I did this under the kitchen sink storage DIY a while ago, but because it’s the beginning of the year and we all seem to be obsessed with cleaning and culling I thought I might re-post it. Isn’t she pretty? Ha! Jokes! What a mess. I bet yours isn’t much better? It’s such an awkward […]
If you’ve been hanging around on my blog for a while you’ll know that I am quite obsessed with succulents and growing them. My girlfriend gave me a few from her garden a while ago and since then I have been moving and spreading them around. You can see from below they just keep growing […]
I recently had another opportunity to add a shaftless skylight in my bathroom thanks to illume™ Shaftless Solar Skylights. I used one previously in my home office and I was keen to also get one in my main bathroom. It’s a three-way bathroom, so there is no window in the vanity/sink area. It can get […]
If you just can’t find that perfect pendant light, or everything you see is out of your budget, why not have a little go at a DIY? There are lots of ideas on Pinterest and I gathered a few here for you today. I love the wire orb the best! How clever. Check these out… […]
Building a new house is a huge investment and emotionally it can be one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. Luckily I love the process! I’ve built three times and renovated a few times so learning how to stick to a budget (but not comprise on what I want) has taught me a […]
I had wanted a barn door in this hallway space for a while. But it was just another project on my list… Then out of the blue my husband rang during the week and said he’d grab the work ute and come with me to get a new door for “that barn door thingy you […]
I love a bargain and a bunch of $5 flowers are right up there! But they look pretty average wrapped in their plastic. If you want to give someone a gift, but are embarrassed to give it to them wrapped like below, then today I have some really easy and cheap ways to style them […]
How’s your winter lawn looking? Ours is horrid! The frost has really been unkind to Wagga the last few months. Last year it didn’t stop raining, but this year we haven’t had much rain, rather we’ve been waking up most days to the frost. I have a huge front lawn and it browns off terribly […]
I was listening to a podcast last week called The Art of Decluttering which gave me a bit of a boost with cleaning out my kitchen and pantry. I am a pretty organised person generally, but when I get busy of course everything gets a little crazy. My husband does a lot of the cooking so […]
This project has been a long time coming but it’s finally done and I am sooooo happy! I have wanted a new dining table for a long time. My last one was very country, shabby chic and just wasn’t suited to what I liked anymore. There was nothing wrong with it (I sold it to […]
Brought to you by Gumtree. If you’ve seen my Instagram recently you’ll see that I have been trying to finish a DIY outdoor table using a slab of timber I picked up from someone who had this laying in their backyard! I couldn’t get it home quick enough. It’s a piece of Stringybark 3.2m long […]
Last year I updated my bathroom vanity taps to black ones from MEIR. I love them, but I wanted to also change that towel ring there on the left (I have them in both bathrooms). I know this is a crappy photo but I didn’t get a chance to take a proper before. Anyway, I […]
