I must admit, when I posted about this impromptu room refresh last week and received lots of excited "Can't wait to see!" messages, I felt a little worried. Aside from the fact the budget was just meager, the room itself was quite nice and neutral to begin with. This...
I hope you all had a lovely time over Christmas and New Year! Our days were filled with rollicking children, too much food, lazy mornings, too much champagne, and lots of laughter with friends and family. Getting back into the swing of things today by posting details...
I know that seasonal and holiday decorating is essentially the inherent duty of any home blogger, though as I've admitted several times in the past, it's just not my thing - even when it comes to the mighty crescendo that is Christmas. It's not that I don't adore the...
I never thought I'd be able to create another kid's space I'd love quite so much as my daughter's bedroom...but I may have done just that. In fact, I might even love it more! From the start I was excited about the rustic-earthy-vintage-collected-lodgey feel I was...

After lots of indecision, uncertainty, and sanding, it's done! I questioned myself A LOT throughout this project, and it really wasn't until I pulled everything together that I realised I had actually pulled everything off! In case you've missed my previous posts...
When I mentioned to my son that I was planning on painting just the tops and bases of these chairs, I described it to him as giving them all hats and socks. I thought that was kind of cute until he went on to add that "the hats will eat the socks and then the chairs...
Every now and again I'm reminded just how amazing paint can be! Take this ramshackle collection of discarded "goodies"... Lovely, aren't they? Let's face it, ordinarily you wouldn't look twice at any of this, right? The round board was the original top from the stool...
