Hi everyone! As I mentioned to you before not one but TWO projects were featured in the August Edition of the Reloved Magazine. The issue is now available in stores (and online) and I got my hands on a copy! I am so excited and happy to be featured in this fabulous magazine!
I LOVE hand painted furniture. Anyone who can do hand painting on the furniture is a total genius in my book. I think hand painted furniture is also so unique as no two pieces would be the same.
I am not so brave to try it out myself, but it doesn’t stop me from looking at the projects that other people have done and hopefully soon I will at least attempt it! Here are my favourite hand painted furniture. Continue reading
I love these beautiful peg frames as you can customise them as you wish and they are so simple to make.
I used an old photo frame as I loved the golden frame. I removed the glass and glued a piece of fabric on top.
Once it was dry I simply glued the twine using some hot glue gun and did the same with the little pegs.
And this beauty was created! Continue reading
I have always loved to craft and make things but as always life gets in the way and unfortunately I left my passion in the background until I actually didn’t do any crafts at all. Until a few years ago, when I came across Pinterest and all the amazing projects that led me to this – running my own blog!
I started with small steps, attempting some projects I had seen online and recreating them, taking photos from start to finish, I would only share them with my family who encouraged me to do share them with everyone.. Continue reading
I was so happy when I got asked to create some special centerpieces for this beautiful bride. She was the easiest bride to work with as I was pretty much left to do what I wanted. I got told the bottles should be peach and cream and also the bride wanted them personalised with special details..
Thankfully we have a big wine lover in the family, so I didn’t have to suddenly drink 14 bottles of wine.. Continue reading
I found these glass containers and they were still in a good shape, there was slight chipping on one of them and the gold lines were all scratched from the top. I decided to spruce them up a bit using some gold spray paint. Everything looks so much better when it is gold, don’t you think? Continue reading
Do you love to upcycle and relove things? As you know I do.. so I am extremely happy and proud to tell you that two of my projects will be featured in the August’s edition of the Reloved magazine, which will be out on 9th July!!!!
This month’s edition is out already available.
My little sister Sintija [Cynthia] always loved to dance, she joined the Riga Choreography School in Latvia when she was a young girl and was our little balerina!
I remember going to concerts at her school and feeling so proud of her. Continue reading
As you know I love to upcycle and transform an old piece into something new. I absolutely love when a forgotten piece is made into something beautiful again.
I have compiled this list of fantastic transformations, which are so gorgeous I simply had to share them with you.
I have done several pieces and my absolute favourite is the lace painting technique, so far I have done two pieces using this technique. Head over to see the transformation and tutorial on how I did this here. Continue reading

There are so many headboards available you will be spoilt for choice. At the moment we are saving for a house, so I didn’t really want to splash out on something that we will most likely change once we move out. So I decided to upcycle an old headboard I came across a few months ago. Continue reading
