From Thrift to Treasure: DIY Furniture Cleaner & Magical Spring Cottage Garden✨

Join me on a double adventure this week! First, I'm tackling a project close to my heart: restoring a stunning antique writing desk I thrifted last week! Watch as I whip up a DIY furniture cleaner (hint: it's eco-friendly and super effective!), and dive into the first steps of bringing this beauty back to life. But that's not all! We're also escaping to the breathtaking Altamont Gardens in Carlow, Ireland. Immerse yourself in the magic of their spring cottage garden display, bursting with snowdrops, hellebores, and flowing trees. It's a feast for the senses and a guaranteed mood-booster! ❄️
