Creating a cozy, functional space for my two little ones and inspiring others to do the same—without breaking the bank.

Turning My House Into a Home, One DIY at a Time

My Life From Home is all about the journey of transforming houses into homes—whether through a weekend DIY project, clever storage ideas, or affordable décor inspiration. Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, I share tips, tricks, and heartfelt stories from my own experiences as a single mum of two, working to make a warm, inviting space for my family.

This blog isn’t just about interiors—it’s about embracing the messy, wonderful process of creating a home that feels truly yours.


A Home That Works for You (and Your Budget)

It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.


Hi, I’m Gillian!

DIY Dreamer, Home Maker, and Blog Builder Extraordinaire

With two little ones keeping me on my toes, I know firsthand how challenging (and rewarding) it can be to build a home from scratch. Whether it’s finding budget-friendly solutions, tackling DIYs during nap time, or finding the perfect décor that works for family life, I’ve learned how to get creative and make the most of what I have.

Since 2017, I’ve also been behind the scenes helping DIY content creators bring their ideas to life online, building blogs that showcase their creativity and connect with their audience. Now, I’m channeling that same passion and experience into sharing my own story, creating a space where I can inspire others to turn houses into homes.

My Life From Home is where I share what I’ve learned—and I hope it inspires you to create a home that tells your story, too.

Forget picture-perfect. Let’s focus on creating spaces that feel lived-in and loved.


Progress Over Perfection

I believe even the tiniest updates can make a room feel fresh, functional, and inviting.


Small Changes, Big Impact

Your home should reflect your personality, your needs, and your lifestyle—not what a magazine says it should look like.
