Almost effortless entertaining ✌🏽 .

    Help me pick a paint colour please? School holiday Help me pick a paint colour please? School holidays have shrivelled my brain, I am now a husk without any gut instincts of my own 💀 I've had refreshing our entry on my to do list for a long time and have finally narrowed it down to these two beautiful (but very different 😅) colours from the Dulux Colour Forecast 2022 'Wonder' palette 🎨 The deep yellow is 'Sandpaper' and the blue is 'Edvard'. I've been itching to paint something yellow for AGES but not sure if the blue goes with the rest of my house better/is more us? (And would it look weird painting the ceiling the same colour?) Give me thoughts 🙏🏽💛💙 . #housenerd #housenerdhome #dulux #edvard #sandpaper #duluxcolourforecast2022 #schoolholidays #paintdecisions #helpmepick #interiorblogger #DIYblog #DIYblog #interiordesign #perthinteriors #perthcreatives #perthblog #homeswithheart #designdecisions #colourpalettes #entry

    There's little I like more than culling the kids s There's little I like more than culling the kids stuff while they're out or asleep 😉 Recently we’ve been doing some serious home decluttering and have been selling things online. This is a bit embarrassing, but years ago, I would never have even attempted selling stuff online. I have always decluttered, but put selling in the ‘too hard’ or ‘takes too long’ basket. I wish I’d discovered earlier how easy it can be – not to mention the feeling of satisfaction and ‘lightness’ you get from making spare cash from clutter you no longer need! 🤩💃🏽 . Because I’m a nerd who likes giving myself challenges to make things more fun, I’m seeing if we can make $5000 selling unwanted stuff - and we’re more than halfway there! 🤓 💵 I’ve sold a mid-century buffet, baby change table, a painting, our gas heater, old Roomba, my running pram (that coincidentally went to a House Nerd follower 😊) books, kids shoes, some puzzles that were lockdown evening saviours, and my fave thing to see go – kids toys! 😜 Even three of my dresses 👗 I’ve bought preloved clothes through @ebayau for more than ten years, but had no idea just how easy it was to sell them. (Did you know Country Road is the most searched-for clothing brand on eBay? That’s half my wardrobe!) . @ebayau now makes it even easier to sell your pre-loved things online reusing bags or boxes you already have – no need to go to the post office! eBay’s partnership with Sendle means you can have parcels safely picked up from your doorstep for no extra cost. You can list up to 40 items for free every month to their 12 million active shoppers – when the item sells, eBay charge a small fee based on the final price. Sendle is also Australia's first shipping company to become 100% carbon neutral. Do you sell unwanted stuff online? What have you sold? #ad #eBay #partner #sponsored #brandedcontent #housenerd #tidyingup #decluttering #culling #homeorganisation #declutteringideas #reducingwaste #reducewaste #homesblog #reducereuserecycle #the1000dollarproject
    A lot of time spent in our yard here lately....and A lot of time spent in our yard here lately....and, I have to show you guys the latest $16 buy I found at @kmartaus that made me soo happy 🤓🌈 Finally, @crayola_anz are selling their Colours of the World textas in Australia - 24 textas meant to represent all kinds of skin colours 🥰 As a mixed race, art-loving kid, who NEVER had an accurate texta for her skin colour, honestly, receiving this box would have made little me over the moon 😊💃🏽 I grew up the only kid with hearing aids in my school, living in a predominantly white suburb - and I think when you're already a super-awkward kid, sometimes anything that reminds you of your differences makes you feel even more of a sore thumb (thank you, the teachers who constantly pointed it out 🙄) And yes, I think even the little things count, like when you're drawing with your friends. As a parent, I realised I still had a bit of a bugbear about it when my son (then 5yo) once said, "Pass the skin colour texta". It was so innocent - of course! He's a kid - there are even paints marketed these days as "skin colour" 😐 - but I felt like.... this is not how I want my kids to automatically think. I discovered these textas online a year ago, but didn't want to pay the exorbitant shipping from the States! When I showed Little Nerd this box after finding it locally (a year later) he understood right away. "Mummy, you're excited because now we can find the perfect texta for your skin!" 💛 And yep, now we can accurately draw everyone in our very, very mixed family 👩🏽🧑🏻👨🏿👱🏻‍♀️👧👩🏼👴🏾 #housenerd #backyard #drawing #artwithkids #kidsart #crayolas #coloursoftheworld #diversity #representation #mixedrace #backyardart #perthparents #housenerdhome
