The Staged House | Master Bedroom Reveal

Thanks so much for the lovely response to the Guest Bedroom Reveal I posted last week. You guys are just the best! I've been trying to reply to all of the comments, but have been a bit pressed for time, so please bear with me. I'm popping back in today to share the...

The Staged House | ‘Guest’ Bedroom Reveal

The Staged House | ‘Guest’ Bedroom Reveal

I've been slowly working through some of the photos I took of my late mother-in-law's property (which, for ease, I'm now coining 'The Staged House'). At first I wanted to share an over-arching post inclusive of all spaces (similar to what I did for my gran's house)...

Why, hello there! Sorry if you were in the middle of munching on some cereal. Pretty sure the shock of seeing a new post from me now has that mouthful of Froot Loops all over your screen! In all seriousness though, yes, it's been a while and I'm so sorry for the...

The Suite Extension DIY Kitchenette Progress

The Suite Extension DIY Kitchenette Progress

I'll be the first to admit that I've been a very bad blogger of late. You'd think being stuck at home all day, every day, would open-up a world of spare hours, but I've actually found myself more time challenged than usual. I know my seemingly relaxed approach to this...

DIY Shutters for the Suite Extension House

If you're anything like me, then you probably consume quite a bit of design and decoration content online, either through social media, blogs or other websites. And, like me, in your time you may have come across the odd article or two about exterior shutters and...
