Dollhouse delight

The dollhouse- such a powerful childhood memory!

Is there anything better than creating a whole world, a life and a story for all of the dolls (real and imaginary) in their own house...

Here is a wonderful reworked vintage dollhouse, with colourful wallpapered rooms and a shingle roof.

All this house needs is a garden... Imagine the adorable miniatures and bonsais that could work.

What a wonderful butterfly corner! I always loved an attic space the best...

There is definitely a dollhouse renovation in the planning stages around here. We will be sure to post some before and after photos of the fun!

Garden makeover

The garden today, and when first planted.

When we moved in to our house, the garden was in a terrible state. Full of weeds, grass, rubbish and inappropriate plants (rubber trees, ficus). There were also two enormous trees dominating the small space and destroying the garden wall.

Over the months we pulled every single thing out of the garden, cleaned up the soil, added brick edges to the beds, laid down turf, had the giant trees removed, and planted out an Australian native garden and a herb garden.

And it grew and grew!
