• My Footpath find – trash to treasure (chair transformation)

  

  My husband and I were driving home after a lazy Sunday breakfast when he was hit with ‘Stop, reverse the car’. I had spotted 2 potential outdoor chairs (which we needed to complete our new deck). These chairs were sitting on the footpath (hard rubbish for anyone who is game), about 30m down a side…

• The Junk Company… where you can find a hidden treasure

  I only stumbled across The Junk Company recently, and have now placed it on my (long) list of places I must visit frequently to check for any new items. Visit their website here. I can’t explain the feeling I get as I approach an antique shop, or any kind of junk/vintage style shop. It is…

• 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…

• Opt for recycled furniture

  We went for years without a ladder in our house when we were renting. For some reason when we bought our own house we got the sudden urge to start collecting our own hardware items. We had talked about buying a ladder for sometime, and knew it wouldn’t be long before we owned our own…
