Hi, I’m Katrina!

I have a Uni degree in advertising and marketing but am super passionate about interior design, the real estate industry, renovating and anything DIY. Currently I’m renovating (again), hosting an Airbnb and looking for my next project!

After I clean the kitchen like a crazy person I like adding a bit of warmth and texture with a few olive tree branches. 😍

When renovating sometimes at first glance you thin

When renovating sometimes at first glance you think something should be ripped out, but then it grows on you! This bar was the easiest transformation and it’s become a favourite space in my Airbnb house. People love it.

If I did rip it out, I would have had dramas with the ceiling and floorboards, so the easiest solution was to embrace it and make a thing. I must say I’m quite in love with it now. 🥰

If you want to know where the furniture is from, pop back over some of my old posts because they’ve all been mentioned heaps 😀

Even though it looks finished, there’s still things to do! Every weekend I’m like ok I’ll go back in here and fix up the shutters, and gap around the door and scrape off a bit of excess grout in the corner… you just get over it all after a while 😂 #renofatigue #diy

I decided to swap my outdoor light for the Netatmo Outdoor Security Camera with Siren, and I'm never looking back!

In addition to acting as a light source (with its built-in smart lighting system), it provides a newfound peace of mind knowing I'll receive an alert if anything unusual occurs.

The Security Camera can distinguish between people, animals, vehicles and harmless movements. To further prevent false alarms, you can set alert preferences and define the areas you want to monitor. Anything out of the ordinary triggers an alert, which is sent to your phone via the Netatmo Home + Security app. You can also trigger the siren and its powerful 105-DB alarm straight from the app.

Thanks to infrared vision, the images are accessible 24 hours a day from your smartphone, including night captures. Local video storage is free of charge, and all features and updates are included without a subscription, forever.

If you've been thinking about setting up a home security system, this is your sign!

Prices from RRP $420 | Available at Amazon, The Good Guys and online at Legrand Australia.

Painted roof tiles + gutters ➡️ I get soooo ma

Painted roof tiles + gutters ➡️ I get soooo many questions about this!

This is the 2nd roof I’ve done. Ok, I didn’t get on the roof for this one (a friend helped!) but I did spray all the gutters myself.

The spray gun is in my highlights (under ‘spray gun’). I used Dulux Weathershield paint just in black. The roof was cleaned with a high-pressure hose before starting. It was the end of October when I did this so the weather was good and it was a still day so there was hardly any drift. 2 coats and done! If your roof tiles are in good condition you won’t have any dramas. ✅ I also love to renovate so I’m happy to give anything a go. The results are worth the effort and any maintenance down the track.

I just never took any proper after photos so I will do that when the weather warms up here again so you can see it all better! Make sure you’re following me.

I’ve also done the bricks, fences and window frames on a couple of houses. All in my highlights, other reels and on my blog. ✌🏻

🎤 Hello there! If you’re new here… I’m Katrina (of course, because that’s what my Insta says 🤣)

I’ve had my 40th birthday but who needs to know when that actually was anyway?! Ha!

I’ve got 3 boys who I love fiercely. One is 20 and he’s just bought his first house with his girlfriend. One is 17 and he’s still at school but is desperate to leave, and my baby is 16 and is so casual and easy going. I share them with their Dad week about (or whatever they choose).

I have a Uni degree in advertising and marketing but am into interior design, the real estate industry, renovating and anything DIY.

I’m very self sufficient and don’t like to rely on anyone. I’m pretty stubborn and I’m good in a crisis. I am practical and I don’t have a lot of time or patience for people 😂🤪 I’m not social (even though I love social media)!

I was on the tv show The Block in 2011 with my sister and I loved that experience (even though it nearly killed me!).

I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I was 18 years old. I’ve had lot of sickness over the years so I had permanent colostomy surgery in 2018, then late last year I had a completion proctectomy (where they sew your bum up!). Chronic illness makes you pretty tough and resilient.

Currently I’m renovating (again), hosting an Airbnb and looking for my next project! I’ve got lots of tips on my blog.

Thanks for being here. Hopefully I can motivate you to tackle your own project. I’ve got lots of things to share with you 💪🏻😘

Who’s with me on the ‘not social’ kind of person??! 😂⤵️

This time last year I was knee-deep in my first ever flatpack kitchen. It was the first time I’d completely stripped a kitchen and started from scratch.

I had a love/hate relationship with it. I look back now and can’t believe I got through it all. Yep I had help, but it was all DIY. I have no particular skills, I’m just determined to get shit done and not pay a fortune for it.

I paid about $12k start to finish for this kitchen. The only tradies needed were an electrician and plumber. Even DIY-ed a bulkhead and cornice! I’ve learnt a lot since then and my next kitchen (finished a couple of months ago) was only $8k!

If you’re willing and capable you’ll be able to get the same results. Just go for it.
