Remember this little cabinet from my bedroom reveal? I reckon this early 1900's cupboard was originally some kind of kitchen dry store or food safe though I picked it up for $60 off eBay knowing it would be a perfect new house for all our shoes. This was the simplest...
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments about my bedroom revamp. One of the most mentioned and asked about items was the armoire. Well, 'armoire' is perhaps a tad too fancy, it's just a plain free-standing robe really. It was funny to read all the different...
Update: Check out how my bedroom has evolved! View more recent posts here. Some interesting wall angles and the need for tonnes of storage really dictated the design for our master bedroom. Function and budget were high priorities so I decided to work 'pretty' around...
Although I must admit I don't actually have any tea trolleys in my home (hmmm, that might need to change) I do just love them. So when I spied this little guy on the curb I knew he'd be coming straight home with me. I gotta say that he did kinda just sit around for a...

More a nook than an actual room, our little dining area forms the southern end of our living room. The neutral palette combines loads of natural elements and character-rich texture - with nothing too pretentious - for a relaxed, yet fresh space. So, whilst it's...
Question: What do you get when you take.... one kinda very ugly old light fixture, a can of black spray paint, some blingy old necklaces you wore once to a wedding three years ago, and an el-cheapo drum shade from Target? Answer: A pretty awesome 'new'...
You know those old-fashioned telephone tables? Like this one.... Most of them have good bones and smart lines (and can be found super-cheap!) and I've seen lots of them looking great once made-over though the utilitarian function is some-what defunct...
