I never could have guessed the amount of interest my little canister labels project (posted back in February) would generate. I have been happily inundated with comments and questions ever since! One stand-out request has been for me to share the original PSD...

Client Consultation…Sitting Room Design

Client Consultation…Sitting Room Design

A little while back I was contacted by Corinne who was in the midst of planning a home renovation. She told me she lived in the country on seven acres (lucky thing!) with her husband and five kids and was keen to refresh her interior. Her goal was to create a more...

Filling a Naked Picture Frame

Filling a Naked Picture Frame

Sorry if my post title lured you here in hopes of some gratuitous nudity :-) I thought I'd ease back into the décor side of things with this easy project. It's certainly not rocket science though for anyone scratching their head about an easy way to re-claim their...

Industrial Sconce Light Makeover

Industrial Sconce Light Makeover

At the moment I'm helping Mum organise and re-design the little nook (parent's retreat) off her and Dad's master bedroom. Whilst the complete room reveal is still a whiles away I wanted to share the finished upgrade of the wall sconces. If you've read this blog more...
