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

Every house has that one sad little spot you avoid Every house has that one sad little spot you avoid eye contact with. Ours was this one: a patch of bark, old concrete, and so much potential if you could see beyond the spider webs. 
 
We measured the space, opened the Bunnings Decking Planner, and played around until it looked like the cozy sitting area we’d been imagining. We chose the Ekodeck Designer Series because they’re beautiful of course, but also they’re composite so won’t warp or need much upkeep and they’re BAL19-rated for bushfire season. We could also add furniture straight into the planner and generate a shopping list of everything we’d need (even little things like screws and clips) and have it all delivered right to our door. 
 
The build wasn’t glamorous (is it ever?), but the moment we laid the last board, it felt like this corner finally matched the life happening around it. 
 
10/10 recommend fixing the spots of your house you’re tired of ignoring.
