The Nursery Reveal!

Before Charlotte actually out-grows her cot I thought I'd better finish off her room! Well, for that reason and also cause it's about time I finally shared it on my blog! Of course it would have been completed four months ago, before she actually arrived in the world,...

Budget Living Room Makeover

Budget Living Room Makeover

Recently, I took up the creative challenge to help my Mum make-over her sitting room on a non-existent (and I mean 'zero dollar') budget. Course we did have a little more than zero dollars though we just wanted to see what we could come up with. Here's the space...
