I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatb I was very sick of cutting chicken or making meatballs and feeling gross so while I still do those things and still do feel gross, this little air dry clay flower hook actually helps 😅
It’s a bit wonky and I feel like I sent on way too thick with the resin but let’s go with its whimsical. It also gave me an excuse to buy a UV light so now I’m unstoppable.

So the bedroom-turned-kitchen is obviously that gi So the bedroom-turned-kitchen is obviously that girl in this house lately but everyone wanted to know what the kitchen-turned-bedroom looked like so here we go! 
It’s not very exciting in its current state because, ya know, we’ve been busy renovating an entire other room but the plans are so good it’s like I can already see it. What do you think? Which design direction should we go in?

Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitc Because I’m a regular human I went into our kitchen renovation trying to keep the costs down, but I’ve also done this four times now so I also know that there are some little upgrades that are totally worth it 🤌🏻

What’s the best kitchen upgrade you’ve made??

All the security screen haters (of which there are many, me included) will be happy to know I have a quote coming up to have them replaced but also in terms of money I have no money so we’ll see how that goes 😂

Anyway what’s your favourite part? I think mine is the cafe curtains?
