Day 28 - Some Interesting Storage Ideas

As part of my house revamp I'm trying to consider some interesting and clever storage ideas. We don't have room for anymore actual pieces of furniture but I'm sure there are better ways that we can utilise space for storage.

Here are some clever ideas I found on Pinterest which have got my brain in ticking mode!

Day 15 - Washi Tape Inspiration

I first stumbled across Washi tape a few months back when a project was featured in Mollie Makes magazine. It was of a table covered in Washi tape. I thought it looked just like coloured Scotch tape but it was pretty cool. 

Washi tape was created in Japan in 2006 when a group of artists approached a Japanese masking tape manufacturer and asked if they could produce some coloured masking tapes for artists. There were 20 varieties to begin with and they were such a success the company diversified. 

One day when i was shopping in Sainsburys I saw some Washi tape and thought I'd buy some for a future project, I then saw some roles reduced in another shop and bought those too. Now I have tape but no idea what to start taping first! 

Washi Tape 

A look on Pinterest showed me loads of projects from vases and tea lights to covering your keyboard or even your bicycle. In fact it seems that the sky is the limit when using Washi tape.

I think both the table and jewellery tree look fab not to mention the door!!!! Watch this space as I delve into the Washi tape unknown!!! I'm off to start looking around my home to see what I can Washi up!! 

Are you a Washi tape fan??? What have you made? 

Day 13 - SOS Pinterest Newbie

I'm quite new to Pinterest, I've only had an account for a month or two max and I first stumbled upon it last year when doing social media research for my dissertation. 

I'm starting to catch the bug, I firstly started to create public boards that were just a collection of other pins people had pinned or re-pinned. I collected ideas for new craft projects, for my garden and for the re-decorating of my bathroom, clothes and whatever else I saw, loved and needed to pin somewhere. 

Some of my boards on Pinterest 

Then I read the tip to pin images from your blog and insert your blog address to  direct traffic to your blog. Just as well I always try to ensure my photos are visually appealing, love a bit of instagramming!! So I've created a new board of blog photos and we will see what happens.

There are some lovely photos on Pinterest making it so hard to stop pinning once you start! It's a great place for gathering inspiration. But that is about as far as my Pinterest knowledge goes.

Do you have any Pinterest top tips for me???
