The 2010/11 Summer projects have begun!

By Mikaela ⋅ January 7, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

So, the neutral (cream) walls of our house, that were absolutely one of the things that sold the house to me 2 and half years ago (what can I say, I’m an aesthetics kind of girl, not very logical or sensible when buying a house but there you go), are now just yellow and they [...]

Entry Interior Design – finished

By Mikaela ⋅ July 19, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Well, almost finished… nothing is ever “done” around here! A few days ago I realised I hadn’t posted an update on our entry hall room thinger after I first posted about it and we did the floors. So here it is! Live Love Laugh wall hangings were a wedding present, they’re available from home wares [...]

Another floors update!

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 [...]

Preparing to stain and polish our floorboards

By Mikaela ⋅ January 10, 2010 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

Decorating my house for Christmas

By Mikaela ⋅ December 1, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

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 [...]

Entry interior design

On Friday I went up to Sydney with some girlfriends to see Britney Spears for JA’s sister’s birthday. Verdict: Going to a show when she was in her prime probably would have been amazing. I’m not really a fan, but I figured it would be a good show with pretty lights… which it was. The [...]

Hello!

I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and busy (mostly by choice, I suck at relaxing). I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). I'm a freelance designer, high school & uni teacher, and I'm working towards my dream house one DIY at a time, along with numerous other side-ventures... For more about me, go to the about page =)
