DIY: Paint a set of OARS
Howdy! A while ago I bought a set of oars for $25 from a junk shop. I knew I could give them a new lease on life. A sand and some paint and they’d fill a spot on a shelf. They weren’t looking so fabulous when I bought them. They were…
DIY Easycraft Panel VJ Wall
This is not a sponsored post. I paid for all materials. I painted a chalkboard wall in my laundry a few years ago. I actually hated it and wanted it gone. There are only 2 ways to fix a chalkboard wall – sand it all off and repaint, or cover…
Freshen the toilet with these fizzy bombs
I decided to make a few fizzy toilet bombs to keep my bathroom smelling fresh. No need to use harmful sprays and chemicals. Make your own! These were SO easy. What you’ll need Bi-carb soda – a mildly abrasive cleaner and an excellent deodoriser. Citric acid – gives the fizzy effect, and…
DIY non toxic JIF
I’ve added another non-toxic cleaning product to my cupboard with a DIY. Here’s a list of other items I’ve replaced too if you want to check that out. I don’t need to use JIF all the time, but occasionally I need to get the beetroot off the benches, the marks…
DIY: Make over your cleaning cupboard

A cute hanging chair
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I added a macrame hanging chair to my outdoor area last weekend and Instagram loved it, so I thought I’d share all the details over here. I’ve always wanted a hanging chair, but didn’t want to pay a fortune. I had the perfect…
DIY: Turn a scarf in to a cushion
Yesterday I turned 3 scarves in to cushions in about 20 minutes. I’ve been having what I call “cushion rage” lately… I hated everything I saw in the shops, I hated what I already owned and if I did see one I liked I was not spending $65. Soooooo I…
We added some shelves to our walk-in-pantry
I have a good sized walk-in-pantry. It’s behind my kitchen. You can see the fridge above on the left and then the photo below you can see the fridge again, so it’s tucked behind the kitchen. It’s pretty big, and I love it! But when we built the house 5…
