I was visiting my parents recently when I happened to glance over and see this beside their garage... Hmmm, a cruddy old brake fluid drum, how fascinating, right? Well, yes, I mean, it is cruddy and old and whilst I had probably looked at it a hundred times...
For the first time in a long time we were lucky enough to get away for a few days and spent last week at my parent's beach house in St Leonards, which is on the Bellarine Peninsula along Australia's south-eastern coast. I'd been looking forward to heading down there...
Is it too ambitious of me to hope there's actually someone loyal enough they're still around to read this post? I'm now nicely settled back in at home with beautiful baby Charlotte and between putting milk in one end and cleaning it up out of the other (plus spending...
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact I get to call Australia home, though a word of warning to anyone thinking of moving here (particularly if you're a home DIY-aholic accustomed to a seemingly endless array of affordable and easily attainable supplies). Sure, we might...

Update: Check out my complete distressed coffee table tutorial here. I'll be the first to admit I've been a very, very bad blogger of late (tist, tist to me). And whilst I wouldn't be surprised if due to my month long hiatus there's no-one still around here to...
Firstly, thanks so much to everyone for all the baby well wishes - you guys are just too sweet :-) Now, on to some decorating stuff!!! I wanted to finally share the little face-lift I gave my master bedroom built-in robe. Remember how a little while ago I put out an...
Update: Check out how my timber furniture looks in my refreshed farmhouse style master bedroom here. Before I began my master bedroom revamp I knew I wanted some rustic timber to keep the space warm and grounded, however finding the right pieces to 'restore' rather...
