I'm a little ashamed to admit I started writing this post around four years ago. At the time I had just finished refreshing my parent's bedroom and was going to add some art to a remaining blank wall in the space. I decided on blue and white ceramic paintings (mum...
There's something exciting about listing old stuff for sale. The anticipation of an offer, the fun of playing "shop", and the prospect of a little windfall. More than anything though is the sense of freedom which comes from purging those extraneous items, and the...
UPDATE You can now find the finished room HERE. This should be some fun! When my sister mentioned she'd like to makeover her little dining space, in virtually the same breath she dismissed the idea due to a lack of funds. You see, my sister's not really into thrifty...
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...

Firstly, I have to express my gratitude for such an amazing response to my last post. Given I almost didn't publish it I was completely overwhelmed by the comments and emails. Thank you all. When I shared my parent's bathroom refresh last month many of you asked to...
This is one post I thought I'd never publish. If you follow me socially (on Facebook or Instagram) you may have seen a sneak peek of this makeover and read about my reservations in sharing it here. Basically, this is my gran's house which we suddenly needed to sell...
I know it's been a long time coming, though the most protracted bathroom makeover in history is ready for its close up...or wide angle...or medium range shot...or whatever sort of photo it takes to finally get this bleeping room up on the blog! There's really no good...
