HANGING BY A STRING This house little grey house is not large, but it is spacious, if that makes sense. Open plan living allows for these smaller homes to have the illusion of space even if it is all smoke and mirrors. I’ve also shared plenty about my need to anchor, to attach or float furniture as opposed to placing it. The String Shelving System is all about that!

Lean on Me
LEAN ON ME And so two months in and I am settling in this, my Little Grey House. My last raving about storage is still a reality, the list hasn’t diminished, in fact it continues to grow. I spoke of my stuff and how nothing seemed to fit… well even my bar stools were lost in space with the lack of a ‘bar’ to house them. For the loss of anything else to do I lined them up Everything has a home
EVERYTHING HAS A HOME Moving house is hard! It is said to be one of THE MOST stressful events in an average persons life. Hmmm, I am beginning to agree. As a child my family moved a lot; I can remember coming home from school and finding empty packing boxes in my bedroom, this would be my signal… we’re moving again. When I grew up, and had control over these life-changing events, I chose not to move too I Heart Art
I HEART ART Lockdown meant we spent time staring at the same four walls wishing they were perhaps bigger, brighter, busier or quieter… I for one wished mine were a little more… interesting. Perhaps a structure to them to lift their flat and lifeless surface, give them strength and character. Of course I could paint them to give them colour, I could wallpaper them to give them pattern, I could even float some shelves to add texture but Light at the end of the tunnel
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL Well I don’t know about you but I’m getting a little tired of staring at the same four walls. During these Lockdowns it can feel a little like they are closing in on you no matter how bright and white they may be. Though there is limited supply of non-necessity items during these enforced stay at home mandates having moved from a big house in the country to a small house How to set up a Bar Cart
HOW TO SET UP A BAR CART There is something ultimately sophisticated about a Bar Cart or Drinks Trolley. Popular in the mid-century they are finally making a comeback and they are better than ever. But don’t be daunted by the Pinterest and Instagram beauties, you too can have a perfectly styled cart simply and affordably. The cart itself is a matter of preference, whether you love vintage, the glitz of a brass and glass trolley or a That Shop
THAT SHOP “Have you heard about That new shop?” Those were the words that inspired Wendy Martin to open one of her very own. When she and her husband Simon moved into the property in rural Auckland two years ago she knew that one day the little outbuilding next to the house would become her own little cottage shop. After Simon had done the hard yards with the structural and electrical work, Wendy set about making the interior Nooks and Crannies
NOOKS AND CRANNIES nook (no͝ok) n. 1. A small corner, alcove, or recess, especially one in a large room. 2. A hidden or secluded spot. Okay, tell me you don’t want to sometimes disappear; curl up somewhere safe and not be noticed if only for a while, just like you could do when you were little. I have a couple of spots like this at my little house, one is where I sit with my morning Nespresso, it Perfect Place Setting
PERFECT PLACE SETTING Monsteras seem to be taking over my life. I buy them little wishing for them to grow but when they grow I wish them little again. Looking at my overloaded plant I am thinking those beautiful big green leaves will make the best placemats! I am teaming it up with this gorgeous dinner set from Wundaire and Fisher & Paykel and I think it looks amazing! Lunch Date Set! Photography and Styling by My Little A Guest Room Joosh Up
A GUEST ROOM JOOSH UP My Guest Bedroom is a tricky space to furnish, the pitched ceiling means a much lower bed which means that most bedsides towered above or just looked a little, well little. This clever shelf, part of the Made of Tomorrow Fold range is the perfect alternative. Being wall-hung it can be positioned perfectly, its powder coating is durable enough to take any knocks and its curves add a bit of softness to the
