Bedroom Makeover Reveal + SleepMaker Giveaway

Thanks to SleepMaker we got the chance to give our bedroom a makeover.

The timing was perfect as the renovations were complete and our bedroom needed a fresh new look to match the rest of the house. We kept most of our existing furniture and homewares but a few new bits and pieces were added. This included a new bed. 

Our old bed was so low to the ground you couldn't vacuum under it so I wanted something lighter and airier. I also got Simon to make a bench for the end of the bed. So great to have a handy husband!


You can read my previous post on which SleepMaker mattress we chose and how we narrowed it down here

 Of course Noah wanted to test out the new mattress immediately! ;)



After being out of the house for 5 weeks while the renovations were happening, I have a new appreciation for my own bed and my own house. 
It was great to potter around and create a new relaxed, comfy sanctuary.

Here are a few photos from our refreshed space -


My love of typography and prints is still strong as you can see here!
I wanted the art above the bed to be a feature and have a romantic, coupley theme.
Neutral colours were also important as I wanted them to complement any colour of linen on the bed.



You can't really dress up a tv but we love to watch an episode of something before we go to sleep.


 A beaded ball chandelier in white was on my wishlist for ages. 
I just needed to find one in my budget  and I did!

Her side


The bench Simon made was a quick DIY and is the perfect spot to sit and pop your shoes on. 
Noah is also using it as a step to launch himself on the bed!


I can't tell you how wonderful our sleep has been since the mattress arrived.  
Also the softness of the washed grey linen quilt cover has me lingering there in the mornings and doing a bit of work from bed. We have been on school holidays after all ;)


I'm not the only one hanging out there!


SleepMaker was so generous and also gifted me a Queen Sleep Pack


Consisting of 2 x pillows, 2 x pillow protectors, 1 x quilt and 1 x mattress protector. 
I've also got one to give away - valued at $700.00.


Jasper can vouch for how comfy and snuggly they are!

Leave me a comment below if you would like to enter. I'll draw the winner next week.
Good Luck! 
Perfect timing as we change over the bed linen and quilts for the cooler weather.

My 10 Spring/Summer Wardrobe Essentials

With the warmer weather arriving (although it is nowhere to be seen today!) it has inspired me to clean out my wardrobe and see which pieces I need to add for my Spring/Summer wardrobe.

I usually stick to the same style of pieces each year. 
I either update them in a new colour, fabric or cut.
Although some of my faithful dresses stick around year after year.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces at the moment


1. My favourite Summer staple is a Maxidress and I loved this peach coloured one. Found here

2. A new hat is a must for me each year as by the end of Summer they are misshapen and water damaged. Found here

3. I love the classic salt water sandal and I especially love it in white. So fresh! Found here

4. Comfy denim shorts are a must. I loved the colour and fabric of these ones. Found here

5. My new favourite beach bag. I adore the leopard print plus you can fit so much in. Last beach trip I had 3 towels, change of clothes for each of the boys, water, snacks, keys etc . It all fit in easily. Found here

6. A white top is a hard working staple in my summer wardrobe.
I liked the extra detail on this one. Found here

7. This espadrille is perfect for when I want to give my thongs + sandals a break. Found here

8.You can't go wrong with a black one piece. I liked the simplicity of this one. Found here

9. I'm loving my roundie towel. I like that I can also use it at home as a rug or throw as well as at the beach. The b+w graphic is so cool. Found here

10. My flamingo float is the perfect size and colour for me to float around the pool dodging the boys and their splashes + bombs! Found here

Other Summer Essentials of mine are a good sunscreen, gradual fake tan/moisturiser, a Lifeproof case for my phone for those beach + pool pics and a summery candle to scent the air. 
I'm loving this one at the moment.

I also loved this Country Road video, it really embraces the best bits of Summer. It's shot beautifully in the most gorgeous light.
