Easy No-Wire Wall Lights

June 24, 2021 19 Comments

If you’re anything like me, then chasing simple and affordable lighting solutions is probably something you spend way too much time doing (I think some of my past lighting posts can attest to that). But I’m not just talking about inexpensive DIY plug-in fixtures (which, let’s face it, are very limited anyway) or make-do hacks,...…READ MORE

A Quick Master Bedroom Refresh…plus a new family member!

May 11, 2021 33 Comments

Bet I got you going there! Nope, I haven’t been secretly pregnant for the past nine months (although, it would have been a good explanation for my tardiness around here).

It’s not always easy to see the potential in things. Take this incongruous collection of second-hand planters I was gifted… At first glance it’s not the most attractive assembly of items, is it? I mean, if you were looking to create a pretty co-ordinated cluster of pots, this renegade group wouldn’t even turn your head,...…READ MORE

I know that seasonal and holiday decorating is essentially the inherent duty of any home blogger, though as I’ve admitted several times in the past, it’s just not my thing – even when it comes to the mighty crescendo that is Christmas.

I’d walked through my brother’s front door dozens of times before though for some reason, one day a few weeks back, it made me pause… …and kind of burned my eyes. I know he’s not alone in having an ugly dated facade along with no real budget and limited aptitude to undertake a complete overhaul....…READ MORE

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!   STEP 1  |  CLEAN JARS Of course, the...…READ MORE

The Dining Room is Listed!

June 26, 2018 10 Comments

There’s something exciting about listing old stuff for sale. The anticipation of an offer, the fun of playing “shop”, and the prospect of a little windfall. More than anything though is the sense of freedom which comes from purging those extraneous items, and the ensuing promise of a fresh start – for both yourself and...…READ MORE

This was such a fun-daunting-exciting-scary makeover for me!

It’s reveal time! And I’m super excited to finally share this realisation of a concept that’s been floating around in my head for a few years now. I had no idea if I was going to be able to pull this idea off though it actually worked and I’m stoked with the result. I so...…READ MORE
