Upcycling Pallets: DIY Headboard

Pinterest has been fueling me with DIY projects that I want to re-create for a long time now.

I felt our bedroom was in need of a statement piece of furniture and I've become so interested with up cycling pallets so I decided to make a headboard for our bedroom.

Joe, my amazing other half, could luckily get hold of some pallets and came home with 3, ready to start our project.

 All 3 together are about 6 foot long.

Joe did all the handy work and assembled them all together (I wasn't around when he did this, so no pictures - sorry!). He attached some legs to it to help support the weight, sanded it down and added a clear varnish.

Once it was finished and in the bedroom, he attached it to the wall and surprised me when I got home from work.

It was safe to say, I was definitely surprised because it looked HUGE! It took some getting used too but now I absolutely love it and the fact that it was free to make, makes me even happier! :D

Have you ever upcycled anything? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to see!

Hello!

Hello everyone! 
I've finally found the guts to start my own blog! But this isn't my first blog; I actually started a blog a while back and eventually fell out of love with the name which resulted in me not wanting to share anymore posts on that blog :'(. For what feels like forever, I've been trying to think of a new name; a name that sums up me and my personality but I just couldn't think of anything unique or that I loved enough :(. After all the thinking and brainstorming of ideas, it comes to my attention that I am THE MOST indecisive person ever. It even left me debating whether or not I should even bother blogging - again something I just couldn't make a decision about. People closest to me will know I find it difficult even deciding what to have for dinner most nights hence why I have settled (I think lol) on naming my blog 'Indecisive Emma'.

A little bit about me:

I'm 22 years old and work full time as a teaching assistant whilst studying for my degree. I live with my partner of 7 years and our two cats; they're adorable!

Pebbles & Bam-Bam

I am your 'typical' girly-girl - a self confessed shopaholic - who loves make-up, nail polish, perfumes and any beauty lotions and potions. As well as this, I love to craft and create and think there's nothing better than handmade, DIY gifts and treasures. 

Over the past couple of years, I have discovered YouTube and may have become slightly *cough - majorly - cough* obsessed with watching people like Zoella and Tanya Burr and learning how they apply their make up or how they up-keep a good skin care routine. 

Alongside this, I found Pinterest, which I am also obsessed with as it is the fuel to my creative fire and is constantly there to give me new ideas and inspirations for craft projects. 

Leading on from this, I felt like I wanted my own corner of the internet as a space to share my lifestyle tips and my craft projects and tutorials (plus much more..) as I love writing and sharing advice. I think the blogging community and blogosphere is an incredible place and would love to be a part of it! :)

I really hope you enjoy my blog! Please leave the link to your blog in the comments as I'd love to read them all!
