Create a Home You Love, One DIY at a Time

Feeling Overwhelmed by Blank Walls and Tight Budgets?

It’s easy to feel like creating a cozy, beautiful home is out of reach. Between endless to-do lists and limited time, where do you even start? If your house doesn’t feel like “home” yet, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone, either.

Simple Solutions, Big Transformations

From DIY projects that stretch your budget to organization tips that save your sanity, My Life From Home is here to help you create spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. I’ll show you how to make real progress with practical steps.


Hi, I’m Gillian!

Home is where the heart is—and for me, it’s all about creating a space where my two little ones and I can thrive here in Aberdeen, Scotland. As a single mum, I know what it’s like to juggle tight budgets, busy schedules, and a dream of making a house truly feel like home. Every penny (and every moment) matters, and I’ve learned how to stretch both without sacrificing style or comfort.

That’s why I'm here at My Life From Home—to share the ups and downs of my own journey and inspire others to create spaces that feel safe, cozy, and uniquely theirs. Whether it’s a DIY project that transforms a room or a small decorating trick that sparks joy, I believe that anyone can build a home they love, no matter their circumstances.

If I can do it, so can you. Let’s make magic happen—one project, one memory, and one step at a time.
