  • Finally styling and doing a DIY makeover of Little Miss Nerd’s nursery 👶🏻 (swipe for 'befores'). She’s nine months old, so probably about time 😅 Before we had kids, her room was my old craft room/studio (first pic - I did love it then) but since we made it her nursery (the rest of the pics) I hadn’t really done a lot to tie all the elements in her room together properly. Then @houserules asked if I'd give a pocket of our home a House Rules-inspired makeover to celebrate their new season starting this Sunday on Channel 7 📺 I was keen because for me there's nothing like a challenge (or a deadline 💥) to finally make decisions and get things done! 👩‍🔧 Being such a small, dark room with a boring view of an ugly fence, I’d never been very inspired until now. I came up with our ‘house rules’: . 💛 White + colour. 💙 Vintage + secondhand. 🧡 Add character without making it too busy. I’ve started painting this Easter weekend and I'm actually nearly all done - so excited to show you the new look soon! Sneak peeks in my Stories and Reno section of my highlights. 📸 1. @heather_robbins_photography . #sp #roomreveal #makeover #houserules #ch7 #channel7 #perthblogger #housenerd #housenerdhome #roommakeover #nursery #babyroom #kidsroom #babygirl #missnerd #interiors #kidsrooms #kidsspace #homemakeover #craftroom #studio #workspace #renovationblog #kidsdecor #kidsinspo #perthblogger #interiors123 #70shouse #kidsroomdecor

  • *new blog post* 👩‍💻 Game of Thrones and a good book on this cosy rainy night... perfect reading weather 🖤 I love it when people recommend books to me, and some of my fave books feature a house in a way that's pivotal to the storyline, or so it's almost like another character (usually the older and creepier the house, the better 😉). So on the blog I've shared my reviews on 14 great novels about houses (a few: The Woman in the Window by A.J Finn, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, The Hoarder by Jess Kidd - rest in the link in my profile). Have you read any? Any loves/loathes? Would love to hear anything you would recommend 📚 . . . . #bookreview #bookclub #bookreviews #novels #shelfie #books #dumaurier #rebecca #got #rain #blog #bookblog #booksabouthouses #reading #bookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookshelf #housenerd #housenerdhome #bookblogger #perthblog #interiorsblog
  • My little score: found a whole bunch of frangipani cuttings on the side of the road driving home. They look so good against the black cladding 🖤 Might use them in the next project we have planned, our shed corner - swipe to see. We want to spray paint the sheds Monument or black-black... I'm leaning towards a really dark, Dunsborough-ey black 😄🖤 Then crack out that old limestone and bring the lawn right up to the deck. I also want to hang festoon lights and plant frangipanis and golden cane palms along that wall. Just have to convince Mr Nerd on that part 😉 ("What is it with you and plants?") But I think a strip of lush garden there would look so much better, right? 🌴 (Any tips on spray-painting a shed - let me know!) . . . . #projects #gardenrenovation #crapshackrenos #shedmakeover #perthblog #housenerdhome #housenerd #homesblog #blackhouse #70shouse #renovating #perthhomes #frangipani #tropicalgarden #coastalinspired #perthgardens #budgetgarden #landscaping #perthblog #perthblogger #vergefind #cuttings #spraypaint #scyon #scyonwalls #monument
  • My dog's face when I leave the house for FIVE MINUTES to buy bread. Every time. I literally closed the front door 30 seconds ago 🙄 #ourneediestchild Also - new post on the blog on our home's lighting makeover with @cromptonau if you are interested! 💡🏠 . . . . #dramaqueen #alltheguilts #70shousereno #scyonwalls #claddingmakeover #homeelevation #scyonstria #dogsofig #bw #renoblog #ourhouse #blackandwhite #homereno #cladding #housenerd #crapshackreno #makeover #weatherboardhouse #70shouse #perthhouse #perthblog #perthdesign #perthproperty #homeblogger #borador #scyon #tropicalgarden #housenerdhome
  • Deck dinner party last night. We've always liked having people over, even when our house was definitely the 'Crap Shack', but man I enjoy our outdoor space SO much more now (before pic at the end for comparison!) I set up our Marson table from @earlysettlerfurniture with a big, easy grazing spread (I cannot cook with an 8-month-old koala clinging to my ankle 🐨) and had the best night with old friends, good wine and giant Connect 4 and hoopla hired from the awesome @thegardenpartyco for the kids (ok, ok, for us 😆) The baby went down, the older kids left us alone and ran themselves into the ground and it was heaven 🤗⭐🍷 . . . . #nightslikethese #deckparty #alfresco #dining #outdoors #australianhomes #girlsnight #backyardmakeover #grazingtable #graze #earlysettler #blog #blogger #garagesaletrail #blogher #perthgrub #earlysettlerfurniture #perthhomes #housenerd #housenerdhome #renovation #perthrenovations #entertaining #gardenparty #grazingboard #perthgarden #evening #bloggerstyle #crapshackreno #homesblog
