Hello there –I’m your penny-pinching DIY enthusiast, ready to bring new life into your homes

Know my story

Hello, Roxanne Taylor here! I’m your DIY-obsessed home decor companion! I think that every house needs a little makeover and some love to make it feel like a home. After all, your space should match your vibe and make you feel amazing, right?


The world of DIY has always held a special charm to me, where every moment can turn into a eureka moment. Flipping through magazines, scrolling through Pinterest boards, and rummaging around charity shops — all to find that one piece to change the feel of a home. There’s just something magical about turning the old into something new. Plus, it’s a bloody sight cheaper than therapy – believe me!

My love affair with DIY and home decor started when I got my first flat. I had my place now, but not much to kit it out with. So, I started snooping around in charity stores and second-hand shops to find something I can use.


What started as a hunt for necessity quickly turned into a love for breathing new life into the old.  I didn’t exactly know what kind of style I wanted to go for, nor was I aware of the types that exist. It took me years of experimenting and mucking about – and yes, even a few mess-ups – to find my style and discover what I liked. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine. 

So, if you are ready to start your own DIY journey, come along and join me! Look around, fall in love with the process, and most importantly, don’t be afraid to mess up (you can always blame the cat, anyway).
