An Australian mother has confounded the internet with a seemingly innocent photo of her 14-year-old daughter’s bedroom after receiving a ‘makeover’ from Bunnings Warehouse.
The woman, who lives in South Australia, posted to Facebook on Monday with photos of the finished product, which showed her daughter’s bed, desk and storage unit.
Yes, it’s true, the cool house on the block always has a pool. But we don’t blame you if you don’t want to spend all your time and money installing and maintaining one. A slightly easier and less expensive way to make your backyard the official destination of summer is with an above ground pool. The typical above-ground pool cost is a fraction of what you’d spend on an inground one.
An above ground pool has rigid sides with supports and sits on top of the ground rather than down in it like a vinyl or fiberglass pool. They come as deep as four feet—so no diving, please—and as big as 12-by-24 feet, so they can hold a few friends but not a big party. And yes, technically, hot tubs are just small above ground pools with more powerful heaters, but here we’re talking about large, cannonball-worthy swimming pools.

‘You can’t imagine the number of people who stop me in the Village and say whatever you do, ‘keep the blood lab open’
The healthcare professionals who work at the Burk’s Falls Family Health Team are enjoying a much-needed face-lift to the health centre.
The employees are now working in a renovated facility which includes re-purposing the former emergency reception into office space.
Christine Barr is the Administrative Assistant for the Village of Burk’s Falls who also coordinates the health center’s administration.
Barr said one of the significant improvements includes how the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) can now operate at the facility.
“The OTN used to be in a small room and they regularly dealt with people with mobility challenges, like people with walkers,” Barr said. “So you’d have the nurse, the patient and a walker in a tiny area. But the bigger space has really improved matters.”

Sarah Baumler is known for her impeccable eye for interior design on shows like Renovation Island, Rock the Block, and Battle on the Beach. But the HGTV star (and jewelry designer!) is making a name as a fashion icon, and her fans are trying to replicate her looks.
Sarah shared a casual selfie poolside at her Caerula Mar resort in the Bahamas. In the photo, she’s wearing a halter-style white tank top paired with matching white shorts with ruffle details at the waist and on the pockets. Her hair is pulled back in a sleek bun, and she’s enjoying a cold beverage in a mason jar. She captioned the post, “That Friday feeling 🤍Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend with the ones they love xxsb.”
As usual, fans left comments like, “I’d love to know so what makes the clothes you wear. You always look so great” and “I love that

When a client asks for a guest house that doubles as a yoga studio, and you don’t just deliver – but build something so seamless it looks like it was always there – well, that’s a reward in itself.
But for the dreamy, yogi-approved outdoor space it created in West Vancouver, the CCI-Fairmile Group has won plenty of acclaim, too. Most recently: a Georgie Award for Best New Small-Scale Home up to 1,000 Square Feet, along with two Homebuilders’ Association of Vancouver award nominations.
It took a whole lot of care and planning to match every angle, peak, column and soffit of the new structure seamlessly with the original – a 2015-built, 6,000-square-foot modern-traditional family home – says CCI-Fairmile Group
On a nearly unbearably hot Thursday afternoon, volunteers and employees from the State College Food Bank strapped on their hard hats and picked up their shovels for a groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the food bank’s new location.
The food bank announced in June 2022 it would be moving to 169 Gerald St. — the former home of Apple Hill Antiques — but will continue operations at its 1321 S. Atherton St. location until renovations are complete.
Construction on the $4.3 million project, which includes gutting the interior as well as major renovations to the parking lot, will begin on Monday. The new location will not only provide double the space but also help consolidate services for families in need, executive director Allayn Beck said.
“We want to make sure that we’re able to serve all the individuals and families coming through our doors but also be our support system for all
There’s no shortage of lamp shades at thrift stores and they’re usually very reasonably priced, which makes them the perfect DIY project! I have been swooning over pleated lamp shades for a while but they are pretty expensive! I’ll show you how to make your own for less money.
I found this little lamp base at a thrift store for $10 and couldn’t pass it up. It didn’t come with a lampshade so I bought this tapered lampshade online. For some reason when I bought it it was only $25 and now it’s double the price…suspicious! But you can check out thrift stores for cheaper ones.
There are several different ways to make a pleated lampshade and I followed some of the other tutorials first, using the whole fabric and folding it over. If your lampshade is in the shape of a drum then this method

To find out the most in-demand home renovation projects right now, GOBankingRates spoke to real estate agents, who know firsthand what buyers are looking for. These are the renovations buyers want the most in 2023.
Jaylon Brigham, an associate real estate broker with Compass in New York City, said that kitchen renovations remain a top priority for buyers.
“With open layouts in today’s homes, a renovated kitchen has more value than a renovated bath as it’s part of the public space that’s visible at all times,” she
The first of 98 base isolators has been installed as part of the ongoing Salt Lake Temple renovations, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced this week.
Base isolators are mechanical devices that isolate the earth’s movement from the building above during a seismic event, according to the Church’s news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org dated May 23. A single base isolator weighs 18,000 pounds but can carry a weight of 8 million pounds. Installing isolators will allow the temple to move horizontally up to five feet in any direction during an earthquake.
The first base isolator was placed May 3 on the new footing on the temple’s west side. The new footings surround the towers on the east and west ends of the temple, extending down 35 feet and away from the original structure.
The base isolator’s installation marks a major milestone for the renovation project that began in
Spring is just around the corner and one of the things I’ve been wanting to add to our backyard this year is a raised garden bed. Or maybe some 😉 I’m still a newbie to the world of gardening so I wanted to make sure I did my research before jumping into building and planting them. If you want to do the same this year then I hope this post helps you start your garden bed journey with confidence!
The breadth of my gardening really started last year when we built a Grade Two Herbal Cultivator and I was instantly hooked. I love to get out on the deck and chop up herbs to use in our meals. So are the kids! They loved watching them grow and we even planted our first tomato! I know they will enjoy this larger bed as much as I do.
