September 26, 2019 21 Comments

If you saw the girl’s bedroom reveal from the flip house, then you’ll already know a bit about this simple bed makeover. As mentioned in that previous post, the bed was already in the room and originally I was tempted to replace it. It was just so plain and basic that my initial reaction was...…READ MORE

If you’re anything like me, you probably have a stash of lovely left-over fabric scraps testing the seams of an old box somewhere. There’s heaps you can do with those pretty remnants though this particular project is something I’ve been meaning to try for a few years now. And I finally got the perfect excuse!...…READ MORE

Simple Tea Towel Lumbar Pillow

March 5, 2013 43 Comments

This is one of the easiest pillows you’ll ever make. There’s no hemming, seaming, measuring, or even cutting! And, if you use fusible tape, then there’s no sewing involved either! The trick is using a cute tea towel. I know, I know, it’s not a revolutionary idea, though it’s one I reckon can often be overlooked. Conveniently hemmed,...…READ MORE

In our newly appointed home office space (which is almost finished and soon to be shared!) there’s a floor to ceiling double sliding windowed door (as briefly blogged about here).

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...…READ MORE

Make Your Own Throw Blanket

October 15, 2010 56 Comments

I gave up my search for a beautiful natural linen throw blanket a while back now. It wasn’t because I couldn’t find one for a reasonable price mind you, it was cause I couldn’t find one at ALL (though if I had I’m sure it would have cost a pretty penny anyways). From the get-go I wanted to include...…READ MORE

Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m in love with typography and would marry it if I could…. ….you know what they say though – too much of a good thing is never a good thing…. ….though does it really have to be so?…. ….I mean, surely a letter here and a number there can’t really hurt…can it? It’s lucky...…READ MORE
