Our Kmart Styling Challenge has gone off with a start. We’ve had four entries…from the one person. Which is ok as the challenge goes for a month. If you’re looking to get involved, head to our Kmart Style Challenge post.
Kmart has just introduced some new marble homewares which are not only affordable but are easy to style in any home. The marble accessories aren’t available online, but I have seen them in store. There is a marble house door stop and a marble cross trivet. I’ve found the range in Kmart can be different in each store so visit a few if you can or why not call the store if you are after something in particular. I’m lucky I have 4 Kmarts I can easily get to.
I thought I’d share two of the entries into the #HITKmartStyle challenge. Karen from Me and Zebedee has shared her monochromatic vignettes using a mirror from Kmart in the first picture and the plant stand in the second picture. Styling is an art and I love the results.
Did you know the winning bedroom on The Block in the first week used Kmart accessories for part of the styling? Just shows you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the interior look you want.
Last week on HIT, Aaron from Mayfair Plumbing shared how to correctly glue PVC pipe. When I went to Tafe, I was taught the correct term was ‘welding’ PVC pipe because the primer and glue worked together to weld the fittings together. It might sound contradictory that I share Aaron’s post here when I recently posted how plumbing fittings should be only sold to licensed tradespeople. The thing is some plumbers have cut corners and haven’t primed their fittings. There are also some plumbing applications like simple storm water PVC pipe fixup where a plumber is not required. I believe if you are going to DIY, you need to know the right way to do it. Primer and Glue are a must for PVC connections. Aaron explains in this video how to do it right.
Erin from Seven Little Australian’s and counting shared the family effort it took to build their deck. I particularly enjoyed reading this post as Erin’s daughter’s weren’t afraid to get on the tools and give their dad a hand. I love this. You should also see the end result.
