DIY No Sew Rolled Window Valance

DIY No Sew Rolled Window Valance

In our newly appointed home office space (which is almost finished and soon to be shared!) there's a floor to ceiling double sliding windowed door (as briefly blogged about here). The natural light it affords the space is lovely. The blinding summer sun and frosty...

Living Room Mini Makeover and Photo Shoot

Living Room Mini Makeover and Photo Shoot

As briefly mentioned in my last post, recently I spent a few days hurrying around the house replacing most of Charlotte's strewn toys with pretty décor accents instead to shoot some of my rooms for inclusion in an upcoming blogger design book! I loved having the...

Chair Revamp with Metal Seat Plates

Chair Revamp with Metal Seat Plates

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...

Spray Paint Door Hardware Update

Spray Paint Door Hardware Update

Hey all! Just chiming in with an easy, non-earth shattering, little spray paint project... As with our two built-in robes (one in the master bedroom and one in the nursery) which were originally fitted with ugly beige metal tracks and surrounds, we also have...

Home Office Cabinet Progress

Home Office Cabinet Progress

I know I originally said I wasn't going to refer to my new computer area as a 'home office' though it's just the most self-explanatory title, so home office it is. You may remember I was in a bit of a pickle over finding some appropriate cabinetry. The restrictive...

A New Room Redo

A New Room Redo

Suffice to say it was a fair exchange, though for us, gaining Charlotte meant losing our "computer room". I know calling it a "home office" or "study" would sound more official, though with the majority of time spent in there going toward online shopping, e-stalking...

Living Room Update

Living Room Update

Beside delegation, the key to good time management is prioritisation, right? So, amongst caring for a seven month old, running a household, working on furniture revivals and design consultations and pretending to be a web developer, what's another important task?...

Sliding Wardrobe Door Update

Sliding Wardrobe Door Update

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you probably remember this simple robe door makeover from about a year ago....     When I re-decorated my master bedroom, I simply painted the ugly beige metal surround with enamel spray paint to create a more...
