Instagram is getting very competitive and a good looking feed really counts! I am no expert at this and I take pretty basic photos, but a fancy "preset" (or filter) over the top can really transform your feed. I can't add a photo to Instagram without one now. They are addictive! I've discovered a lot …
The power of paint hey? As they say! What a difference. I still have lots to do with this little house but the biggest change was turning everything from brown to white just with paint. No special skills needed. I spray painted bricks, painted window frames, the door, eaves and even the roof. Lots more …
A change of season, a new home, or just tired of the same old look? If you're like me, you take any chance to freshen and liven things up in your home. But I am always working on a budget. I need things to be affordable and easy to achieve because I know I'll be …

If you want cheap art for your walls, or even to create a gallery wall, then digital downloads are the go! Etsy has piles and piles of them. You can choose photography prints like landscapes of the beach, desert, building, plants. Or even abstract paintings. I have done this so many times. For me at …
You bought a digital download and you'd like to use it for artwork, but need to re-size it to suit your frame? (Note - a lot of Etsy digital prints already come in a variety of standard sizes, but sometimes you have a frame and the print just doesn't work) Here's some easy steps for …
It's been a wild 18 months. If you follow along often you'll know that I've had some big changes... anyway, that's not what I'm here for today because I wanted to give you an update on where I'm at with the renovations! Early this year I finished a reno on a little house that I …
If you follow me on Instagram you'll know I claimed I'd easily get a FULL kitchen reno done for $8,000. That's a complete strip and new (budget) appliances for a little house I have. I'm on track and it's almost done! It's been a long couple of months. So much DIY and things just take …
I don't think I can properly convey to you the stress and drama of filling in this pool. It was cracked, non-compliant and not able to be fixed upon buying the house. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but not the worst (but indeed it WAS the worst!). I underestimated so many …

I'm always on the hunt for decorating ideas that won't break the bank. There's nothing better than a quick change around of a room, or a new vase, cushion, plant to spruce up an area. I love paint too, so I am always happy to throw that around on walls and furniture! Today I have …
