Instagram | Cush & Nooks

As the school holidays and my beautiful kids encroach into my working day, I hope you forgive me for a simple post today. I wanted to show you a few recent images from my Instagram. This is where I post mostly images 'behind the scenes' of my home, life & work.




If you want to get a really good feel for person's style, check out their Instagram account, especially on your computer rather than in the actual app. My love of colour and pattern, and the sea is quite evident. What does your Instagram say about you?

A Warm GC Welcome

I know I've been missing in action - last week was spent with my family in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Australia. It was an amazing holiday in a spectacular part of the world. It was all about the kids, so we did the theme parks, cuddled koalas, patted the kangaroos, and hit the beaches.




I left everything but my phone at home, and any internet access was few and far between. But you know you have the best job when you miss work while on holiday! It was brilliant quality family time, but I was craving some interior goodness. I did find inspiration in our tropical surroundings, in the tiles at Chocolateria San Churro (that place was dangerous!), and even managed to squeeze in a quick shopping trip to Black & Spiro - heaven! It's nice to come home though, even when the temperature's a good 10 degrees colder. I look forward to bringing you some great posts this week and catching up on all things interior.

Cute DIY Projects

It's that time again... school holidays seem to roll around so quickly! If you're of the crafty nature, I've got a few super cute DIY projects that will keep your little ones happy.

Make a little dolls house with a simple cube shelf (you can find similar here), decorate back walls with wrapping paper, and create a roofline with washi tape - so adorable!




Download this free printable for watermelon ice cream cone wrappers. Top the cone with a scoop of ice cream and let the kids add their own toppings, you'll be very popular.




For a whole raft of clever ideas check out Mr Printables, a great site that offers creative and educational free printable your kids will love. Here are some of my favourites...






Happy crafting, and enjoy the holidays.
