When we moved into the house originally we had grand plans of a walk in wardrobe in this attic space. Lights, rails, the lot.
💡
Life and financial struggle got in the way and the attic became a dumping ground. It was always on the list to do. Everytime I’d open the door and “store” something else in the attic I felt guilty.
🙈
With my husband now being at home he’s on hand to take on these tasks (with the kids). Over August and into September we tackled the pile which had been 20 years in the making. We pulled up some Kallax units that we had elsewhere in the house and then used the Ikea family card to get some more units on discount.
🛒
The youngest fella calls Ikea furniture ‘adult lego’ and he’s certainly not wrong. A lot of hard work and some leftover carpet from the stairs a few years ago later and we have a walk-in storage area of my dreams.
🥰
It’s not pristine because it’s my attic, like it’s not for hosting people in. It’s a functional space! At the end of the day we are very happy with it. Some of the units pull out so we can get at the storage behind and we can see what is in here.

Recipe: Vanilla Cake Traybake
Ingredients
• 150g Butter
• 150g Caster Sugar
• 3 Medium Free Range Eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150g Plain Flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
Method
Preheat your (fan) oven to 170 degrees Celcius. Line your baking tray with greaseproof baking paper.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, beating after each addition to make sure they are well combined. If the mixture starts to curdle, add a tablespoon of flour.
Pour in the vanilla extract, beat for a minute until it’s mixed into the batter. Finally, add the flour and baking powder, beat lightly until it becomes a pale, smooth mixture. Pour the cake mixture into the pre-lined baking tray, no need to smooth out the edges this will happen naturally during the baking process. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before icing and enjoying.
