It is a chilly, gardening for hours, dog-walking, pick up fish and chips in your PJs and ugg boots kind of evening 🍂🌫️🌧️ 🤗 Also, you know those little kids that have those disturbingly devious, 'I am up to no good' grins.... I have one of those this time round 😵😅 Our first born was an ANGEL in comparison to his sister 😑 New plants courtesy verge pickup 🤗🌱

I doinged my neck the other day (yes, doinged is totally a word here) and haven't done too many house things lately... it made me me feel so uncreative and a little cranky 😤 But I did manage a very easy DIY and gave these old pots a lick of paint from @somethingpaintedau 👩🏽‍🎨 They are a great local Perth small business that make chalky-finish furniture paint that's suitable for most surfaces, and they have such pretty colours (this is the Country Grey 🌈) Now they're waiting here for the storm or for Miss Nerd to 'accidentally-on-purpose' smash her bike into them again 🤨 (see exhibit 2 - yay for Gorilla glue) #destructochild .

I've been a good mum this year so I get my Mother'

I've been a good mum this year so I get my Mother's Day present early 😁🤗 thank you @fenton_and_fenton for brightening up our entry in this dark rainy weather (must confess I do love this change of weather though!) This is their beautiful Naxos pot and I love it 💛 Still deciding what plant looks best here - the ficus elastica or the dracena? Or should I go buy another plant full stop? Probably 🤔🌱🌴 I can already hear my hubby screaming.

The crazy stone paving here was one of my first DIYs in this house and it was so. much. fun. An expert would have definitely done a less dodgy job, but I enjoyed the process... and it was easy, affordable and only took a day. We bought some stone, I smashed it up with a hammer (FUN 🔨💪🏽) then glued them onto the shiny orange 70s tile beneath and grouted. Wish I had a proper before photo to show you but this was in the days before blogs 😆 Some people told me cos it was tile on tile it would probably crack but it hasn't... it's rock-solid (sorry🗿)

WIN ✨🧼 a @murphyanddaughters Prize Pack ✨I've been to the shops so many times lately to find the soap shelves bare. They're filling up slowly again, but to me, coronavirus or not, there's always been something about a delicious-smelling new soap that makes it feel like a little luxury ✨ In a time when we should be washing our hands more than ever, the lovely people at @murphyanddaughters are giving one of their Luxe Handwashing Packs valued at $65 to one lucky house nerd. Each pack consists of their Hand and Body Wash and three bars of their triple milled goat's milk soap with creamy shea butter 😍 I love these - they smell divine, have the prettiest packaging (there's a green + blue kind too) are made in Melbourne, and are free of parabens and sulfates. (And the packs make beautiful gift ideas for Mother's Day!) To enter all you have to do is be following @murphyanddaughters and @housenerd, and tag friends for entries 💛 One friend, one additional entry, five friends five extra entries and so on. Good luck 😊

Here it is - our 70s fireplace before and after! 🔥 Midway through this DIY I had my doubts but luckily I'm happy with how this turned out 😅It was my first go stencilling. At first (once I got the hang of it, it's not as easy as I thought it would be!) I was like, "I can stencil forever! It's so calming and addictive! 🤩🌈🦄🌞 and then after a while I was like, "Oh my god.... what was I thinking.... am I insane 😵👹💀". Glad to report I love it now... although I could probably pay my chiro's HECS debt after doing those far crevices 🤪 I used a custom-sized stencil from @dizzy_duck_designs and @anniesloanhome chalk paint which you can use on tile without needing to prime. I probably got a bit carried away styling the mantle afterward but it was so satisfying living out my hygge daydreams 🌱 I still have to seal the tile and I'm also thinking about painting the floor tile - it doesn't look terrible but maybe charcoal would look better? Tell me if you would paint the floor tile or leave it 🖤
