The 2010/11 Summer projects have begun!

By ⋅ 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 [...]

House extension plans!

By ⋅ November 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since going around to open houses last weekend with Chloé (as moral support) and getting some ideas, I’ve been getting a bit excited and playing in Google Sketchup with ideas for our extension/renovation plans. This won’t be happening for awhile yet (need to wait til there’s more equity in the house) but I like to [...]

Home office makeover – sneak peek

By ⋅ September 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The home office makeover is definitely underway… I was going to start this post with “The home office makeover is *almost* finished” but that would have been a big lie. It seems like it should be almost finished, but in reality there’s many things still to be done! I did put up the new panel [...]

Home Office Makeover – the “before”

By ⋅ July 5, 2010 ⋅ 7 comments

I am bad at maths. This is my disclaimer. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting a tad excited about planning our home extension, adding to our 2 bed, 1 study, 1 bathroom home: a new 2nd storey master bedroom with en suite + home office. I calculated that we would be able [...]

Laundry Update

By ⋅ June 20, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I broke my promise. In my last post mentioning my laundry makeover, I promised I wouldn’t spend over $100. I blame Bunnings. Legitimately! I had everything in my shopping trolley, and it all added up to $85. That gave me $15 to purchase the mat for the floor, and it would be $100 even, and [...]

What a productive long weekend!

By ⋅ June 14, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

This June long weekend came as welcome surprise to me, and I’m very happy to say I did lots of relaxing but also lots of little projects too! Firstly, just a couple of jobs around the house I’ve been meaning to do for a long time… The floating shelves in our bedroom were totally wonky [...]

Weekend Plans

This weekend while JA is playing soccer I’ll be attending Heidi‘s 1st Birthday! She is such a little cutie, I can’t wait =) Sunday is going to be my “work” day. Apart from about a gazillion loads of washing that need doing, I’d really like to knock over a couple of the following: Do 2nd [...]

Impromptu DIY paint job

By ⋅ April 25, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I finished painting the front trellis the other day, and decided to then paint the front door… Many of my DIY projects are started on a whim, so I don’t always have good (if any) “before photos”. For this one I’ve used a crop of a really old photo of the front of the house, [...]

Half completed projects

By ⋅ March 10, 2010 ⋅ One comment

I’ve been a busy little beaver recently! Lots going on, but nothing quite finished enough to dedicate a post to, so here’s the wrap up: Last weekend we went to the coast with my parents, which was really great, it was raining and miserable in Canberra but absolutely gorgeous at Jervis Bay. We went to [...]

DIY TV Cabinet makeover

By ⋅ February 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I really liked our TV cabinet, except for the colour, and the fact there were no doors. Well, it had one glass door, the other our kitty cat bella managed to smash into pieces when she was running around like a crazy person one day. Suffice to say, things got dusty, and looked cluttered. Instead [...]
