Looking for house/DIY type blogs

15 replies

I'm looking for some blogs to keep me amused during early morning feeds with ds2. I like things with house projects in like young house love and mum of all trades ( sorry can't link on phone) but not crafty stuff as I can't sew! Most of the ones I have found seem to be American, anyone know of any uk ones so if I see something I like I can actually go and buy it!

Spam me your blogs! Grin

Have you tried Lottie's Interiors? She's a mumsnet blogger but you could also google her to find her. Hope that you like what she has to say!

Yes like that a lot, thanks. Open to more suggestions!

I have only just started (and have taken a break recently as I've not been well) but my blog is www.cornerbycorner.co.uk
The idea is that it's a British take on doing up your home bit by bit, with not much money, and no architect / stylist. Lots of second-hand tat, and stuff from Ikea. Lots of books and toys to store. No 'artfully arranged single shelf with birdcage and bit of driftwood on it'.
I just LOVE Young House Love. Also love Apartment Therapy (although is also American).

Gus that sounds perfect, will check you out (so to speak) Grin

Check away! I need some impetus to write another post. Am getting better now so hoping to get back in the groove with the blog. Lots of plans for new corners to blog about, so little time to actually improve the house after I have spent so long mumsnetting tidying up after two little monsters.

Maybe post this question over in Property/DIY so more people will see it?

Good idea to post on DIY, thanks

If you haven't already, you need to check out Chez Larsson. It's a house/decorating blog by a very talented (and slightly obsessed with white) blogger in Sweden.

I am addicted to it.

Also, [http://manhattan-nest.com/ Manhattan Nest]] makes for an interesting read. Yes it's American, but it's not typically American. I don't share the guy's taste but he is a thrifting and DIYing expert, he is very good at finding junk and turning it into nice stuff for his flat, and he does everything on a budget. He is amusing too.

overmydeadbody · 12/04/2012 17:45

try again

Francagoestohollywood · 12/04/2012 17:51

Not exactly a blog, but highly addictive: remodelista.com/

CanCant · 12/04/2012 21:20

I utterly adore Chez Larsson OMDB.

What about this- Garrendenny Lane- it's Irish but a bit closer than US...
