The latest instalment in my DIY category is a one for the marble obsessed and home decor enthusiast. It's a simple do it yourself project that can be done inexpensively but look incredibly chic. It takes a little time and patience but the end result is definitely worth it.

After spending a lot of time making my workspace attractive enough to want to spend the day (and night) at I felt pretty disgruntled to see the horrible plastic laptop stand on my desk that took up a huge amount of space. It was unattractive and rather naff if I'm honest (I had sellotape a piece of the end that had snapped) so I went in search for something more pleasing to the eye. Many hours and pins later I found the perfect stand that was practical and worked with my existing colour scheme, copper!
