I was so determined to do this project! I needed something quick and cheap to get rid of these brown doors. It was not hard, just time consuming because I had to leave the doors off for a few days so they could dry in between coats. HOW TO (after photos) >> Here’s how ➡️ …
I just love the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing a DIY renovation project. There's nothing quite like taking a space that's in need of a little TLC and turning it into something beautiful and functional. Whether it's a simple paint job or a full room re-do, the process of bringing a space back …
Here we go again! Another bathroom renovation has started. This one is tiny! It's 900 x 2800. So you can't move in there! It had a lot of water damage (I knew this when I bought the house). So now that's it stripped back I can see where the damage is. My chippy mate will …
Renovating a house doesn’t have to be left to the pros. Of course anything licensed like electrical, plumbing, gas and waterproofing, must be done by those licensed trades. But you’d be surprised how many ways you can cut costs to your renovation by doing it yourself. Here are just some of the ways I’ve been …
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 …
You know I have been renovating like crazy for the past 12 months. This is the second house I'm doing - the one I am living in. I have just finished an Airbnb house. And yes, I'm exhausted and had enough. Ha! Who thought two houses would be a good idea!? Anyway, this entire house …
Another bathroom reno done! This one was finished at the end of January. It wasn't smooth sailing but I'm happy with how it turned out. There was asbestos so it was a full strip, clean and re-do just about everything. It cost a little more, but it actually wasn't too bad. It was under $8k …
Coloured grout is all the rage at the moment! Sorry about the quality of these photos. I took screenshots from a REELS video I did... Anyway, coloured grout is fun to use in places that need a bit of WOW, or something different. Of course, this home bar could definitely get away with something cool. …
If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen this post go of its head! I painted my concrete a couple of months ago and even though I was worried about how it would look in the end, I think the photos speak for themselves.... it's amazing! If you can paint a wall, you …
The laundry renovation is almost done. Just some paint and a new door handle. But you can see the before photos below. The very last photo is from 2018 I think, and then some of the house had been painted in 2020 before I bought this year. It wasn't pretty! This room also has …
