And here they are!
Now, these photos are evidence that timber floors get really dusty. Really quickly. I’m talking a matter of hours, not even days. So of course I’ll need to sweep them probably every second day and mop twice a week… but you know what? I’d much rather do that than have the feral [...]
I promise I will post something more exciting tomorrow (think handmade goodies and other pretty things), but I just had to show another progress photo of my floors because oh. my. goodness. I am in love. With my dodgy DIY timber floors. They are GORGEOUS.
This photo was taken yesterday, showing the first coat of [...]
My husband is doing this:
My living room still looks like this:
My kitchen looks like this:
And the whole house is covered in a layer of this:
So maybe I’ll wait until next week to bake.
All the carpet is up, nails countersunk and staples removed! Our good friend Scott is bringing over is whizzbang sander today to show me how to use it, and I’ll give the floors a once over with that, then apply the stain. I’m hoping to be able to put one coat of estapol on today, [...]
As I’ve posted a few times before, the carpet in our house is a yukky pink/peach colour. It’s in really good condition, as I think the previous owners laid it in the 90’s, but I can’t stand it. I hate the colour, but I also just don’t like carpet very much. It holds so much [...]
As I said yesterday, today’s jobs included painting the black bookshelf, painting the wooden bookshelf, and ripping up the hallway carpets and start counter-sinking nails. Well I’ve done 2 coats of the black bookshelf, I’ll do the last coat tomorrow morning. And I managed to rip up the hallway carpet and underlay and get half [...]
Today was a very productive day for DIY projects! Early this morning I went to Bunnings and got a whole bunch of stuff I needed to do things around the house, including cupboard door knobs, brackets, dowel, a plant, rope, plastic containers, plastic shelving, a nail punch, rubber feet, a memory box frame, 2 outdoor [...]
You may have read in my earlier post about how I decided to go with an old family tradition from when I was a kid for our tree this year… well, the kitty cats decided that was a lame idea and pulled the whole tree down one day while we were at work. I figured [...]
I started my de-cluttering process a few months ago, so far it’s going well =)
I am a messy person at heart, no matter how much my mum or grandma nagged me when I was growing up, I would always leave my clothes on the floor, all my junk on the table, and never put stuff [...]
I LOVE decorating. It’s probably my favourite part of, well, anything. Parties, holidays, events… I love thinking up different ways to display things and then making it all come to life.
Which is why it’s probably a bit odd that I’m going minimalist this year with my Chrissy decorations, but I suppose this is all part [...]
