Artificial turf ideas
Artificial turf has become very popular. When people started using it in their backyards a few years ago I was very dubious – we probably all were. I was a little cringey and unsure of it. BUT it’s come a long way in the last couple of years. There’s been…

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Today I thought I’d give you some steps on how to water indoor plants. Well this is how I water mine and I have lots of plants which are doing well (don’t worry, I’ve killed a few too!), but mostly I am having some…
5 items you should never leave at the op shop
I don’t mind a bit of op shopping and trawling through local second-hand stores. It is true what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. And with a bit of creativity and a lick of paint, anything can look new again. But there are a few items that…

Bathroom reno No. 2
Another bathroom reno done! This one was finished at the end of January. It wasn’t smooth sailing but I’m happy with how it turned out. There was asbestos so it was a full strip, clean and re-do just about everything. It cost a little more, but it actually wasn’t too…

A cheap dining table
Dining tables are so expensive aren’t they? I needed something round to fit in to this Airbnb house but I didn’t have the budget for something brand new. I was lucky to snap this one up on Facebook Marketplace for $80. All it needed was a good sand a coat…
Adding a rendered board to the kitchen
I didn’t know what to put on the back of this kitchen panel. But then I thought why not try some render?! It came up pretty good I think. I painted it in a off white and now it adds a bit more texture to the room. I’m going to…
A kitchen before + after
Another before and after. 🤩 Here’s the kitchen! It just has a few finishing touches to go. The whole space was ripped apart, walls re-sheeted, a door filled in, bulkhead built and the cabinetry was all DIY from Kaboodle through Bunnings. What a huge job! I couldn’t be happier with…
