| DIY | A Thrifty Weekend Post!

As mentioned on my Instagram (if you don't follow me already, it's Eves & Moon), I mentioned that this frame and prints were all completely free! There was nothing to it, and here's how you can do it too.

First off, if you weren't aware, if you sign up to IKEA Family (a free membership) then you are given the option to choose a free gift. *Note* I'm not sure if the options I had are always the same, or if they change them up, so apologies if the frame is no longer there.

Once I got the frame home, I literally just went onto Google Images and searched for the pictures that I liked and printed them off! You may have to search around for a while for images that don't have a watermark or are distorted when you print them off, but this shouldn't take too long.

A website that I recommend which did plenty of clear and beautiful images is Design Love Fest. If you head to the "Dress your Tech" section, you can scroll through different pages of designs to download. The images are all clear because they are created for use as computer wallpapers.

Print off what you want, cut to size, and pop in the frames- simple!

| DIY | DIY Rustic Shelf

We've always needed more storage space in the kitchen. We have around 4 cupboards which we use for our appliances, cups/glasses/plates/bowls, tinned food and cereals, and a cupboard designated for general items we have no where to keep such as vases, tins of paint, dusters etc. We had a largish amount of blank wall that I knew I wanted to do something with, but other things in the flat always took precedence. Thanks to Instagram and Pinterest, I noticed that a lot of people were making shelves out of old bits of wood or scaffolding boards. Purely by chance a while ago, my other half was given 2 scaffolding boards by someone who had no use for them. Finally during some much needed annual leave, I pestered my Dad to help me with my project! I couldn't decide what brackets I wanted. I didn't want modern style brackets as that isn't really the "vibe" I go for. I was torn between antique-style cast iron brackets from Amazon , or some white distresse...

| HOME | A Look Inside AmysAnnexe's Home

My friend has recently moved into her own place, so I decided to pop over and pick her brain about all things homes and interiors! Hi, I’m Amy (amysannexe on Instagram) and I’ve lived in my home for 3 months. I’m surrounded by fields and rolling countryside which I love as it’s very relaxing…the only downside is the creepy crawlies that decide to take up residence inside! I’ve got a lovely little garden where I can grow vegetables and lots of flowers. It’s so quiet and tranquil around where I live. Describe your interior style: I would describe my interior as country style with modern touches. I like to add grey and copper accessorises with neutral-coloured furniture. My style has changed over the last few years as I used to have quite a girlie interior with pastel pinks and duck egg blue. My style has definitely matured as I’ve got older. Where do you take your inspiration from? A lot of it comes from Instagram and Pinterest. My f...

| DIY | Homemade Bedside Lights

The new room is coming together really well. Everything I had envisioned for it has turned out exactly right! One thing that I’m most happy with is our brand new shelf/bedside lighting. This was all done for well under £100. I was lucky enough to already have the wooden scaffolding board for my old kitchen shelf. My dad helped me to distress it as it was a brand new piece of wood. Click here to read about that process. In the new room, our bed is pushed up against the chimney breast which obviously juts out a bit compared to the rest of the wall on that side. When considering the space we had I realised that a bedside table either side of the bed just wouldn’t work. This then raised the question…where do we put bedside lamps? I’ve seen a few pictures floating around the internet showing large filament Edison bulbs hanging from either the ceiling or the wall either side of a bed. I loved the look as I’m a big fan of Industrial-looking interiors. This seemed like a l...
