WHO AM I?
Hello! I'm Lin, a 29-year-old stay-at-home mom living on a beautiful farm in Limpopo. As a new mom, I'm embracing the joys and challenges of motherhood, finding inspiration in the everyday moments of life on the farm.
In addition to caring for my little one, I have a deep passion for DIY projects. From home renovations to crafting and upcycling, I love using my creativity to transform spaces and create beautiful, functional items. Living on a farm provides me with endless opportunities to explore my DIY interests, whether it's working on home improvement projects, gardening, or crafting unique decor pieces.
Social media has become my creative outlet, allowing me to share my DIY adventures, tips, and ideas with a wonderful community of like-minded enthusiasts. I enjoy learning new techniques, and finding inspiration through the stories and projects shared by fellow DIY lovers.
Join me on this journey as I navigate the joys of motherhood, farm life, and the exciting world of DIY. Let's create, inspire, and grow together🤍
YOU ARE THE GLUE THAT HOLDS MY DIY DREAMS TOGETHER. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE & FOLLOWING ALONG
My GO-TO tools I’ve been using for the past 3 years.
MY MOST USED & FAVORITE PRODUCTS
PAINT, SEALER & EXTRAS
Polvin Matt Paint
This is the base I use for all my interior walls. I personally want a matt finish on my walls.
NOTE : this is only the base you still have to mix your preferred colour into this base.Velvaglo plascon paint
This is the paint finish I use when I know it will have high traffic. This is the highest quality paint with a semi-sheen gloss. Which I thought would bother me at first and I ended up loving the finish.
Caulk
I use caulk in all the connecting points where wood & the wall meets.
Paint & Wood sealer
I use this sealer on painted surfaces to add an extra barrier. I also use this on bare wood surfaces to keep the colour of the wood as raw as possible. TIP: the more layers you add the better!
Primer
My nr 1 paint primer. The best 🤌
NO MORE NAILS

COLOUR PALETTE —
LIMPOPO FARMHOUSE
Choosing the right paint colours for your home is more than just an aesthetic decision—it's a way to create a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere that reflects your personal style. Sticking to a well-thought-out colour palette can unify different rooms and spaces, providing a sense of flow and continuity throughout your home. By carefully selecting complementary hues and shades, you can enhance the natural light, accentuate architectural features, and create a balanced ambiance that feels both inviting and polished. Whether you're aiming for a serene, neutral palette or a bold, vibrant scheme, consistency in your colour choices helps to tie everything together, making your home feel like a thoughtfully designed sanctuary.
