A mini bathroom makeover

A couple of weeks ago I got in a mood and decided my bathrooms needed a freshen up. I hated the grout, it wasn’t great to start with and it was a yucky colour, bits had fallen out and I didn’t want dramas down the track, so I decided…

DIY painted wall art

Some people will say a big no-no to “homemade art”. But not me. I think if you’re creative, got a good eye and willing to give art a go, then why not?! Not everyone can afford hundreds of dollars for a piece of art for every wall in their…
