Who woulda thought an instant coffee jar wearing a belt could look so cute? Not me, if I'm honest. This was one of those experimental projects which could have gone one of two ways...epic fail or surprising success. Thankfully, it appears to have been the latter!...
After lots of indecision, uncertainty, and sanding, it's done! I questioned myself A LOT throughout this project, and it really wasn't until I pulled everything together that I realised I had actually pulled everything off! In case you've missed my previous posts...
When I mentioned to my son that I was planning on painting just the tops and bases of these chairs, I described it to him as giving them all hats and socks. I thought that was kind of cute until he went on to add that "the hats will eat the socks and then the chairs...
I'm a little ashamed to admit I started writing this post around four years ago. At the time I had just finished refreshing my parent's bedroom and was going to add some art to a remaining blank wall in the space. I decided on blue and white ceramic paintings (mum...

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...
I know it's been a long time coming, though the most protracted bathroom makeover in history is ready for its close up...or wide angle...or medium range shot...or whatever sort of photo it takes to finally get this bleeping room up on the blog! There's really no good...
I wanted a really simple Christmas tree this year. Complete with earthy tones and natural elements off-set by a delicate smattering of little white stars. However, when I couldn't find any said little white stars, I figured I'd have a go at making my own. And I'm so...
I've never had a decent Christmas tree. The year we moved into our first home, we didn't have one at all. The following year we bought the cheapest, nastiest faux tree from the supermarket...for $12...the night before Christmas. Needless to say, it wasn't the finest...
