Loving… picture rails {decor DIY}

June 19, 2018

Yay, a blog post that isn’t about babies! We moved into our home over 3 years ago, but it’s taken me this long to actually hang some pictures on the walls.  Why?  Because I have commitment issues.  I love collecting prints and photos, but the thought of trying to decide on where to hang everything,…

Loving… Giggle & Co {Baby Brand 1}

May 30, 2018

I have to be honest – I feel like the current trends in baby & kids decor are getting a bit stale.  So many of the shops, markets and social media feeds are filled with the same cookie-cutter design ideas – there’s A LOT of chevron, woodland creatures and tee-pee’s!  Don’t get me wrong, many…

Loving…new nursery trends {Part 1: floral fantasy}

November 11, 2017

I have to be honest with you – Evan does not have what many would call a “Pinterest-worthy” room.  We did pretty major renovations in the months before he was born (actually we still had workers traipsing through our house when he was a week old), so I didn’t have much of an opportunity to…

Loving…Make Spring Better {Prominent Paints part 1}

October 25, 2017

Does anyone else really struggle with making bold design choices?  I’ve wanted to paint a feature wall in our living area for ages, but I’ve really battled with committing to a plan!  Which is silly, considering that we could realistically paint over any disasters.  So, when Prominent Paints contacted me a little while ago about…

Loving… Stowe & So {gorgeous gifts}

April 24, 2017

I love finding local online stores that have original and reasonable items. I came across Stowe & So towards the end of last year, and I immediately added some of their items to my Christmas wishlist!  I love my little piggy cereal bowl, and my “deskpet” calendar brightens up my desk at work.  I also…

Loving…Pressed flower art {Nostalgic Beauty}

February 10, 2017

When I think of pressed and dried flowers, I can’t help thinking of greeting cards sold at church bazaars.  But thanks to amazing artists like Janine Vermeulen from Foraged, this art form is gaining in popularity.  Thankfully, it’s something that is accessible to everyone, and it’s a fun activity to do with kids.  I have fond memories of…

Loving… DIY lampshade make-over {No sew}

September 1, 2015

We’ve had a couple of bedside lamps for more than 5 years (they were actually a wedding present).  They have served us faithfully, but recently the shades have become quite yellowed and marked.  I searched high and low for suitable replacements, but I found it extremely difficult to find ones that were the right size,…

Loving… Chalk Paint {A South African guide}

August 27, 2015

If you’ve been anywhere near Pinterest in the last couple of years, you’ve probably heard of chalk paint.  Although chalk paint is incredibly popular overseas, it’s remains relatively unknown to many South Africans.  I’ve dabbled with some chalk painting (only recently, I might add), so I thought it may be helpful to provide a local guide…
