Love the stools!

I really like these stools. Has anyone seen them around before? Anyone want to make me some? 🙂

They're made from truck springs – I've seen people using these lately (mostly from big machinery used in mining) I'd say these are DIY'd? Pretty nifty!

They're very interesting. I like them but they look rather heavy. I wonder if they bounce?

They're awesome! I've never seen them before although my fiance does work in a coal mine…perhaps he could "borrow" some springs from some sort of giant machine… 😉 lol

ABOUT ME

I’m Katrina, a DIY enthusiast and Airbnb host. By day, I work my magic in interior styling, bringing spaces to life. Excitingly, I have a new house build coming in 2024. Additionally, I sell eBooks on Renovating and How To Be an Airbnb host. Oh, and I proudly embrace life with a colostomy bag.

Am I too old? Is it too late? 👇👇👇

If you’re anything like me (and in your mid-life) you’ve probably asked yourself this a few times. The straightforward answer is...

NO!

You are never too old, and it’s never too late to establish goals and chase new dreams! In fact, midlife could be the prime time to do this!

Here’s why...

👉 In midlife, you likely have more time than ever before, particularly if your children have grown up and moved out.

👉 You’ve gained clearer insights into who you are, what you want, and what truly matters to you.

👉 You’ve moved past living up to others’ expectations and ‘shoulds’, learning how to carve out your own space in life without feeling guilty (or at least you’re on your way there).

👉 Your willingness to learn is at its peak; you’re open to new approaches, ready to master proven methods for achieving goals, and breaking the endless cycle of depending on self-discipline and willpower only to face disappointment.

You’re definitely not too old, and it’s certainly not too late! In fact, this might just be the perfect moment for your goals and dreams!

Sorry for the chopped up video but I had to edit to 90 seconds. Longer version over on TT.

The book is called Fast. Feast. Repeat. From it, I understood that it takes 28 days to reset your liver, after which you start seeing results. It has been a new experience for me, and I’ve enjoyed it once I figured out how to do it properly. I started noticing last year how awful I felt after eating carbs and sugar. Now, I ensure everything in my eating window is healthy, though not overly restrictive. It’s not a diet; it’s just a change. I am following a 16:8 plan and can’t push myself beyond that because it makes me feel awful. If you can understand the science behind it, it will help you. I have Crohn’s Disease, so this approach is making me feel much better, and I quickly lost 8 kg once I got past the initial “reset.” I’m no health expert, so I’m not preaching, just sharing!

The cost of a kitchen renovation can vary widely d

The cost of a kitchen renovation can vary widely depending on several factors such as the size of the kitchen, the quality of materials used, the complexity of the layout changes, and the location. Here’s a general breakdown:

1. Basic Renovations: For smaller projects or cosmetic updates like new paint, cabinet hardware, or minor improvements, costs can start from around $3,000 to $8,000.

2. Mid-Range Renovations: Including new appliances, cabinets, benchtops, and possibly some electrical and plumbing work, you might be looking at about $10,000 to $25,000.

3. High-End Renovations: For a complete overhaul with high-quality materials, custom cabinetry, luxury appliances, and significant layout changes, costs can range from $25,000 to $50,000 or more.

Labour costs can account for a significant portion of the budget, and unforeseen issues like structural repairs or updates to plumbing and electrical systems can also increase the overall cost. It’s wise to set aside an additional 10-20% of your budget for unexpected expenses.
