Simple yet fun DIY Easter project!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I love this time of the year don't you? The sun's shining, the spring flowers are out, the nights are longer....and there's chocolate everywhere. What could possibly be better?! Oh and there's that delicious Easter lunch to look forward to on Sunday too. In case you're in charge of laying the table for the big event - here's some perfectly Danish Easter egg painting inspiration from <a href="http://www.fermliving.dk/" target="_blank">Ferm Living</a> to enjoy.

Tuesday DIY: a fab walk-in wardrobe on a shoe-string

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In the first chapter of <a href="http://www.gretchenrubin.com/" target="_blank">The Happiness Project</a>, Gretchen Rubin talks about how de-cluttering and organising your home is the first step to feeling happier.
