Ever since spying a collection of antique-style typographic signs in a boutique homewares store a few years back my love for their understated appeal has done nothing but blossom. It seems the charm of these simple yet striking pieces also isn't lost on others, as...
A few weeks ago I finally got to drag the mish-mash of plastic tubs and cardboard boxes out from under Charlotte's bed and roll in some new, perfectly proportioned timber drawers instead. Although original said "mish-mash" was jammed in there pretty tightly the...
There's something about the large-scale use of bold patterns which scares me a bit. IÂ know that probably sounds stupid (I mean, it's just 'stuff' after all) though as a budget-concious DIY decorator with a decidedly fickle streak I think it's the fear of expending a...

I've coveted barn style doors for almost as long as I can remember. Something about their exposed hardware, diagonal trim and gracious nod to yesteryear just gets me. A few years back I tried quelling my desire for them with a simple barn door-esque update of my...
I have about a zillion project ideas whirring around in my brain at the mo', though for now I'm still sloooowly grinding through my 'To Do' list for Charlotte's bedroom. My most recently crossed-off project being this cute little table... I should probably mention...
