Buy or DIY – Basket Projects

Buy or DIY?  Sometimes you can’t find what you’re looking for or your budget doesn’t allow you to buy what you want so you DIY it.  Sometimes you don’t have the time, skills or patience to make it, so you just buy what you need.  There’s no right or wrong answer.  We do both.  If your looking for basket projects we’ve got both the Buy and DIY covered.

I'm Kylie, and I love to share practical home decorating and styling tips. I'm a qualified interior designer and self taught crafter and DIY'er. I'm addicted to decorating, and can't walk past a homewares shop without going in for a look. I live in a 1930's Queenslander in Brisbane's inner suburbs which I'm turning into a home one project at a time.
