Don't get me wrong, I love the fact I get to call Australia home, though a word of warning to anyone thinking of moving here (particularly if you're a home DIY-aholic accustomed to a seemingly endless array of affordable and easily attainable supplies). Sure, we might...
I know repurposed light shades aren't exactly a new idea though I did kinda just make this one up as I went along. I really wanted a hanging pendant in the nursery though the ceiling is just too low so I instead opted to transform a standard batten fix (flush mount)...
Firstly, thanks so much to everyone for all the baby well wishes - you guys are just too sweet :-) Now, on to some decorating stuff!!! I wanted to finally share the little face-lift I gave my master bedroom built-in robe. Remember how a little while ago I put out an...
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...

If you've read this blog more than just once you probably know I have a bit of a thing for using natural elements to decorate my home, and for a budget-savvy gal like me, there's no better way of introducing this textural earthiness to a space than via a...
Firstly, thanks so much to everyone for the lovely comments about my map cabinet makeover. I was seriously surprised and overwhelmed - you guys are just the best. There was a lot of interest in the compass knobs I created and some of you wanted to see a more in-depth...
