Unless you live in the tropical north, winter starts to wear a bit thin about now. Imagine how good you’ll feel if you use the weeks ahead to Aug-anise indoor spaces before spring arrives! Our recent Instagram poll informed our storage feature (from page 14). Kids are adept at turning tidy rooms upside down, so this issue’s DIY projects give them the chance to curate favourite artworks and books into cool displays (hopefully sparking tidy habits). Also included are great ideas for the pantry and other problem spots. And we’ve designed a super-useful hub to collect all the random bits and bobs you can re-use or re-gift,

Tiny Tradies

As part of a bedroom makeover, DIY enthusiast Tamee Rene’ Brancati upcycled her bedside tables. First, she applied varnish stripper to remove the old stain and lacquer, then sanded and sprayed the raw pine with bleach to lighten the timber. The tables were painted with a satin varnish and marble drawer pulls added for the finishing touch. “I gave a new look and lease of life to my tables, which would have ended up in a council pick-up otherwise,” she says.
