Every now and again I'm reminded just how amazing paint can be! Take this ramshackle collection of discarded "goodies"... Lovely, aren't they? Let's face it, ordinarily you wouldn't look twice at any of this, right? The round board was the original top from the stool...
This was such a fun-daunting-exciting-scary makeover for me! If you follow me socially (on Facebook or Instagram) or are a blog subscriber, you've probably heard about this project - in fact, you may even have already seen it! Last weekend I was fortunate to have the...
Firstly, I have to express my gratitude for such an amazing response to my last post. Given I almost didn't publish it I was completely overwhelmed by the comments and emails. Thank you all. When I shared my parent's bathroom refresh last month many of you asked to...
This is one post I thought I'd never publish. If you follow me socially (on Facebook or Instagram) you may have seen a sneak peek of this makeover and read about my reservations in sharing it here. Basically, this is my gran's house which we suddenly needed to sell...

It's reveal time! And I'm super excited to finally share this realisation of a concept that's been floating around in my head for a few years now. I had no idea if I was going to be able to pull this idea off though it actually worked and I'm stoked with the result. I...
If you're anything like me, you probably have a stash of lovely left-over fabric scraps testing the seams of an old box somewhere. There's heaps you can do with those pretty remnants though this particular project is something I've been meaning to try for a few years...
