If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that one of the biggest myths I try to dispel is that you need shed loads of cash to have a beautiful home. Even if you have a limited budget (and isn’t that most of us?), with a little creativity and letting go of the fear of a bit of DIY, you can create a gorgeous home.

In my first video, I’m sharing how I combat the long winters here in Manchester that wreak havoc on my houseplants by supplementing my little urban jungle with really inexpensive faux plants.
