Re-defining Rubbish

At DIY Homefit we do like the slogan on The Co-operative Food range of reusable shopping bags – “Carrier bags are rubbish”. The bags are available in a number of sizes and designs but all in a striking turquoise colour and bearing the slogan. Since the introduction of the compulsory charge for plastic carrier bags in October, all large stores are now offering customers a range of alternative longer-lasting bags to purchase.

Another Christmas Another Show!

You know when you can’t get a song out of your head?!  Well that old Cole Porter song “Another Opening Another Show” is in ours at the moment. The lyrics are all about preparing for opening night and in a way they remind us of preparing for Christmas. Every year, despite our best intentions to keep things simple, most of us get swept up in the Christmas frenzy!

DIY Homefit – Where the Fitting is Easy!

As the nights are drawing in our thoughts turn to lighting our homes accordingly. But have you tried to buy a light bulb recently?  It used to be easy but the specifications have changed so much over the past few years that many of us now feel confused.  It can be hard to get to grips with what all the abbreviations mean and how the wattage of the newer bulbs – especially the energy saving ones – relates to the old ones.

Getting Creative: The “Queen of Beads” kitchen

Here at DIY Homefit, we are always on the lookout for creative bespoke kitchen and bedroom ideas. Today our travels take us the other side of the Atlantic, New York to be specific, where we have found an impressive kitchen design made almost entirely of beads!

Seasons Greetings!

No, we haven’t totally lost the plot at DIY Homefit! We do know it’s only October. But that does mean that if you want to do a bedroom makeover or kitchen refurbishment in time for Christmas then now is the time to get things moving!

Creating a Retro Kitchen

Queen Elizabeth II has become Britain’s longest reigning monarch, surpassing Queen Victoria’s reign of 63 years and 216 days. In 1953, millions of people watched her coronation on television and there were also hundreds of street parties all around the country. So much has changed since then, but it is an era that many people cherish and, as part of this, there is a growing trend for retro style kitchens.

Lunches they will Love!

Rod Stewart sums it up in the immortalised lyrics of Maggie May “It’s late September and I really should be back at school”. Nothing symbolises September more than the great big Back To School event!

In the Pink

At DIY Homefit we received an email from Pinterest the other day entitled Think Pink. It declared that “Everything’s coming up roses… and coral, fuchsia and magenta shades” and included some example pins about how to add a delicate touch or a bright, bold statement to your home.

It got us thinking about which of our replacement wardrobe doors might work with the pink theme, and we were pleasantly surprised with the results!
