My bathroom vanity & the regret
Truly, I love my bathrooms. I had the vanities custom made (to match my kitchen and laundry), and they are perfect. The ensuite bathroom is identical but smaller. The mirrors go all the way to the ceiling. The tops are Osprey Caesar Stone and I love the trough-style sinks. It's pretty basic, but I didn't want anything over the top. I also didn't want any colour. BUT... I stuffed [more]
What’s your big picture?
Do you have a big picture? You know, like a plan? And even a back-up plan? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've been trying to block out the noise and think about direction and purpose. We all have to have direction and purpose... Going through the motions just won't cut it. Are you good at saying NO? I am pretty good at it. It doesn't always work in my favour though. Someti[more]
DIY boys bedroom wall art
Hello there! Today I am going to show you a wall I created in my son's bedroom. I am not at all going to take the credit for this creativity and the originality, because I copied this idea straight from Simone at Honey & Fizz! I loved it when I saw it a few month ago and from that day onwards I was on the hunt for some clipboards! Finally I found them at Officeworks and we already had t[more]
The weekly ramblings
{source} Hi there! I've been a bit absent these past few weeks... I've just been going through the motions of life... you know how it is? Last night I ordered the worst take-away of my life. I have never ordered takeaway online and I think I have ordered pizza take-away like twice. So I did it again last night. Now I know why I don't do it. It was the worst rubbish ever. And my kids hated [more]

We’re having a bit of a clean up here today
{source} It's the long weekend so do you have anything exciting planned? We decided not to go away this weekend, but rather stay here and potter around the house. It's been just over 2 months since we moved in and I still have tonnes of half unpacked boxes in the garage. It's time to sort through them. Some are going in to storage (in our roof or down to my husband's factory) and others will [more]
Using mirrors in your living room
I was in bed last night thinking about mirrors (as you do!). I love them, and don't use them enough. I'd love to do a huge wall or something. So the first place I went to for inspiration was Pinterest (I made a board here). I have a couple of ideas in my head as to where I could put some large mirrors, but I'll keep pondering a little longer... I have a round mirror like the one above, [more]
Time, Activities and Achievement
Hi there! Yesterday I showed you my DIY glass vase lamp shade and today here is my new kitchen print. It's a $5 tea-towel from Typo and I framed it. It was so hard to get a photo of it because the room is really sunny and I had to stand out of the reflection! I love it and think it's funny. My eldest child gets it, but just rolls his eyes at me... :) You know when you're cruising along in l[more]
