A few weeks ago I finally got to drag the mish-mash of plastic tubs and cardboard boxes out from under Charlotte's bed and roll in some new, perfectly proportioned timber drawers instead. Although original said "mish-mash" was jammed in there pretty tightly the...
I'm between big projects at the moment (aren't I always?) though that doesn't mean there isn't anything fun to share right now. If you read my last post, or if you follow me through social media, you probably already know that I just joined Instagram. Finally! The...
Do you guys remember this makeover from last year? Well, I'm super excited to announce I am once again taking part in the Feast Watson Re-Love Project! For anyone unfamiliar with the campaign, the Re-Love Project is a charitable collaboration between Feast Watson and...
