Devil’s ivy, also called golden pothos, is a tropical, evergreen vine which can be grown indoors as a hardy, carefree plant in any zone. I have a very big healthy one already, and I decided I’d like to make another one. Instead of buying a new plant, I thought I’d propagate…

Which white paint and where?
Did I tell you that we (and when I say “we” I mean I only participated for 25% of it ?) repainted a chunk of our house last week? I just can’t believe what a difference fresh paint is. We’ve been in this house almost 7 years and it was…
A black fence
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…
DIY your overhead laundry cupboards
Thanks for stopping by today! Recently I partnered with Kaboodle Kitchen to design some overhead cupboards for my laundry. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look and I knew this would be a reasonably easy DIY project my husband and I could tackle. I have been in my…
DIY round pallet coffee table with hairpin legs
It’s school holidays and I have a child who is always busting to ‘build something’ (hence wanting to be a builder!). Sooooo I was a bit sick of my current coffee table and thought we could whip up a new one. My husband has an endless supply of pallets at…
DIY fake plant hanging pot
I wanted a fake hanging plant, but they are so expensive (well I think they are!). So of course I decided to come up with my own idea… My son has always had a real hanging plant in his bedroom (you’ll see below), but he’s had about 3 lately as…
DIY batten feature wall in black
I’d been wanting to fancy up this feature wall for a while but there are never enough hours in the day! Last weekend I finally got one of my kids to make this wall for me. He’s just about to head in to his second year as a carpenter apprentice,…
Styling a bedroom
When you’ve got a lot of decorating to do in your house, the easiest room to start with is the bedroom! I work with Kellie and she moved in to her new house about 18 months ago and wanted me to help her get some decorating finished. This room had…
Add a hanging space to shelves
I did this project a while ago and thought I’d share it again. It was super easy and has made a big difference to how I use this room. Shamefully it was a huge mess (and mostly still is!). It’s a walk-in storage room off my laundry. During Winter it…
How to water succulents
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…
Dining Table Makeovers
Is your dining table looking a little tired? I see so many tables for sale on our local buy, swap, sell pages that have good bones and a good shape, they just need a serious sand (to rid themselves of that orange stain) or a paint job. Or even better,…
Hang a DIY tapestry
A couple of weeks ago I picked up this huge piece of canvas from a Facebook marketplace. It was already painted with some pinks/grey/black. It measured about 1.5m x 1m and was only $20. That’s definitely a bargain! You can buy unstretched canvas from craft stores too so if you’re…
