I may be a career woman, a
working mom that is, but I am a homemaker at heart. And so cute knick
knacks that makes a home homier really draws me. But home-decorating can
be expensive as what we have learned when we moved to our rental unit in the
suburbs. And since we live under the down under, whatever is not made or grown
here are imported and thus quite a bit pricey. Well I think logical
reason dictates that importing goods into the bottom of the world has to have a
hefty price tag attached to it. Anyways, I digress. Now back to the
cute knick knacks for the home. *insert big smile*
Have you heard about Pinterest? Well, if not do check it out. I think it’s an awesome site with an extensive curation of all things DIY and more. A lot of businesses advertise there and it has also become a platform for people to showcase their crafty talents. With Pinterest, Etsy, Instragram and felt.co.nz (the web is not short of crafty DIY inspiration), I too was inspired to be able to transform one thing into something beautiful and useful.
And when the sweet hubby gifted
me this as a wedding anniversary present,
I squealed with joy! Yes that’s an
exaggeration, but really while some ladies would prefer diamonds and pearls (but I don’t mind receiving these either
*hint* *hint*), I was really happy with this gift because I can now find out
whether I do have the makings of a domestic diva. :)
And so these two sealed the
deal. I am now hopping on the DIY
bandwagon.
So far these have been the
projects made.
Throw pillows for the couch, to
lean on or rest your head while watching the telly (that’s TV for us!). And it’s amazing how these simply pulls
together a lively spring aura for the living room.
Cute matching curtains for our
tiny toilet window. This pretty curtains can make doing your “business” here
more relaxing.
With these small projects, the
homemaker in me is equally pleased. Casa de Martinez just got a little bit
livelier and homier. Just in time for
the spring season!
I really do hope I can come up
with some more.
How about you, any DIY projects
lately?
