Pegboard Love

Love this pegboard in the current #insideoutmag. In the currently popular natural (ply)wood.

(Made by the Hornsby Berowra Men’s Shed.)

Simple Bedroom Desk

If you must have a desk in the bedroom – keep it simple and make it beautiful.  Remember that it’ll be the first and last thing you see everyday.  Actually, it’s important to remember that about everything in the bedroom! Now, this setup could almost convince me to add a desk!

Bathroom Warmth

A very easy way to add warmth to a too white/cold bathroom.

Shelf Style

Nice styling by Alvem Makleri on what are normally fairly bland/boring shelves. The tricks in play are grouping of similar colours of books, varying the height along the shelves, a mix of textures and items to tantalise the eye (I’m starting to sound like Ms Ahern!) and a bit of negative (empty) space so each grouping/item can breathe. Oh – and hiding all the REALLY ugly stuff in cool boxes!

Abigail Aherns Bedroom?

I can’t believe that Abigail Ahern’s bedroom used to look like this but it just goes to show you how our style evolves as we evolve. It’s perfectly normal and actually would be weird if it didn’t. Nothing wrong with this bedroom either though it might make her cringe these days! Interesting, huh?

My Life – Desk DIY
