Wooden Bench Makeover with Pinty Plus Chalk Paint

After admiring Clare's new chalk painted chair on her blog, Maybush Studio, I was thrilled when she contacted me to ask if I would like to be part of the Pinty Pluser Ambassador blogging team. This was an opportunity to use a recently released range of Pinty Plus Chalk Paint Spray (manufactured in Spain) from Novasol Spray UK on a couple projects around the home.

Since Pinty Plus Chalk Paint Spray can be applied to melamine, wood, plastic, glass, canvas, metal, cardboard and polystyrene, I quickly had a long list of items that I wanted to use the Chalk Paint Spray on. I decided to paint an unfurnished wooden bench that is currently sitting in our living room.

Messy Mat from Messy Me #Review

Our living room is the "heart" of the house. If the wooden floor could talk, it would probably tell you about how it is often covered with food crumbs, drops of paint, glue, and water. We were recently sent a Messy Mat from Messy Me, an English family-owned business. We loved the teal colour with stars. This oilcloth mat is 90 cms x 120 cms and is perfect for our daily use.

Disney Art Therapy Colouring Books - Parragon Books #Review

As a member of the Parragon Books "Book Buddies" Team we received the Disney Frozen Art Therapy Colouring Bookand Disney Princess Art Therapy Colouring Book this month. These books are filled with beautiful complex black and white designs that are truly magical. My four year old daughter enjoyed looking at all the designs and colouring in a few pages but these books are more suited to older children or adults.

The Home Life Project - April 2016

Joining Clare from Maybush Studio with her "Home Life Photography Project - April 2016".  This monthly photography project involves documenting your daily life for one day per month.

DATE: Sunday, March 27th, 2016

I must admit that I am still a little confused by the fact that Easter was in March this year. I always look forward to celebrating Easter in early April. I really love when we have cheerful seasonal decorations around the home so I am displaying some Easter decorations for a little bit longer this year. For this month, I was going to try to document the first weekend in April but it was a weekend filled with husband trying to recover from back pain and daughter fighting a tummy bug. There would have been lots of photos of sleeping children and a messy home.

I have decided to instead feature our Easter Sunday filled with lots of colour, fun and chocolate treats.
