My First (decent) Christmas Tree!

My First (decent) Christmas Tree!

I've never had a decent Christmas tree. The year we moved into our first home, we didn't have one at all. The following year we bought the cheapest, nastiest faux tree from the supermarket...for $12...the night before Christmas. Needless to say, it wasn't the finest...

A “New” Vintage Desk & Swivel Chair

So, I know it's basically December and publishing a post without any hint of pine needles or flocked snow is seemingly akin to impudence, though let's be rebels! Over the past few weeks I've been chipping away at Riley's bedroom re-do, with the most recently completed...

Around the same time I was designing the floating bookshelves for behind Charlotte's bedroom door, I happened to notice some drawer tidies in Kmart. "You know what?" I remarked to my mum, who was shopping with me that day, "These would be good re-purposed as little...
