I'm really excited today sharing with you guys, through a guest-post at myLifebox, this amazing DIY clothing rack I made. When Anna-Rosa invited me to join her guest-post-series she was organizing, while she would be enjoying her little Euro-trip during October, I already designing and planing to make a clothing rack using raw wood and copper. It was just the right timing! I made it (it's a piece of cake...Believe me), photographed it and here it is online just for you.

Simplicity and imagination

First of December today and the best month of the year is finally here! Christmas is just around the corner and we will all start decorating our homes for the festive season, if you haven't already. Australian magazine Real Living shows simple and lovely DIY rooms' makeovers for a white minimal Christmas décor. You just need simplicity and imagination!

HommieDIY: 3-minute decoration idea

I had bought a handmade silk-screen poster from an artist in England and it was time to finally get its place into my house. It's one of these days that you definitely want to do what you have in mind and in my mind was to hang my Amy-Winehouse-poster on my wall. I had the poster, I had the empty space on the wall but I didn't have any frame in that size. On the other hand, I decided that I didn't want to frame it so I started thinking for an alternative and more contemporary way to hang it. And somehow out of the blue the hanger caught my eye!

This hanger is for trousers which means that it have clips and I could easily 'catch' the poster without leaving marks on the paper. Also, the hanger's hook gave me the chance to hang from a nail like any frame. So simple! My favourite Amy Winehouse's poster was decorated with a temporary modern way, easily, quickly and without spending a quid for an even cheap IKEA frame. I think I might leave it this way for a long time 'cause I really like it! I'm expecting feedback and also to try it and send me pictures!

Photo of the day

For all of us loving shabby chic style and vintage treasures here's a DIY reuse of an old window.

The window, old and faded, turns into a rustic cupboard. Just install selves and dividers to align with the window muntins. Add also a wooden back which can be painted in the same or different colour as the original window or can be covered with wallpaper!
