Thanks for stopping by today! Recently I partnered with Kaboodle Kitchen to design some overhead cupboards for my laundry. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look and I knew this would be a reasonably easy DIY project my husband and I could tackle. I have been in my house for 5 years and […]
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 if you see in a […]
Don’t you hate it when your towels just don’t smell fresh? It’s not usually until you start to dry yourself when you realise they need re-washing! Maybe you want to freshen up some old towels, or you’d like to really kill any dirt/bacteria trapped in your towels? It’s easy peasy and here’s how… Instructions: If […]
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I thought I’d hunt out some ways to display your photos at home. If you’re like me, you need a push to even get them printed out these days. Most of mine sit on my phone or Instagram, but I really do enjoy them more when they are […]
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 corner in my outdoor area […]
I wanted a fake hanging plant, but they are so expensive (well I think they are!). So of course I decided to come up with my own idea… My son has always had a real hanging plant in his bedroom (you’ll see below), but he’s had about 3 lately as they just don’t love it […]
It’s school holidays and I have a child who is always busting to ‘build something’ (hence wanting to be a builder!). Sooooo I was a bit sick of my current coffee table and thought we could whip up a new one. My husband has an endless supply of pallets at his work. If you get […]
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 decided to do a DIY! […]
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 years ago, I had to […]
Artificial turf has become very popular. When people started using it in their backyards a few years ago I was very skeptical – 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 a big improvement in the […]
How to paint furniture Painting furniture is such a cheap and easy way to transform something old in to a feature piece. The internet is full of ideas on how to do this. You can paint chairs, dressers, console tables, frames, mirrors and so much more. I’ve painted lots of things over the years. I […]
Macrame is still big! Actually, do you think it’s getting BIGGER? The huge retail stores are even selling them. And tutorials are ALL over the place. Did you want to make one yourself? They are pretty cheap to do, and once you’ve mastered a few knot skills you can make them bigger and better. I […]
