May your home rise up to meet you
I love writing and I love blogging. One of the best things about blogging is the freedom I have in writing about things I love, and things I think others will love too. Since becoming a mum earlier this year, many things have surprised me. One of the big ones has been how ingrained a […]

Hi friends, Boy, a lot has happened since I last blogged about our main bedroom. The last post shows photos of the gyprock being installed, but since then our main bedroom has been completed!

Hi peeps, I have recovered from my mini break-down of last week, and am back on track! In my last post I shared pics of the main bathroom and promised a follow-up post showing you the tiles. Well, here it is! You may recall from earlier blog posts, that we wanted this bathroom to have […]

I would like to start this post by saying a massive thank you to my little boy, Jack. Although he can’t read QUITE yet, I want to publicly acknowledge his awesomeness at sleeping in the car. Since we are living with my folks, we are a 45 minute drive away from our Balmain house. Which […]
