Brought to you by Thomsons Outdoor Pine. Australians have outdoor lifestyles. We are meant to breathe fresh air with tasty food and good company. And now that it’s still summer, we surely want to keep those sun rays caressing our faces before rain takes over. To maximise the season, why not let our homes be […]
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 space and create a welcoming […]
I have always loved the idea of a concrete tank plunge pool. They look so good. If you don’t have a big backyard this option could work for you? They nestle beautifully in a backyard and the kids will enjoy it for years to come. It can also be a cost effective solution to adding […]
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 […]
Most of us have that dead side yard at our house. You know the one, where nothing grows, you throw the bins and you never walk around there because it’s either too hot or damp?? When you build a new home it’s usually the last thing you think about when it comes to landscaping. No […]

Do you live in your outdoor area? We do! As much as we can. Of course we’re out there non-stop in the summer months. We eat, watch tv, swim and generally lounge around out there. In the hot months we have our ducted cooling blasting outside, but in the cooler months we haven’t had any […]
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 […]
Spring is finally here, hooooooooraaay! This means we get to be outdoors more often. Well in Wagga at least! We’ve had a freezing cold winter so there has been a lot of time spent on the couch in front of the heater. When the sun shows us some warmth I like to revamp my outdoor […]
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 […]
