I actually completed this chair months ago (some of you may even remember I posted a sneak peek on Facebook) and have just been waiting for some spare time to sit down and write the tutorial and share it already. It's a sweet little chair for Charlotte's room (yes, I...
This was such a rewarding project. If you're not new here, you're probably aware of my involvement in the Re-Love Project and what it's all about. For those of you who don't know, in short it's a Feast Watson campaign in collaboration with Salvos Stores which sees...
Flat-Pack. Knock-Down. Ready-To-Assemble. Whatever you wanna call it, there's no denying the practicality, affordability, versatility and accessibility of this very basic form of 'boxed' furniture. Unfortunately though, often times there's also no denying the generic,...
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...

Some of you may 'member that back in early December I shared a mini makeover of my living room and as part of that little re-do I included a new side table in the form of a ceramic drum stool. The stool was originally black (which is, of course, a perfectly fine...
One day I'm sure I'll attempt a proper BIG upholstery project. Ya know...an armchair, a settee, a sofa. I mean, really, with a piece of cheap second-hand furniture and some bargain fabric there's really not too much to lose (possibly bar my sanity) though for now I...
Phew, it has been a busy few weeks around here! Aside from all the regular hoo-hah, I spent a few whirlwind days updating, cleaning, styling and shooting a few of my rooms for inclusion in an upcoming home blogger's book! I don't want to say too much yet, just in case...
