I\u2019ve written <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/?s=DIY\">a few blog posts<\/a> on the matter already, and this one is no different. Today I\u2019m sharing five DIYs I\u2019d love to tackle this winter. Let\u2019s jump straight in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mid Century Plant Stand by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burkatron.com\/2017\/05\/diy-mid-century-plant-stand.html\">Burkatron<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A stylish mid-century inspired plant stand is just what everyone needs for their burgeoning house plant collection. This DIY does require the use of a jigsaw, but it\u2019s a very simple project otherwise and the finished item looks as though it were bought from Anthropologie. Get the tutorial from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burkatron.com\/2017\/05\/diy-mid-century-plant-stand.html\">the Burkatron blog right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standing Vanity Pegboard by <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fallfordiy.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/04\/diy-standing-vanity-pegboard-hidden-mirror-storage\/\">Fall For DIY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This standing dressing \u2018table\u2019 is a brilliantly smart small space solution. It uses a pegboard as the foundation, which allows for plenty of customisation. If you don\u2019t want to make your own pegboard you could buy one instead. It\u2019s the perfect place for keeping your daily lotions, potions and accessories.

An outdated or damaged piece of furniture can become fresh and modern with just a few coats of paint. And IKEA furniture, which is fantastic and affordable but generally seen <em>everywhere<\/em>, can become unique to you. There\u2019s no tutorial here as such, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/ideas\/easy-diy-personalise-with-paint-1364320291721\/?N=0+4294966688&amp;Nr=content.type%3Ai%3Aideas&amp;Ns=rank%7C0&amp;t=ideas&amp;filter=Do%20It%20Yourself\">this article<\/a> has some great images to inspire your next painting project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rope Trivet by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flaxandtwine.com\/2016\/04\/finger-knit-rope-trivet\/\">Flax and Twine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This textural trivet made from knitted rope is just the thing for any Scandi inspired kitchen. It\u2019s a quick and easy project, requiring a length of rope (or cord) and little else. I\u2019d like to make a stash of these to gift at Christmas. It would be fun to play around with different colours and types of cord too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flaxandtwine.com\/2016\/04\/finger-knit-rope-trivet\/\">Click here to read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foliage Filled Baubles by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burkatron.com\/2016\/12\/diy-scandinavian-christmas-decorations.html\">Burkatron<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And, finally&#8230; I couldn\u2019t resist including a little Christmas project in this round-up. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.burkatron.com\/2016\/12\/diy-scandinavian-christmas-decorations.html\">foliage filled baubles<\/a> are just delightful and so easy to make. I\u2019d worry about the foliage turning bad, so would make them on Christmas Eve to ensure they keep through the holiday. Alternatively, you could use faux foliage and then they\u2019d keep for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image source: Clair Strong Interior Design As you may have noticed by now, I love a good DIY project.
