    My Husband’s Big Deck: Our Backyard Before & After

    November 15, 2019February 7, 2020

    Well, that got your attention, didn’t it? Blame my shrunken, shriveled brain, but somehow I have totally neglected to share a big part of our home renovation here on the blog – our new patio and deck, which is about thirty times nicer than what what our once-daggy 70s house had there before. (Those before

    Little Nerd announced this morning that they were Little Nerd announced this morning that they were going to go bird watching from the cubby. Would like to report they were quietly engaged by this wholesome activity for hours, but really five minutes later he announced bird watching was hard work cos there were no birds πŸ™„ I wonder how old they will be when they eventually outgrow playing in the cubby. That will be the day I hack it into a chicken house πŸ”πŸ“πŸ£ But for now they still love it, even though these birds are not cooperating. Maybe Miss Nerd's shirt is scaring them all away? These are not their Instagram clothes. These are their iso clothes πŸ€ͺ . . . #housenerd #cubbyhouse #birdwatching #socialdistancing #kidzshackcubbies #athome #isoclothes #cubbyhousehack #backyard #kidsinperth #stayinghome #homesblog #renoblog #DIYblog #alonetogether #housenerdhome #perthgarden
    Times like these, it's nice to see so many people Times like these, it's nice to see so many people still trying to support their local small businesses πŸ’› We did our bit today by getting bread from our favourite baker and gorging on their cinnamon scrolls, then stuffing ourselves with fish and chips from our local chi for dinner (I know, we're selfless like that 😌😜 This weekend I had planned to go to the awesome annual @perthupmarket at UWA, but the market has been cancelled. However, the amazing creatives and businesses taking part have quickly pulled together an alternative - an online Upmarket with lots of goodies, free gifts and discount codes (check out their page). So now you don't even have to live in Perth to be a part of it, and you don't have to wear pants πŸ‘– I'm hoping to score a satchel or bag from @bahruleather for my mum's birthday next week - I love my Bahru mini Florence. It starts tm (Sat 21) at 9am and you know where I'll be, leisurely browsing gift ideas, sipping a coffee or two ✨ Pffft, most likely I'll be hiding from the kids in the pantry on my phone, wishing I'd memorised my card number 😐 . . . #housenerd #upmarket #perthupmarket #deck #online #shoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #smallbiz #smallbusiness #bahruleather #perthevents #coronavirus #market #alonetogether #flattenthecurve #perthcreatives #perthdesigners #cityofperth #lockdown #socialdistancing #perthblog #perthmakers #virtualupmarket #virtual
    If you feel like reading something that's not abou If you feel like reading something that's not about coronavirus, the lovely people from @earlysettlerfurniture just wrote a very nice story about me on their blog πŸ˜† I like that I am totally a geek, but hey here I am described as 'cool' πŸ€“ 😎🀘🏽Link in my bio if you'd like to read. Also, Early Settler are currently offering free shipping to a ton of postcodes (as if you need any extra incentive to do a little online shopping and home decorating right now ☺️) I get so many questions about our couch and our white sideboard and they are both ES. They look great but they're not as expensive as other brands and practical. Love them both and the sofa has held up well to Nala and the kids and their savage, daily abuse. . . . #housenerd #earlysettler #housenerdhome #gifted #livingroom #homebeautiful #netflixandchill #houseandhome #stayin #inmydomaine #interiorstyling #hygge #coronavirus #hyggeathome #leathercouch #stylingwithkids #plantdecor
    Thank you for all your very nice comments on Littl Thank you for all your very nice comments on Little Nerd's budget mini room makeover yesterday! πŸ˜ŠπŸ’™ It's really simple but it suits him (not saying he's simple πŸ˜†) and he's so proud of having trimmed and painted it with me. A few more pics here - as you can see it really is small (2.8m x 2.8m - 70s houses! No double bed when he's a teenager! πŸ˜…) We've always had that bookcase in here, it makes the most of the space and was from @potterybarnaus. The old printer's tray I bought long before he was born ago from the markets (I'd always wanted one) now it homes his Lego people. The old school desk I've had since I was a teen and the chair was $5. Other things were gifts given to us when he was born. Also, off topic, but totally just noticed that he's inherited my inwards-pointing elbows πŸ€” #luckylucky . . . . #housenerd #housenerdhome #kidsroom #boysroom #roomreveal #roommakeover #bluewalls #budgetstyling #budgetinteriors #showmeyourstyled #homebeautiful #realhomes #reallifestyle #paintmakeover #peepmypad #bedroomstyling #bedhead #bedside
    It took Little Nerd and I almost a good week, work It took Little Nerd and I almost a good week, working on it when his sister was napping or in bed, but we finally finished giving his room a little makeover! πŸŽ¨πŸ‘¨πŸ½β€πŸŽ¨πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŽ¨ He's been asking for blue walls for ages and we're both absolutely stoked with how it turned out πŸ’™ Love how paint can make such a difference for not too much $$. We're thrifters... his bedside was $5 from the markets, given a lick of @anniesloanhome Svenska Blue (picture frame too). His bed is part of my old bunk bed from when I was a kid πŸ™ˆ The cane bedhead you might remember I found on the side of the road a while back. I was always going to paint it, but now strangely enough I kind of think the orange-y pine works against the blue?!

    I bought this painting for myself after drooling o I bought this painting for myself after drooling over it for ages πŸ™ˆ It still makes me happy every time I see it... thank you @gaildellart ✨ Wanted to share it today as Gail is having an exhibition tomorrow evening in City Beach with nine other awesome female artists called Just 10, and it looks so good! It's casual and family friendly too. Check out her feed for more details. Casual sounds good to me after we went to a kiddies birthday party this morning. (Anyone else always feel like they could fall asleep after a kids party? πŸ₯΄β˜ οΈ) . . . #housnerd #housenerdhome #artathome #australianlandscape #art #abstractlandscape #abstract #oilpainting #femaleartists #canvas #artist #australianart #birthdayparties #gaildellart #homesblogger #renoblog #styled #interiorsblog #artist #female #femaleartist #perthart
