Plantastic pots
Every month I buy your mag, I love it. I’m always looking for more ideas, inspiration for what I can do next. I like being busy, whether it is upcycling furniture, sewing and so on. I am a flower lover and thought I could make my pots more attractive. I hope you like them! Annetta Szczukocka, via email
Beth, creative designer, says: What beautiful pots you have now, Annetta! It’s fantastic that you’ve used so many different techniques and materials.
Pop of colour
I brightened up the downstairs toilet with a statement wallpaper from B&Q and picked out the orange for a few decorative photos and accessories. It’s gone from a dull dark and boring room with no natural daylight to a colourful and fun little space! Kerry Rhowbotham, via email
Tricia, creative design lead says: You’ve really given your bathroom some va-vavoom, Kerry! It shows how much difference even a small amount of pattern can make to a room.
Time for a drink
Just before moving house, I saw a cabinet for sale on Facebook Marketplace from a local antiques shop. I went to buy it after moving and, once the boxes were unpacked, I spent a few days working on it. After giving it a sand, I wallpapered the back then I painted it in a dark blue. I highlighted the glass trim in gold then, turned it into a cocktail cabinet. Tina Sykes, Brighouse
Rebecca, digital editor, says: I love that this cabinet was still waiting for you after you moved home, Tina – it must have been waiting for you to upcycle it!
