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…
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…
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…
Chic hanging chairs for your outdoor space
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.…

A concrete tank plunge pool?
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…
Install an IXL Fresco Aurora outdoor heater!
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…
Paint your lawn green!
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…
DIY Outdoor Live Edge Table
