What better thing to do when stuck at home than have a go at laying your very own floor. I mean, what a fun little isolation project to get stuck into? Right? And surely not difficult at all? Right? In all honestly, we decided on the suite extension flooring quite a...
I touched on this project a few posts back though wanted to re-visit it because now it's totally done! And looking pretty schmick! If I do say so myself :) If you caught the past post, I shared how this newel-post-meets-half-wall was left in a bit of a mess after my...

Although I've worked on a heap of bathrooms in the past, they've always been simple refreshes, or DIY makeovers, so this is the very first time I've ever started from scratch! And it's sooooo exciting! I mean, as much as I love my basic updates, there's just something...
