DAY 28 of my reno tips ➡️ Spray Gun

One of my first ever purchases was the spray gun. Go to my highlights to see more. It’s paid for itself over and over again. I’ve done fences, bricks, walls, kitchens, doors… If you’re thinking of renovating make sure you have the right tools and equipment before you start. I promise you it’ll save you so much time and money in the long run. I could never have imagined painting 2 houses inside and out without a spray gun! #diy #30daysofrenotips

DAY 27 of my reno tips ➡️ Tiling

Here are five common errors to steer clear of:
1. Not sticking to an overall theme: Choose a consistent style or theme for your bathroom and let it guide your tiling decisions. Tiles play a crucial role in the visual appeal of the space, so select them wisely as they are not easily changed.
2. Not buying enough tiles: Always order 15% more tiles than you actually need. This accounts for cutting, breakages, and waste. It is better to have extra tiles that can be stored for future replacements rather than running out of tiles mid-project.
3. Using too many feature tiles: Opt for a single feature tile in the bathroom, either on the floor or on a wall. If you choose two, ensure the second feature tile is smaller or limited to specific areas like niches or splash backs. Too many feature tiles can create a cluttered and visually overwhelming space.
4. Underestimating tile size: Consider the overall space and layout of your bathroom before choosing tile sizes. Large tiles may not work well in corners or narrow areas, resulting in odd cuts and an unbalanced appearance. Seek recommendations from your tiler or supplier to find the right tile size for your specific space.
5. Not considering ongoing maintenance and cleaning: Think about the maintenance requirements of the tiled surfaces. More grout lines mean more areas prone to mould and mildew. Grout is porous and requires regular cleaning to prevent discoloration from mould growth. If you prefer low-maintenance options, choose tiles with minimal grout lines. Reserve smaller tiles for niche areas and use larger tiles for larger surface areas to strike a balance.

I have this very long Devil’s Ivy plant and the vine just hangs in the way. I try to tuck it behind the concrete sink. But recently I was sent this handy value pack of 3M Command Hooks and decided to use those to keep the plant tamed. It loves the sun here, so it keeps growing.

STEPS >>
🍃 Clean the surface properly first. A small amount of rubbing alcohol works best.
🍃 Remove the black liner and press, then remove the red liner and press the hook firmly on for 30 seconds.
🍃 Wait an hour before use.
🍃 Make sure you follow the instructions on the backside of the package.

Head to @bunnings and purchase the 3M Command Hanging value pack. Sponsored by @commandanz

🛌 Turning DIY dreams into reality! I took on the challenge of crafting a stunning curved bedhead from MDF, and I must say, it's truly a work of art. But before its grand debut, there was one crucial step remaining: finding the perfect colour to bring this masterpiece to life. With excitement and determination, I made my way to Bunnings, a treasure trove of inspiration, where I discovered an incredible range of Porter's Paints.
What sets Porter's Paints apart is their ability to go beyond mere aesthetics. Their colours have the power to transform not just the look, but the very essence of a room. They evoke emotions, create ambiance, and set the tone for unforgettable spaces. I knew I had to choose wisely, and for my teenage boy's new haven, nothing could beat the timeless allure of black (Aniseed in fact!).
But it's not just about the colour. Porter's Paints offer superior coverage, boasting a unique Aqua Satin sheen that delivers a perfect subtle matte finish. Whether you're revamping your interiors or giving your exteriors a fresh makeover, these washable paints, with their very low odour, are a joy to work with. And with the convenience of pre-tinted options, I was ready to embark on my painting journey without delay.

DAY 25 of my reno tips ➡️ Looking for White Pa

DAY 25 of my reno tips ➡️ Looking for White Paint?

I’ve got some tips for you!

The first thing you will need to decide on is whether you’re after a COOL white or a WARM white. Once you decide which is your preference you can start to limit your choices.

• COOL WHITE
Cool whites are colours that have a blue, grey or green undertone. Cool colours work well in more modern homes. Usually rooms which are filled in natural light can benefit from a cool white. They offer a crisp, sleek and elegant look.
- Crisp White Taubmans (my pick)
- Lexicon Dulux
- Vivid White Dulux
- Manhattan Snow Wattyl

* WARM WHITES
Warm whites are colours with yellow, red and brown undertones. They are cosy and inviting more suited to traditional styling.
- Whisper White Dulux
- Linen White Wattyl
- Antique White USA Dulux
- Natural White Dulux (my pick)

Tell me what your favourite white is?

(Also DM me the word ‘download’ for a free guide on what paint goes where!)
