Ever since painting my Chippendale desk chair....by hand...with a brush...over the course of several hours...a paint sprayer has been high on my 'to buy' list. Some of you may recall I have sprayed furniture in the past using our air compressor, though that big,...
I last shared pics of my master bedroom over three and a half years ago. Not that I think there's anything wrong with that. In fact, there's actually lots that's very right about it. You see, when I did share those pics, I also mentioned that creating spaces with a...
UPDATE I have created two more free large-scale downloads of birds to accompany this heron. Find them here and here. After publishing the post about my DIY large-scale art a few weeks back, I received quite a few requests for a free printable version of my edited...
Yes, I'm aware there's a partially complete room re-do I should probably be focusing my attention on, though I thought it might be fun to throw this surprise one in the mix (don't question my logic :) As a massive bonus, this one is actually finished (and only took me...
This space is really getting there now! Over the last few weeks we've been chipping away at the diminishing 'to do' list. There are still a few projects to cross off though we have acquired pretty much everything we need! So here's where we're at... If you need to...

At the risk of coming across as someone slightly obsessed with mini drawers, here's another little drawer hack. My mum actually picked up this small drawer set for $12 from Kmart a few weeks back. She mentioned she was planning on doing 'something' with it, then I...
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. I 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...
