At different stages of my life, I have enjoyed sewing, painting, cooking and more recently gardening.
Another area, is looking after and creating a home. In some regards its easier when you own your own home -as you do have a little more freedom to knock things about and adjust them to your liking, but this also means you have to learn and acquire new skills. (If you rent -it's the land-lords problem :)
Painting is a good one to use as an example! It seems simple but there are still things you need to know in order to get reasonable results. Sanding down, establishing if a primer is needed, knowing the properties of the paint you're using - as it may require different setting times or painting technique's. The importance of using tape for edges and especially the art of 'cutting in'. It is worth all the effort & quite incredible how a room can transform in atmosphere, and appear bigger or smaller -just because a different colour has been applied.
Anyway, I digress... my project for today is transforming my nappy change-table into a chef trolley!
I just have never really formed a habit of using it to change the baby. It sits in the nursery and gathers stuff!

Chef trolley's are dear. Alot of modern ones are metal. They can be appealing but I like that the change-table cum trolley will be in wood. I do feel tempted to paint it white, ( my Husband would laugh, he thinks I want to paint everything white...mmm). I will play around with ideas a bit. The top needs a wood or stone chopping board & I cant decide whether to add that cute french frill curtain or charming country baskets. Either way, it's fun to get creative! Below is a little inspiration;

I will be post picture's of the transformation, but they're subject to change :) I'm female it comes with the territory.

| It does need a lots more re-arranging- but you get the idea. |
