• Upcycling – Gran’s candle stick and plate become Heidi’s cupcake stand

  If you play around on Pinterest (especially in the the DIY and crafty areas) you would most certainly have stumbled across the use of old plates or pie tins and candle sticks to make a cupcake stand. Let’s face it, we all have old plates and candle sticks ‘floating’ around the house, that we NEVER…

• Stool transformation

  There is a story behind most of the items of furniture in our home – I like it that way (partly, because I love telling stories!!). These four stools have recently become one of my transformation stories. Where do I get the motivation (and time) to do all this? OK, I’ll be honest, these stools…

• Upcycling: egg carton muffin box

  I guess you could call this Part II of Upcycling: Transforming garbage. I have ‘a thing’ about throwing things away that can be used for something else – it drives my husband crazy. All around our house you’ll find items I have saved from the trash that are being stored until I get around to…

I was returning to one of my favourite places to waste a Sunday afternoon… The Mill Markets with the intention of buying an old wooden Pinocchio I had spied on my last visit (It was to become another addition to Heidi’s nursery wall). I didn’t…

• Old to new(ish) – dining chair transformation…

  It’s official, salvaging furniture from the side of the road and restoring or transforming it is a hereditary trait. Many months ago I mentioned to Mum that I wanted to replace the bench seats along the side of our dining table with six chairs. I wanted the change-over to coincide with our move into our…

• From garbage to gorgeous – transforming a three panel screen

  I stumbled across this rattan screen about 4 years ago. It was 7.30am, I was driving to work… my attention was drawn to a skip sitting outside a house in our street. Sticking out the top of the skip was a small portion of this rattan screen/room divider – It looked promising! So much so,…
