I've been pretty obsessed with half-painted walls recently (read more about
it here) and after dreading the 'during' but really excited to see the
'after', we jumped into it and thought oh well, if it doesn't work it's
just paint after all!
I was really impressed at how easy it was to get it done though! It took
some coordination and two of us to get the results we did, but I would do
it again! 100%! I'm sharing it step-by-step here, so you can do the same if
you share my crush for half-painted walls.
A few weeks ago I shared my plans for the kitchen makeover (check it out
here) and after an Easter painting fiesta and getting all the accessories
and styling together, I'm finally ready to reveal the new fresh kitchen,
just in time for brighter and longer days!
My kitchen makeover is well under way and it'll be ready for the reveal soon! In the meantime, there is a very cool feature in my new kitchen that was super easy and affordable to do and keeps getting us compliments by anyone that sees it.

The problem is that when you ask a designer to throw a party, no matter how small, you can't expect not to have a party theme, DIY decorations and lots of lists to organise it all! Off I was to plan it, and after a lot of fun on Pinterest I decided to go for the 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' theme. And the colour gold. Because that was the colour of the cake stands I wanted to use, and that's where it all started! The first thing I...
I have confessed a few weeks ago that I am loving DIY Posters! I have been compiling ideas for more & more posters that I'd love to put up on my walls, bookcases, desks, everywhere. You really can decorate anything with great typography and a cute message, combine it with your colour scheme and voila... it's all you needed to complete your room decor! Put it in a picture frame for your desk, print it big and wall mount it for a statement, block print it to finish up your bookcase, bed side table, window ledges. Really, anywhere!
