It's not always easy to see the potential in things. Take this incongruous collection of second-hand planters I was gifted... At first glance it's not the most attractive assembly of items, is it? I mean, if you were looking to create a pretty co-ordinated cluster of...
I must admit, when I posted about this impromptu room refresh last week and received lots of excited "Can't wait to see!" messages, I felt a little worried. Aside from the fact the budget was just meager, the room itself was quite nice and neutral to begin with. This...
I hope you all had a lovely time over Christmas and New Year! Our days were filled with rollicking children, too much food, lazy mornings, too much champagne, and lots of laughter with friends and family. Getting back into the swing of things today by posting details...
I know that seasonal and holiday decorating is essentially the inherent duty of any home blogger, though as I've admitted several times in the past, it's just not my thing - even when it comes to the mighty crescendo that is Christmas. It's not that I don't adore the...
I never thought I'd be able to create another kid's space I'd love quite so much as my daughter's bedroom...but I may have done just that. In fact, I might even love it more! From the start I was excited about the rustic-earthy-vintage-collected-lodgey feel I was...

I'd walked through my brother's front door dozens of times before though for some reason, one day a few weeks back, it made me pause... ...and kind of burned my eyes. I know he's not alone in having an ugly dated facade along with no real budget and limited aptitude...
Who woulda thought an instant coffee jar wearing a belt could look so cute? Not me, if I'm honest. This was one of those experimental projects which could have gone one of two ways...epic fail or surprising success. Thankfully, it appears to have been the latter!...
After lots of indecision, uncertainty, and sanding, it's done! I questioned myself A LOT throughout this project, and it really wasn't until I pulled everything together that I realised I had actually pulled everything off! In case you've missed my previous posts...
