Hi guys!
Lately I’ve been obsessed with coconut oil. I’ve been using it like a maniac lol and thought I could share with you all the possible ways that coconut oil could improve your life.
(I’ve used only 100% pure coconut oil with no added smells or ingredients)
Do you have any other uses for my coconut oil? I’d love to hear your ideas and tips.
See you soon x

Hi guys!
I decided to personalise my address book/planner as it looked kinda dull. I used wood glue (atlacol or mod podge will do just fine) and printed my favourite pictures from Alice in Wonderland. I glued the pictures on the cover and left to dry overnight.
Tips:
What do you think? It’s really easy and I love how my address book looks now!

Hi guys!
Today is all about making over a couple of old side tables I used to keep in my storage room. I knew I liked them and I intended to use them eventually, but something was holding me back. Possibly the fact that the side tables were painted in gold paint and looked… too gold maybe?
So I used marble contact paper to give a fresher look and tone down the gold. I created a stencil from regular paper (I used wrapping paper) and copied that “shape” on the contact paper. I cut to fit the surface of the table and stuck the contact paper on the top of the table.
Don’t they look cute? I really like these side tables (guessing they were made around the 50’s) and I’m glad I could finally make some use of them. I decorated them with modern objects to balance the look.
What do you think?

Hi guys!
Today I’m really excited to share with you another makeover project. This time we went for the big guns and remodelled a kitchen! I know, it doesn’t sound as exciting but trust me it was a huge project and the results are impressive.
Hi guys!
This weekend has been so much fun! I visited a really interesting exhibition regarding my fav decade: the glorious 80’s!!! The exhibition is called GREECE IN THE EIGHTIES and I can surely say that it’s the best one I’ve been in a long time. The music, the fashion, the gadgets OMG! Highlight: The fully decorated 80’s apartment that is amazing! If you lived through this decade the following photos will bring back so many memories – even if you cannot visit the exhibition.
Enjoy 🙂
See you soon x
