We have windows on every wall, so there isn’t a single open space long enough for our cabinet! The new plan: Declutter, join Netflix, and ditch our clunky DVD cases — opting instead to store them in this lovely little binder that tucks nicely under the television.

We finally got round to redesigning our kitchen after four long years. Now that the design has been finalised and sent off to the fitters I suddenly released that I don’t have any drawers!

How to make these awesome Star Wars pegboards

My husband belongs to a Star Wars costuming group called the 501st, and I’m working on a costume so I can join, too.
