Devil's ivy, also called golden pothos, is a tropical, evergreen vine which can be grown indoors as a hardy, carefree plant in any zone. I have a very big healthy one already, and I decided I'd like to make another one. Instead of buying a new plant, I thought I'd propagate from the existing one! This …
I've added a few feature walls to my house recently. I've done a lounge room, laundry and bedroom. I am on the hunt now for a few new options - I have 2 more kids' rooms to do. I went looking on Pinterest for some inspiration and thought I'd share them here below... I'm in …
I've been wanting to update my boys' rooms for a while and finally we started one of them. This room wasn't bad, it was just due for a change! Tex is 15 so he was ready for something new. My eldest boy is 18 and is in his 2nd year as a carpenter, so he …
I don't have a black fence, but I'd love one. I went looking around on Pinterest for some cool ideas and these are just gorgeous. Black just floats away in the background so if you can't decide on which colour fence you should have, then just go black! You won't be sorry. It looks amazing …
Thanks for stopping by today! Recently I partnered with Kaboodle Kitchen to design some overhead cupboards for my laundry. I knew exactly how I wanted it to look and I knew this would be a reasonably easy DIY project my husband and I could tackle. I have been in my house for 5 years and …
It's school holidays and I have a child who is always busting to 'build something' (hence wanting to be a builder!). Sooooo I was a bit sick of my current coffee table and thought we could whip up a new one. My husband has an endless supply of pallets at his work. If you get …
I wanted a fake hanging plant, but they are so expensive (well I think they are!). So of course I decided to come up with my own idea... My son has always had a real hanging plant in his bedroom (you'll see below), but he's had about 3 lately as they just don't love it …
I'd been wanting to fancy up this feature wall for a while but there are never enough hours in the day! Last weekend I finally got one of my kids to make this wall for me. He's just about to head in to his second year as a carpenter apprentice, so this was an easy …
When you've got a lot of decorating to do in your house, the easiest room to start with is the bedroom! I work with Kellie and she moved in to her new house about 18 months ago and wanted me to help her get some decorating finished. This room had good bones already. It's light …
I did this project a while ago and thought I'd share it again. It was super easy and has made a big difference to how I use this room. Shamefully it was a huge mess (and mostly still is!). It’s a walk-in storage room off my laundry. During Winter it becomes a massive disaster. I …
If you've been hanging around on my blog for a while you'll know that I am quite obsessed with succulents and growing them. My girlfriend gave me a few from her garden a while ago and since then I have been moving and spreading them around. You can see from below they just keep growing …
Is your dining table looking a little tired? I see so many tables for sale on our local buy, swap, sell pages that have good bones and a good shape, they just need a serious sand (to rid themselves of that orange stain) or a paint job. Or even better, sand the top, add a …
