• I love an old bike… located in a cafe with a quirky style

  During our recent holiday we went exploring (a day trip planned by my sister). She had been recommended a hidden little gem called Cafe Espace. It is off the coats of Gippsland in Eastern Victoria, waterfront dining situated on Raymond Island with stunning views overlooking Mcmillan Strait to the Paynesville township. So, five of us…

• I have completed my Kitchenalia wall [collection of red vintage cooking utensils]

  I’ve mentioned in an earlier blog a quirky habit of mine… collecting antique (or they could be better described as ‘vintage’), red cooking utensils. I had been talking up the great finds I had made over the Christmas break, and have found it necessary to share with you the finished product. How do you know…

• Recycled furniture (part II) – storage solutions

  It is safe to say that almost everyone suffers from storage issues – we never have enough space for our things (whether they are worthy of keeping or not!). Already I have shared my love for using recycled items in my home in a recent post, however I forgot to share the variety of recycled…

  Since launching Hey Bernice! in December I have had a steady flow of donations from family (Thank you!). The picture here is a sample of the beautiful asian inspired paper my sister gave me at Christmas time. They are small squares of gorgeous patterns (my generous god mother Norma kindly gave my sister and me…

• Dump your doorstops – it’s time to upgrade…

  Recently I have become obsessed with doorstops. Maybe because I have had to rely on them a bit lately. With the weather verging on 40° this past week, then the ‘cool change’ sweeping over us so quickly (dropping the temperature by 10° in the same number of minutes), Melbournians are very used to opening up…

• Who needs crystal animals when you can collect red, antique cooking utensils?

  

  There are a lot of Kitchen utensils (more than 4000…) and they have some very strange names, and purposes (and my husband is very concerned about this). He is concerned because about 2 years ago I started collecting red antique kitchen utensils to hang on our kitchen wall. It started off very casually at first,…
