15 simple ways to be more prepared for Christmas

Imagine heading into December feeling on top of all your tasks - from present buying, card writing, house cleaning and calendar planning. 

Imagine spending the month of December focusing instead on the joy of Christmas with your family - decorating the tree, visiting the neighbourhood lights, attending parties and get-togethers, and enjoying your family's unique Christmas traditions.

With a little over 1 month til Christmas, now is the perfect time to start planning and getting organised so the chaos and stress of the busy season doesn't completely take over your life. Who's with me?

How to set up a super-organised wardrobe

How to set up a super-organised wardrobe

I recently shared with your our new master bedroom and the nice big empty space we had awaiting us for a new walk-in wardrobe. Well, me being me, I just couldn't wait any longer to get it set up! It was driving me nuts having to go up and down the stairs to our old bedroom every time I needed something to wear... which happens more than you think #firstworldproblems. Sick of my whinging, hubby bit the bullet one night and got to work.

7 sure-fire ways to get your pantry organised {Client Space}

Have you been thinking about getting your pantry more organised, but not sure where to start? Or do you feel like it's going to be a job that's just too big to undertake? For some of you, getting your pantry sorted won't be a massive undertaking if you've already got good systems in place for how to store and organise your food. 

However, if the thought of tackling your pantry seems like a completely overwhelming and daunting job that you'll avoid at any costs, know that you're not alone! My most recent client space makeover was a butler's pantry that took 4 hours to get sorted. But the end result was more than worth the effort! Today I'm walking you through the process, and 7 sure-fire ways to get your own pantry organised. You've totally got this!

Want exposed beams in your house? Here's how...

Want exposed beams in your house? Here's how...

Is there a part of your home that is a real feature, and has that 'wow factor'? Be it an interesting layout, a unique piece of furniture, a striking paint colour or even an unusual print, having a stand-out feature can become a talking point and something that makes your home unique. With our newly renovated house, that wow feature is most definitely the exposed beams on our pitched ceiling. Today I'm showing you the whole process of how we exposed the beams. It certainly was not without moments of tears and frustration, but the amazing transformation was more than worth it!

Our new master bedroom & ensuite reveal

This month is all about showing off the different spaces in our newly renovated house, which is super fun for me to do, and I hope you enjoy coming along for the ride too! It's been awesome for us to start seeing everything really come together around here.

We painted the entire house (both exterior and interior) ourselves, and are still going with the painting in quite a few different areas around the home. This teamed with other tasks we still have to complete, such as building a laundry, landscaping the garden and creating a new command centre, has really made this whole project feel like a massive labour of love! But it's also something that we're both incredibly proud of, and I think it's great for our kids to see how much hard work we're putting in to create our dream home. Now that we're in, they get to help out too which is a lot more fun. So, thus far I've given you a sneak peek at our kitchen and the kids' finished bedrooms. Today I'm excited to be showing you our master bedroom and ensuite. Let's go!
