AS GOOD AS NEW

Hello my name is Ellie and a million thank yous for stumbling across my little corner of the internet. Whether you are looking for creative inspiration or are just a ‘Before and After’ picture enthusiast, I hope you find something to spark your imagination and get your creative juices flowing.

I hope you enjoy and if you want to know a little more about me, please visit my ‘About’ page.

  • BOREDOM BUSTERS
    The inspiration for this DIY came as a way to ease the boredom of lockdown 3.0. After almost a year of lockdowns, it is difficult to find alternative things to do, especially ones which don’t revolve around a screen to fill the long days and evenings stuck at home. I’m hoping this DIY could be one you recreate if you are in a couple or to help give you some different things to do if you too are stuck at home.
  • AN UGLY BOOKCASE
    In dire need of some love and attention, I found this gem of a bookcase when clearing outmy Grandparents’ garage recently. Being one of my first upcycled pieces of furniture, I felt a little intimidated to be completely honest with you. With the state it was in, a lack of experience and the huge sentimental value, I felt a lot of pressure to do it justice. I’m so pleased I persevered as it has turned into a real gem.
