Indulge in Do It Yourself

Give your library a new look
Now that you have read or reread all the books in your library, we suggest you bring a wind of change to this space that is too often neglected. To do this, nothing could be simpler, just store the books upside down, spine hidden and pages revealed. Enough to give rise to a nice gradient from yellow to immaculate.
Create a fitness space at home
Rather than paying for a subscription to the gym where you won’t go until January – and again… we’re together, no judgment – you might as well stay at home, right? To practice a sporting activity at home, you can make a little space and set up a nice fitness area at home.
Design a mood board
To feel good about your home and plan your year like your projects, why not take the plunge and create this mood board that really appeals to you? Solo, as a couple, with your roommate or with your family, gather the photos, postcards and quotes that cheer you up or inspire you before attaching them to the wall with Masking Tape, stylish collage style. Here are the instructions and ideas!
Resume what needs to be reworked
Holey T-shirt, shirt missing a button, jeans three times too long… If, like us, you are the type to put off these small everyday repairs until tomorrow, take advantage of the time offered by a slow lifestyle to make a stitch or hem, sew on a button…
