One of my absolute favourite things to buy is home stuff – decor, kitchen items, furniture – all of it. 

I was definitely having a heyday stocking up on items before I moved out of my mom’s house and into my own place. Obviously there’s a few things you can’t really DIY, for example, an ice cream scoop, a pizza cutter – you get the picture.

When it comes to decor though, that’s when you can put it into your own hands.

But let’s be real – home decor items can be mighty expensive. And when you’re a broke student like me, that’s not where my money should be going (although it’s where I want it to go).

I’ve been teaching myself to be a little craftier, first starting off with some home organization hacks. But now it’s time to take the trip to Home Depot and break out the tools and glue gun.
