Home Office Makeover {before & after}

By ⋅ January 16, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

My main aims for my Home Office were to reduce the clutter and update the early 90′s colour scheme (the pink carpet continues to hurt my brain). Here is my pretty Office, almost finished: Considering the “before”, I’m pretty happy! A little list of still-to-do’s: Second coat of enamel on trims Paint door glossy white [...]

Sneak Peek #2 {home office}

By ⋅ January 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been a bit quiet here over the past couple of days, besides watching the news a lot and feeling anxious about the situation in Queensland (and now NSW and Victoria) I have been working hard on finishing my home office makeover (finally!), as well as working on some freelance design work for DanversCreative.com. Just [...]

DIY Vintage Mirror Repair & Makeover

By ⋅ January 2, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

My Nandy gave me a decorative gold framed oval mirror almost 10 years ago, and at my 18th Birthday party (8 years ago) it got knocked off my wall and the frame broke into 4 pieces. It has been broken ever since… until today =) Luckily when it fell from the wall the mirror stayed [...]

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 [...]

DIY Chalkboard Makeover

By ⋅ August 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I picked up this old easel/chalkboard at Aussie Junk in Mitchell a few weeks ago along with a few other trays and things for a whopping $15. There were some masonite boards screwed to the front and back, and I was planning to use it as a stand for my market signage. But beneath them [...]

Entry Interior Design – finished

By ⋅ 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 [...]

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 [...]

Makes me happy

By ⋅ May 27, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

What makes me happy? An organised space to complete a DIY project. Which is NOT what I have at the moment… I really need to get cracking on getting things sorted around here. Because I have a new makeover project to do, which is going to be really fun*, but I want to get some [...]

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, [...]
