We were renters for many years, and I know how challenging it can be, especially if you’re a serial DIYer like me.

It’s no secret that our house is way too small for us. Since both our children ended up back living with us, we have had to get two portable cabins to house everyone.

Happy weekend my friend! Red in the morning, shepherd’s warning! I woke up this morning to this beautiful sky so I couldn’t help but share it with you.

Sometimes we need privacy but still need light! That’s was the case with our front door (and our back door).

Happy weekend my friend! It’s been a crazy few weeks which is why last weekend I didn’t post a weekly roundup. Instead, I revealed my newly renovated front porch.

Everyone who has visited us lately has commented on our great new front door. Last week I shared our front porch makeover.

This post has been a long time coming – not that it’s taken us a long time to do the project, it’s just that we’ve been wanting to do it for a long time.

Is your house trying to be a supermodel? I know that’s a weird thing to ask but bear with me.

In today’s virtual holiday we are visiting a very special place – The Looking Glass Garden in Te Puke (pronounced teh-pook-eh) which is themed on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland storybook.

Welcome to this week's virtual holiday and round up of the past week.

Are you in need of a holiday? I feel like I am. For the next few weeks, I thought I’d take you on a virtual holiday on New Zealand. Want to come along?

I’m soooo excited to be sharing this with you today. This post has been literally years in the making!

I know you’ve seen this picture before - I had every intention to reveal my kitchen renovation to you this week.

Happy New Year! I know I’m just a few days late and I hope you can forgive me.

I’m a cheapskate and I’m not ashamed of it! Our kitchen renovation budget was small.

Our house is tiny, and our toilet is no exception...

If you saw my Master Bedroom reveal you will have noticed that we painted our Lockwood shiplap walls. There are quite a few tips and tricks that I’ve learned while painting the interior of my entire house, so today, I thought I’d share those with you.

I know I’ve been promising for some time to reveal our renovated house with you – and we’re getting there.

We have beautiful beams in our house – and no insulation - until now.

I thought I’d share with you our new lights and talk a bit about the wiring in our 1970s Lockwood.

Where to buy a kitchen is a really good question especially if you have a limited budget and you know that the kitchen is going to be an important part of your home life. Here's how we came up with our final choice.

We're renovating an original 70's Lockwood home with the bright orange doors! Watch as we convert these dark shiplap walls into a light and airy modern home.
