A Makeover for my Entryway

A Makeover for my Entryway

If you're not new here you might be wondering just what's going on with my previously blogged about home office space. Well, between scrubbing breakfast cereal off my walls (no-one warned me that, once dry, milk and weetbix actually forms a NASA-grade adhesive) and...

IKEA Card File Drawers Hack

At the moment, amongst other things, I'm working on a totally new room makeover at my hive. It's a little space I've not shared previously. I can't wait for the final reveal though with a little pair of hands constantly clutching at my pant legs (with an accompanying...

At the moment I'm helping Mum organise and re-design the little nook (parent's retreat) off her and Dad's master bedroom. Whilst the complete room reveal is still a whiles away I wanted to share the finished upgrade of the wall sconces. If you've read this blog more...

Tolix Chairs for the Dining Room!

Have I mentioned my complex? The one about buying furniture brand new? Seriously, I mean complex. The whole concept is just an enigma to me. Don't get me wrong though, I know second-hand is not always the best way to go though if I happen to spy you...

The Nursery Reveal!

The Nursery Reveal!

Before Charlotte actually out-grows her cot I thought I'd better finish off her room! Well, for that reason and also cause it's about time I finally shared it on my blog! Of course it would have been completed four months ago, before she actually arrived in the world,...

Faux Pressed Metal Brake Fluid Drum!

I was visiting my parents recently when I happened to glance over and see this beside their garage...   Hmmm, a cruddy old brake fluid drum, how fascinating, right? Well, yes, I mean, it is cruddy and old and whilst I had probably looked at it a hundred times...
