    What I’d Buy on Facebook Marketplace Today (If I Wasn’t Broke)

    February 2, 2019December 16, 2019

    I was a teenager the first time someone told me I had an addictive personality, and I didn’t know what it meant. “Oh!” I said brightly. “Meaning people find me addictive?” I was picturing myself as this alluring, magnetic creature. “NO,” they shot back rudely. “It just means that you get addicted to things very

    How To: DIY Beautiful Shampoo and Bathroom Bottles

    March 12, 2018March 13, 2018

    There’s nothing like stepping into your beautiful, blissful bathroom renovation, carefully designed in a minimalist colour palette of tasteful neutrals… only for your eye to be immediately drawn to the stash of colourful, garishly labelled shampoo and conditioner bottles in your shower. Am I being a little OCD? Yeah, I know it’s a first world

    Of all the cool people in Perth I've met in real l Of all the cool people in Perth I've met in real life through Instagram, @kawa_heart_studio and @8footwalls have to be two of the coolest (and nicest). Dee is a stylist,  creative and 'crazy market lady' who lets out their amazing old studio for photo shoots; her hubby Desmond is an artist and muralist under his business 8 Foot Walls. This is one of his prints which is hanging proudly in our entry now, making me happy every time I come home 🌅 This one is called Ocean Dust of Yesteryear - I'll link to their online paintings and print store in my Stories so you can see the others, they are ALL magical 🌴 Swipe for a look back in time at our entry... who would have thought that 70s arch we joyfully knocked out is back in fashion now 😆 It's funny seeing how your personal style has evolved... I no longer keep a giant cooking pot by the front door for one.

    Before and After 🏡 In lockdown last week we man Before and After 🏡 In lockdown last week we managed to tick off a DIY that had been on our to-do list for YEARS and finally painted our ugly old concrete driveway! It cost just over $400 and even though it will never look as clean as a brand new driveway it still makes me SO happy now 🤓 Little Nerd made me the sign 🤔 (Which I thought was thoughtful and fitting as painting in summer sucks? Good band name too). Thank you @jarrahjungle for the concrete painting inspo! 🖤 I've shared a blog post with all the details and links on House Nerd now!

    They are being cute right now, but I'm still count They are being cute right now, but I'm still counting down the sleeps till school starts and there are now four 😆 Swipe to see our 70s bar from when we moved in - with all the dark brown laminate and hand-me-down furniture we had then! 😅 We walled the bar in and knocked through a wall to make it a walk-in pantry from the kitchen - hubby's idea (he has one of those every now and then 😜💡)

    Can you believe this is someone's backyard... and Can you believe this is someone's backyard... and you can go buy plants there? 😄🌵🌿🪴🥰 This is a plant paradise at a home in Leeming. It's one of my recommendations when friends ask me where I go for easily accessible plants for gifts (or self-gifts 😁🎁) @novosnursery is run by a lovely family who have turned their backyard into a plant shop for anyone to pop in and browse. They have cute plants for all price points, and pots and hangers too. Also, I've found out that the cafe by the IGA across the road has great coffee - a pretty good 'me time' activity if you want to sip and stroll through succulents. They're open most weekends (at 46 Farrington Road) but they're not open every day during the week, so best to message first or look up their Facebook page for times. Not sponsored, just addicted 🌱🤩

    We finally saved up to fit out our old walk-in rob We finally saved up to fit out our old walk-in robe! 🤩 I have been dying to do this in our attempts to make the most of our available storage spaces. 11 years spent living with the old set-up so I REALLY appreciate the new... swipe to see the before 😅🙈 And then swipe to see the EXTRA-before from when we bought this house - the robe had yellow glass 70s windows, brown floral wallpaper and aromatic original shagpile carpet. After looking at a few companies I got the robe done by the wonderful @innerspacewardrobes (and I got THEIR contact details from a lovely fellow renovator Insta-friend, @twokidsatradieandme! ✨👋🏽) Innerspace are a great family-run local business and I really liked that Steve was happy to spend time on our quote measure to make sure it was perfect. Absolutely stoked with it💃🏽

    Nala turns 11 this month. 11! 😭 Which also mean Nala turns 11 this month. 11! 😭 Which also means we have been in this house 11 years. I genuinely thought back then that I'd probably renovate and decorate the whole 1970s thing in about two-three years (on my freelance writer's budget by the way 😂) and move into another. By the way Nala takes a soy flat white, no sugar.
