RAGS // STRIPED NUMBER

Stripe Dress  //  GLASSONS : Denim Shirt  //  THRIFTED : Boots : VINTAGE GUESS

This is what happens when you have move house, the husband is not around, you do not know where you tripod is, your room is a mess but you are determined to do a RAGS post. You end up with  a  whole lot of camera face photos and you all get to see my messy house. Hmmmmm. But, this is the easiest outfit, who doesn’t love a comfy dress, top and bottom done all in one, hooray.  Thanks house of G.  Go have a gander online, they have a bangin’ new design website, yep. Lookin’ snappy ladies.

MAKE IT // Map Wall

As you have probably guessed by now, I am a sucker for a quick easy change to a wall. I get bored pretty easy, so I want to be able to change it whenever I want. This is just the thing.

After the DOT WALL DIY, I decided to change more in our new house. The loo is a relatively boring place, but because it tends to be a tiny room, you can go a little crazy with it. I bought this old map book from a thrift store a few years back, with this exact intention, to make a wall out of it, and finally the day came. Blutack in hand, I worked out a sequence to cover the wall and got my diy on. Easy peasy. New wall of knowledge.

Until next time.

This weekend is moving day. I don’t know how it came up so damn fast. But it is nearly here. I can’t decide if I am excited, or dreading it, more excited at this point I think. Excited for a new canvas. I spent yesterday packing and driving over some of the breakables to our new abode. Apparently we have a lot  of breakables. And as a treat, I let myself do a little decor in the afternoon. Yes, that is completely a treat for me. So, I transfered the dot wall from our old home, and put up a new light shade, this one is from IKEA. But the dot wall?, seriously, it is the easiest way to change up a rental, You can see my DIY over HERE. In the next few weeks I will be showing you other handy ideas to change up your rental. I am pretttttty pumped. Okay, back to the boxes.

Until next time.
