I've been in love with beautiful block printed textiles for ages now. I don't know what started my slight obsession (let's just blame Pinterest) though despite my adoration, up until a month or so ago, I didn't actually own anything block printed (let's just blame...
If you follow me socially, you may recall seeing a little snippet of this "marble" project already... Could you guess what I was making? Well, in all fairness, my use as a fireplace hearth is rather obscure and it could have been almost anything. From a tabletop, to a...
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...
Some of you may not know that when I started this blog, I was up-cycling and on-selling A LOT of furniture. It was a hobby. My second job of sorts. And I LOVED it. Though with the growth of my blog, and, more pertinently, the emergence of my little family, came the...

In keeping with my completely, absolutely, totally not weird obsession with budget-friendly wall art I wanted to share a really cool and easy way to create your very own custom 'paintings'. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the concept of digitally turning photos...
A few months back my mum mentioned she was looking for a new bedside lamp to grace the guest room at her beach house. Well, actually, that's not entirely accurate. When I say "looking for" I really mean "dreaming up", and when I say "new" I really mean "not new at...
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...
