Admittedly I was a little skeptical about the basket wall craze. It’s a bit like plates on the wall… an odd thing to do. Baskets, to me, are used for pots or items on a table. Then to see them stuck on walls raised an eyebrow. BUT I will say…
SodaStream: Better for you & better for the environment
Brought to you by SodaStream. Gone are the days of having a SodaStream as a novelty item in your home! We ditched that idea years ago. Now we have one purely because a) we love water and b) we’re happy to reduce the plastic waste in our home. I have…
Floor Plan Friday: Media, Study and Loft
You must visit the site where I found this floor plan. The facade on this one is what originally got me in (oh, and the loft!). I like the free-flowing living/dining space which is really open. You can enjoy views from all angles. I’d make the master bathroom bigger though.…
Bring that dying plant back to life
We’ve all done it – killed a plant! Multiple I bet. I love my indoor plants, but I’ve also had to put a few in the ICU. Currently I have my friend’s fiddle leaf fig here. I’m trying to bring it back from some serious over watering. It doesn’t look…
Display ideas for essential oils
If you have a collection of essential oils you might like to display them (and easily access them!). There are so many great stands and racks. Most of them can be found on ETSY (Australia). I’ve got a couple of different types but my favourite is the large box. I…
Another teen boys bedroom makeover
If you’ve been following along, you’ll know I’ve been on a mission to makeover all of my boys’ bedrooms. I had 3 of them to do. Yesterday I finished the last one – he’s 18. The wall was created by him (he’s an apprentice carpenter) and when he got sick…
Tips on how to organise your fridge
Food comes in and out of our house extremely fast. 3 teenage boys will do that! While we have been stuck at home I thought I’d be super fancy and fix up the storage in my fridge to make it look better. The boredom is kicking in ha! The first…
How to create a cosy bedroom
Finding yourself at home more than usual lately? Considering we all spend a lot of time in our bedrooms hoping to get good sleep, relax more or overcome illness, then making sure this space is clean, fresh (and stylish!) is important. Maybe it’s time to see how you can cosy…
How to deep clean your home
Brought to you by Britex. With so many of us in social isolation right now, many of us find ourselves with time to tackle the jobs we keep putting off. Carpet cleaning included! My husband and I both work full time and with 3 teenage boys living here too, things…
Floor Plan Friday: Impressive rear living
I’m not sure if I’ve share this before, but I thought it was a different, but probably a good plan for the larger family. There are some special elements in this one. The atrium… who wouldn’t love that?! It’s different. Bed 3 only has a window which looks out on…
Healthy Habits When You’re Working From Home
With a huge amount of people suddenly working from home it can feel a little confusing. It might feel like the weekend, a rostered day off, or are you supposed to be sick? It’s strange when you’re not used to it. Distraction will be your enemy. Housework, phone calls, tv…
9 items for a perfect workspace
Who is getting busy from home? I’m all set up here and am officially working from home. For how long, who even knows! I’m lucky my actual day job allows me to do that (Marketing Manager at a Real Estate Company, and boy haven’t we been busy with the changes!).…
