Funky Wallpapered Desk

Never make the mistake of thinking that teenage boys treat furniture with respect. By the time that my son had outgrown his desk it was chipped, scratched, ink-stained, missing half of the drawer knobs and sticky (and no, I don’t really want to speculate on the cause of the stickiness, thanks). I, on the other hand, was fed-up of sitting on the floor to do my make-up in the mornings so I jumped at the chance of repossessing said desk, which had been mine in the first place anyway, and converting it into a dressing table.

Let them eat cake!

My one and only attempt at cupcake decorating. It seemed like a great idea at the time as a cheap and easy alternative to a shop bought birthday gift. I was soooo wrong! They ended up costing more than a store bought present and took forever to get right. And because I had to make them upstairs in secret I managed to block the bathroom sink with buttercream and destroy the study. Those tiny hundreds and thousands really do get absolutely everywhere.......
