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...

Bird and Twig Nursery Mobile

Bird and Twig Nursery Mobile

  When I woke this morning I noticed a soft golden glow creeping in from beyond my bedroom curtains and when I peered out the window saw the tree limbs dancing in the type of gentle breeze which makes you want to hang fresh white sheets on the clothes line. It...

Chippy Painted Side Table

Chippy Painted Side Table

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...

Convert a Music Tripod into a Lamp

Convert a Music Tripod into a Lamp

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact I get to call Australia home, though a word of warning to anyone thinking of moving here (particularly if you're a home DIY-aholic accustomed to a seemingly endless array of affordable and easily attainable supplies). Sure, we might...

Update: Check out my complete distressed coffee table tutorial here. I'll be the first to admit I've been a very, very bad blogger of late (tist, tist to me). And whilst I wouldn't be surprised if due to my month long hiatus there's no-one still around here to...

Chalky Washed Armoire

Chalky Washed Armoire

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...

DIY Large Scale Printable Maps

DIY Large Scale Printable Maps

So, while my bedroom makeover drags on and on at least I can share some insightful snippets of the journey thus far to (hopefully) keep you keen. I know a lot of you have been hanging out to know how I was going to create a massive wall map on a budget - cause, dang,...

Starburst Twig Wreath

Starburst Twig Wreath

If you've read this blog more than just once you probably know I have a bit of a thing for using natural elements to decorate my home, and for a budget-savvy gal like me, there's no better way of introducing this textural earthiness to a space than via a...
