Foxtel IQ is my friend

Yeah yeah, I know I should be advocating watching less television, but anyone who knows me, knows I'm a reality and design show junkie ...But that's why I love Foxtel IQ!
I can set up my tapings for the week (use the 'series link' so it automatically records the whole season) and whenever I have free time I can view to my heart's content.

I actually find this a great time management tool as I don't ever dictate events around a favourite show's time. I save time sifting through tapes or DVDs as it's all on a hard drive I can access with the click of a button and it's also a great space saver.

Now my only challenge is to stop recording anything that ends with "I'm sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated..."

Funky kids beds





One of my many current projects at home is looking at different options for my son's bedroom as he's ready for his first 'big bed'. I came across this website furnish which has fantastic solutions for incorporating a bed as well as storage and sometimes either a trundle or desk as well. Floor space is definately key real estate in a kids room, so I thought these were great!

Clever labeling


I found this image on the Martha Stewart website http://www.marthastewart.com/good-things/clip-on-tags and thought it was a clever way to label baskets. I love that you could change the cards so if you needed to change the items in storage seasonally it wouldn't be a drama!
