Dulwich festival!

This weekend is the beginning of Dulwich festival and I can't wait to go! There are many events in the programme, from walks in the park to concerts and the beautiful "open house" where you have the chance to actually walk in the artist's atelier/house. It's very exciting and this year I am not going to miss it!
I just have to make a plan because there are so many things to do and see....I need to check it on the website:

Here's some pictures from the previous editions that I found on the Internet:

I would like to go and see Sally Nencini's works, they are lovely (this last picture, for example).

Goodnight, wherever you are reading this from :)

Recycled cans - let's organize the kitchen!

I don't know about you, but I am quite messy and tend to leave stuff all over the place :P
I was looking to find a way to keep the sink tidier from all the sponges and stuff and then I had an idea: I was keeping away tomato sauce cans because I thought I could re-use them somehow, but I still didn't know how.
Then I looked on the internet for some inspiration and I found something very interesting. Unfortunately I just gave a quick look to the website and when I went back I wasn't able to find it again. So, now I am going to show you what I made out of three tomato sauce cans (this has been done by heart).
I am also going to post a slow-motion video about it. My friend, who is a video editor, came over and we took hundreds of pictures that now need to be put together, edited and have a nice soundtrack added. It could take a while so, for now, I will just post some pictures.
Hope you like it!!

I don't know if you can see it from the pictures, but to hold the can on the hook, I just used one of those cheap black paper clips that you can find at the supermarket or at Ryman, something like this:

 

You should try and make one yourself, it's easy, cheap and nice!

Fruit crates

Here's a very good idea to get furniture almost for free.
We moved into our own new place recently and it didn't have much of a furniture. As we are saving money to our next big holiday, we thought we needed to use our creativity instead of just go to Ikea.
So, we went to Brixton market, grabbed a couple of fruit crates, painted them white, cover them with clear varnish and hung them on the wall. And there we have a new shelf for out bathroom!
I know, it doesn't really go with the colour of the wall, but as we can't paint the wall and we only had white paint....we'll leave it like this for now :)
