So I have this little ramshackled lean-to in my house, and I am slowly trying to turn it into what I can only describe as my interpretation of a Mexican beach bar, and when it’s a nice evening and i’m stuck home with the kids, I like to sit out there and with a glass of wine, and pretend that I’m somewhere a bit more exotic than Leicester.

I’ll be showing you some more makes for my beach bar as and when I do them, but for now we can start with this one.

I was looking at the stack of plastic easter eggs I had left from Easter, and thought about all the bright bits a bobs I had laying around, and hey presto beaded curtains!!
