We were stoked when iconic Australian brand, Blundstone contacted us to design and make plinths to display their boots in retails stores. It was a complete shift in the workshop from making beds but a really fun and creative project to get stuck into. We took the opportunity to use different materials, learn new skills and test new techniques.

We sat down with Australian apparel and homeware brand Banabae to chat about love, life and business. Click through to read about how we met, where we call home, how our business started by accident, what’s to come and how we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day.

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.

Nestled amongst the gumtrees in the beautiful home of Phoebe and Chris lives our Bookshelf Ledge Bed, styled to perfection with bold colours and lush wares.

This last month I completed Movember and it’s got me thinking about mental health and the way it affects everyone young and old. It’s something I am continuously working on and am aware of in my own life and those around me.

Like everyone, we’re sharing our top songs of 2021. Al’s is mostly Aussie punk rock and my playlist is mainly made up of songs from our birth playlist. We both love listening to music and always up for new recommendations so feel free to share your playlists with us!

This week Goldie turned six months old and it only feels like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. I remember people saying to me time flies…. and I can say from experience it goes quicker than that! Our experience so far into parenthood has been really nice despite being locked down for most of it. I think we’ll look back at that time just the four of us (including Edwina our pup) as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bond as a really tight little unit. In this blog post Al and I share our top five things we’ve learnt as new parents.

Restrictions are easing which means we can hang with out mates again! To celebrate, we asked this week on Tips, Hacks, Ideas for your best ideas for hosting epic parties. We hope you feel inspired by these fun ideas!

In 2020 we went into one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and we had to come up with a solution to photograph our furniture from home. We came up with a bookshelf design that doubles as a false wall in our living room and this has become the backdrop for our furniture photography. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as now we save so much money and time when it comes to staging and photographing our furniture.

This week on Tips, Hacks, Ideas we are chatting all about the best way to start the day with morning routines. On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behaviour becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact (James Clear - Atomic Habits), I believe this completely.
