My boys are growing up …. so I am changing their rooms around a bit.  It all has to be rather portable decor as we probably have one more house move in the very near future, for youngest’s move to highschool, before another move into the next house when it is built. Just as well... [read more...]

  A perfect little nook this morning. I don’t have the original source on file so if anyone knows, please email me, or comment, etc. I swear I would work harder, if I had this pretty little space to work in. I love the elegant curves and the beadboard (VJ’s!). Looks like it might have... [read more...]

  If I was a handywoman, I would so do this! Or more precisely, if I had a mitre saw and a drill, I would do this. It’s an Ikea unit transformed into something quite lovely. I might add this to my bucket list. I found the DIY tutorial on House and Home HERE. This beauty,... [read more...]

I am heading into surgery to have more nasties removed from my face. #communityserviceannouncement #dontsunbakeinyourteens At this stage all vanity goes... [read more...]

Just had to share some nooks from around my home yesterday, as I was showered in roses for Mother’s Day. The flower markets are just down the road, in the next suburb to us, so my boys bought big bunches of wild roses and some tulips …. which I shoved into every corner of our... [read more...]

To my boys on Mother’s Day. I want to thank you for bringing me the greatest joy in my life. It’s such a privilege to be your Mum. Thank you for being so much fun, so interesting, such great company and such wonderful people. I cherish every day I spend with you on our journey... [read more...]

If you showed me samples of the floor, wall and shower tiles … and shower/vanity marble…. before you showed me this room, I would have guessed that so many patterns wouldn’t have all worked together so well.
