Domestic Sluttery might be my new favourite blog! The tagline is ‘a home and lifestyle blog for women with better things to do’ and it is written by ‘women who cook, decorate and design (usually with a glass of wine close to hand) without giving up our lives.’

I found it because I often come across posts by Domestic Sluttery’s editor Sian Meades on WalletPop UK, so I started following her on Twitter and she tweeted about Domestic Sluttery, and now I’m absolutely HOOKED.

The posts are so fun and I want to buy, cook or drink pretty much everything they recommend (not ideal when you’re watching your budget, true, but you can still look!)

It is hard to pick out just a few favourite posts for this one, but I’ll do my best:

When I grow up…

Design Porn: Single flower arrangements

Shop in the spotlight: Mums who bake

Sluttishly easy: Honeycomb

Cupboard lust: The giant cupcake tin

Robot cake plate

In the spotlight: Love from Random

Lovely lovely tea towels for lovely lovely ladies

Baking for beginners: Macaroni and cheese with bacon

Other sites I’ve been loving include Make and Takes and Old School.

Thursday, 12th November through Monday, 16th November B&Q are offering 15% off everything in the store for friends and family (that means you!)

I stumbled across the Ikea Hacker website once when I was trying to figure out if it was possible to paint our old Billy bookcase. I never did end up trying to paint our Billy, and this website has since been integrated into Instructables.com, but I still get a kick out of it. Ikea furniture is a budget staple in many homes but it doesn’t have to be dull. Check out these ideas:

• Malm bed goes glam
• Lack shelving bench
• Dotted Regolit lamp shade
• Benjamin gets souped up
• Expedit bookcase cover up
