The barn door

How to propagate a Devil’s Ivy plant
Devil’s ivy, also called golden pothos, is a tropical, evergreen vine which can be grown indoors as a hardy, carefree plant in any zone. I have a very big healthy one already, and I decided I’d like to make another one. Instead of buying a new plant, I thought I’d propagate…
Add something different to your walls
I’ve added a few feature walls to my house recently. I’ve done a lounge room, laundry and bedroom. I am on the hunt now for a few new options – I have 2 more kids’ rooms to do. I went looking on Pinterest for some inspiration and thought I’d share…
A teen boys bedroom makeover

Which white paint and where?
Did I tell you that we (and when I say “we” I mean I only participated for 25% of it 🤣) repainted a chunk of our house last week? I just can’t believe what a difference fresh paint is. We’ve been in this house almost 7 years and it was…
A black fence
I don’t have a black fence, but I’d love one. I went looking around on Pinterest for some cool ideas and these are just gorgeous. Black just floats away in the background so if you can’t decide on which colour fence you should have, then just go black! You won’t…

DIY round pallet coffee table with hairpin legs

Add a hanging space to shelves
I did this project a while ago and thought I’d share it again. It was super easy and has made a big difference to how I use this room. Shamefully it was a huge mess (and mostly still is!). It’s a walk-in storage room off my laundry. During Winter it…
