With it being spring here in Australia, all our vegetables are starting to sprout in our vegie-patch. However, insects are starting to nibble on these little growths! We don't want to use harsh chemic...
While useful, ceiling fans are generally ugly and the ones with a light attached can be even worse. When we stumbled across Fanaway we were surprised that we hadn’t seen this concept before. Fanaway...
When we were in our yard the other day- this is what we saw. A meter high mass of bees might have made us feel nervous if we didn’t know what they were doing. But you have to keep an eye on our flyi...
There has been a reoccurring discussion in our house ever since we moved in- “Can we have a rug and carpet?”. We have a textured carpet through the whole house [except for wet areas] and we plan o...
We have a confession– we’re still using store bought cleaning products. We’ve heard all the praises for vinegar and bi-carb soda but until today we hadn’t realised just how much money we’re ...
While we love living small and plan to do so forever, but sometimes it is nice to daydream about living big. The hottest piece of real estate on the market at the moment is The Walker House, located a...
We’re a big fan of our local Fabric Exchange. Not only do they have an amazing range of vintage and rare fabrics but you can also earn some extra money for any excess fabric you have lying around. Y...
We’re trying to convince one of our friends that he needs to do something similar to this. Living in a small studio apartment he’s after all the storage he can get!! While we would be hesitant to ...
We tried our hand at doing collages’ when we were at school and the results were rubbish. Anika Cook of Sneak Design puts us to shame with her handy-work. Anika’s work is both a combination of col...
We always enjoy having a day out at Ikea, but we cant help notice that not everyone has such a fun day. Every time we go to Ikea we hear couples, friends and families arguing about all kinds of measur...
We visited the Canberra Glassworks over the weekend and while there were a lot of great works, Jacqueline Knight’s pieces were outstanding. A one meter high solid green glass clothes peg dominated t...
David Knott’s diamond cut basin is the kind of thing we would have loved to see today after spending most of it looking at all things for a bathroom renovation– everything was just a bit too safe ...
As someone who is horribly afraid of heights, this house makes us nervous! Forgetting our own fears of anything higher than a stepladder, this looks fantastic from all angles. Built just down the road...

We received this notice in our letterbox the other week and have been keeping it on our fridge as we found the drawing of the rabbit amusing. Obviously, some child was quite upset about their missing ...
We know you love house tours but sometimes 2 a day just isn’t enough! After stumbling across House Tribe yesterday we’ve been flicking through it ever since. Currently there are just over 160 hous...
Our final family holiday with parents and sibling was to Ayers Rock. Getting up before dawn to watch the sunrise over the Rock, seeing it changing colours going from purple to grey to orange, it reall...

We love looking around at other peoples work spaces and after getting a peek at the ATLA home offices yesterday we wanted to see more. This Ain’t No Disco [it’s where we work] is a website set up ...

All this talk of escape month has us thinking- if we could pack our bags and get away tomorrow where would we go? Our answer is the Henry Jones Art Hotel in Tasmania. It’s the only Art Hotel in all ...
We stumbled across this website and couldn’t believe the prices these items were going for. We know they are most likely not genuine articles, but at these prices people on a tight budget will be ab...
While Arne Jacobsen’s Series 7 Chair can be seen in every second café in Melbourne, Lisa Jones take on this chair is one we haven’t seen before. Her pieces are inspired by da Vinci’s anatomical...
We were strolling down the laundry aisle in Big W the other day and came across these colourful 28 litre buckets that are perfect for the ‘bucket in shower water re-use’ concept. It’s been menti...
In Australia it can be quite the task to find a tasteful Australian inspired fabric. Most are either aboriginal prints, yellow wattle or gum leaves- all of which could work in an Australiana Themed Ho...
