Our Fijian Honeymoon

Our Fijian Honeymoon

We had an AMAZING time. We spent our first week on the main island, Viti Levu, down on the Coral Coast. Snorkelling, scuba diving, foraging for hermit crabs, drinking cocktails, cheering on cane toad races....you know, all the stereotypical islandy stuff!  ...

Living Room Reveal

On a crisp, sunny morning the french windows in our little living room greedily catch the first toasty beams of light and spread a gentle warmth throughout the space. When it's cool and gloomy outside however, they frame a haunting view of dispersing mists rolling...

Retro School Stools

Retro School Stools

Not sure about you, though typographics always seem to catch my eye. These stools were originally salvaged from an old secondary college where I assume they were used in woodwork class as most of them have what look like saw cuts, nail holes and chisel marks, not to...
