom, constructed the bench in our dining room and even built our round bar cart ourselves. Our newest ... Read the Post
