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…

What to plant along a fence
If you have an ugly bare fence, then a bit of greenery will always change the entire look. But what should you plant along it? I do get asked what my plants are (a couple of photos are below). And I am pretty basic in the garden, but I have…
Put a pot at your front door
There are many ways to jazz up your front entry. I’ve written about curb appeal, painting your front door a colour and painting ugly bricks. But an easy simple thing you can do right now is grab some pots and put them by your entry. They will instantly transform the…
10 outdoor wall lights
I feel like outdoor wall lights have come a long way in the past 5 years. It was very hard to find anything decent. Mostly you could get a black, cream, green or white coach light and that was it! I love the look of some of these, and really…

Painted brick facades for instant curb appeal
If you watch those American reno shows you’ll notice that they are a big fan of painting an old tired brick facade. It’s actually a really great way to bring an ugly, boring home back to life. I’ve also seen a few painted brick homes popping up around Wagga lately.…

We’ve been having some lovely balmy nights in Wagga in between some crazy hot days. The boys have been enjoying the pool at night and I’ve been outside with Bear watching them. It got me thinking how nice it would be to have a hanging chair to relax in outside.…
Styling: Botanical Trend
The colour green is always a favourite in homes, and styling is easy when you add a simple plant to a room. “Bringing the outdoors in” is still popular and I am a huge fan of the botanical trend. Today I have some pretty images of homes which use plants/prints/greenery to…
Backyards that will turn you green with envy
Who doesn’t love looking at a perfectly manicured backyard? If you’re like me, you’re much better at taking care of the inside styling than the backyard. I love a good hedge and some roses, but I am not as clever as I’d like to be when it comes to outside…
