Whada you do when you come across something you really love? Something for your home that you know there is no practical place or use for? Do you buy it just because? Just because you might never come across one again? Just because it was a really good price? Just...
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...
For the first time in a long time we were lucky enough to get away for a few days and spent last week at my parent's beach house in St Leonards, which is on the Bellarine Peninsula along Australia's south-eastern coast. I'd been looking forward to heading down there...
Is it too ambitious of me to hope there's actually someone loyal enough they're still around to read this post? I'm now nicely settled back in at home with beautiful baby Charlotte and between putting milk in one end and cleaning it up out of the other (plus spending...
I have a confession to make; I'm not really much of a sewer. There, I've said it, and the truth is, I don't even own a machine! I mean, I can do basic straight lines - like pillows and the like (as you may have seen in previous posts) - though ask me about slip covers...

Update: Check out how my timber furniture looks in my refreshed farmhouse style master bedroom here. Before I began my master bedroom revamp I knew I wanted some rustic timber to keep the space warm and grounded, however finding the right pieces to 'restore' rather...
Remember this little cabinet from my bedroom reveal? I reckon this early 1900's cupboard was originally some kind of kitchen dry store or food safe though I picked it up for $60 off eBay knowing it would be a perfect new house for all our shoes. This was the simplest...
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments about my bedroom revamp. One of the most mentioned and asked about items was the armoire. Well, 'armoire' is perhaps a tad too fancy, it's just a plain free-standing robe really. It was funny to read all the different...
Although I must admit I don't actually have any tea trolleys in my home (hmmm, that might need to change) I do just love them. So when I spied this little guy on the curb I knew he'd be coming straight home with me. I gotta say that he did kinda just sit around for a...
