Living Room Nook featuring the Freedom Cooper leather armchair

There was a large empty corner of our living room that was begging to be filled and styled!  While shopping for a sofa, I came across the 'Cooper' armchair by Freedom Furniture.  It immediately caught my eye when I stepped into the showroom!  Covered in a supple caramel vintage leather, this statement piece has elegant brass coloured legs and a rounded wing back detail.   Despite having mid-century vibes the armchair blends in well with our industrial-farmhouse aesthetic.

Ensuite toilet featuring the Kmart bamboo storage shelf
Our ensuite toilet is relatively spacious compared to the size of our ensuite bathroom, so we use it to store washroom essentials.  This Kmart bamboo storage shelf provides the extra storage we need and it helps jazz up the space too!​

I gave Sophie the Giraffe a face-lift 🦒 
Sophie the Giraffe spray painted
My nephew has outgrown his teething toy so I decided to up-cycle Sophie with some leftover spray paint and pop her in the guest bedroom for when he comes to stay.

Hallway featuring the Kmart Oak Look Storage Bench and wooden coat stand
When it comes to styling a hallway, the key is to keep it simple.   The pieces you choose will depend on the size of your entrance space, and it's wise to pick a piece of functional storage furniture, and where possible add a coat stand or rack. Dress up the space with some artwork and greenery - be it faux or real!  Go for narrow furniture where possible.  A slim bench seat with built-in storage, or a narrow console table is ideal for the hallway. 

My hallway features 
the Kmart Oak Look Storage Bench and wooden coat stand.  ​I debated whether to put a console table in this space but opted for a bench seat which I find more practical because I use it to sit while I pop on my shoes.

Home Office Reading Nook featuring Le Corbusier chaise lounge
I had an empty corner in my home office where I wasn't sure what to do with.  During a furniture shopping trip, I came across a replica of the iconic Le Corbusier chaise lounge, and as soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for the space!  I snapped it up as it was the last one in stock, and 5 years on I'm still loving this timeless piece.  Made from soft grain leather, I added a genuine sheepskin rug for a touch of  warmth.

Michelle goes on to explain how you can either take the handles off or simply tuck them inside and adhere the top from the side table using a wood glue. She recommends adding some weight or clamp it overnight to ensure it adheres securely.

KMART HACK | Rattan Sideboard

24/7/2020

Tracey from @ourlittleredbrickhome shows how versatile the $59 Kmart Rattan Sideboard can be!
She converted them into overhead kitchen cabinets by removing the legs and fixing them to the wall.

On her Instagram post below, Tracey explains how she went about transforming from sideboard to cabinet!
The panel where the legs would normally go is glued to the board, this had to be removed which caused some minor damage but we expected that and planned to flip them so the damage would be on top and not seen.
We got timber from Bunnings and cut 2 pieces to size for each unit, glued and clamped these to the back (swipe), once dry, the units were propped up to the height that they needed to be and Ste drilled the units to the wall, going through the pieces of timber that had been glued to the back. 3 screws on top and 3 on the bottom for each sideboard.
