Timber Bedroom Furniture With Rounded Edges
When it comes to designing and building furniture Al and I always consider practicality, functionality, longevity and aesthetics. Essentially.. we want our furniture to do more than just look good. And from our sales it shows that our customers too are looking for multifunctional furniture, in particular our drawer beds that capitalise on the prime realestate that often goes unused OR not used well.
DIY Personalised Christmas Gift Sacks
This holiday season I’ve teamed up with Cricut to create DIY personalised Christmas gift sacks for Goldie and all of her little friends. This is a really fun project and I know the kids will enjoy them for many years to come. I hope this inspires you to get crafty this holiday season and from my family to yours Merry Christmas!

Styling with Bold Colours and Prints In Your Bedroom
For this bedroom style we were inspired by the flowering wattle blossoms and how they pack a punch of colour on a gloomy winter’s day. So when Al finished making this custom Bookshelf Bed and matching Lowboy Chest of drawers it only felt right to go bold and style using a mix of fun colours, textures and prints.

Black And White Bedroom That's Far From Boring
It's not every day that we get asked to build a black bed so when we were approached by clients from Tasmania to create a custom black Bookshelf Bed of course we said yes. Of course we had to bring it inside and style it up in our home studio. We was so curious to know what it was going to look like when styled and we absolutely love how the bed fades into the background and all of the bed linen and styling items just pop!

Creating Family Traditions
Last weekend we put up our Christmas tree and it felt like the start of a new family tradition. Going out and picking the tree, pulling out the decorations, decorating and turning on the lights. It got us thinking about how important it is to create traditions and rituals as a family.

How Switching The Colours In Your Bedroom (almost) Feels Like a Holiday
