If you’re looking to flex a little creative muscle in the direction of your home, why not take a shabby unloved old piece of furniture and give it a little TLC? We’ve taken our paintbrushes and staple guns and a bunch of second hand stuff, to prove that DIY can not only be as easy as pie... the results are very much worth the effort.

We've already featured the magnificent Michelle Fallon and her deck chair makeover - can you give us any other great examples of easy-peasy DIY?

I love the blue drawers on that little dressing table and the mis-matched door knobs are a great idea.
