We started DIYing when we bought our first house in 2019 and now we've renovated three houses because we had the audacity to start then had to figure out how to get it done.

We're here to share what we've learned and hopefully inspire you to start, too!

A thrifty Aussie mum with the audacity to DIY anything. Old house, new projects, & life back home after a decade abroad šŸ› ļø

I knew live edge would shelves would be perfectttt I knew live edge would shelves would be perfectttt for the treehouse vision in our 4-year-old’s room but I had a little look online and they were about $300 each which I definitely could not justify. So I went to my trusty old Facebook Marketplace and found there was a warehouse across town selling slab offcuts and I got enough for four shelves for $100! 
Which means I basically ✨made✨ $1100.

I will die on the hill that paint is the absolute I will die on the hill that paint is the absolute best way to transform a room (especially if you’re newer to projects and don’t have a full renovation budget), so take this as your sign to choose a colour and go for it! #ad

The colour I used in here (Benjamin Moore Smoke) isn’t too saturated or dark or baby blue, and it was the perfect anchor for this whole room vision. Leaving everything white wouldn’t have had these cosy vibes at all!

Designing this kitchen-turned-kids room came at a Designing this kitchen-turned-kids room came at a time when 90s classics (The Sandlot, Parent Trap, Matilda, etc) are going platinum in our household so I was going for a mashup of our 4-year-old’s favourite things. 
He at one point said he wanted ā€˜rainbow’ so I tried to fit as many colours as possible and I’m also to be honest a bit emotional that his little Dino traveled stuffed in a suitcase on a cargo ship halfway across the world to get back to his spot in the middle of the bed 😭
Anyway I’m so proud of this room and also jealous my kids are cooler than me.
