Hey Bernice!

A new beginning

We have arrived in our new (temporary) home. Our refuge during the exciting time we are about to embark upon … building our new home. It’s always a refreshing experience moving somewhere new – so many things to discover. You don’t live your life as a habit or routine, because there is one established in…

The rebirth of a wooden Hippo

Back in the house-hunting days (which seems like an eternity away, although only eight weeks ago!) we stumbled across a garage sale.

A new look for an old lampshade

I don’t know about you, but it is really hard to find a good lampshade these days. It was time I took things into my own hands and created what I was looking for. I had received a hand-me-down lampshade from my grandmother (via mum). It had a rather grand marble base that could also…
