A few weeks ago, The Plumbette and I announced our Instagram competition. Entrants were to post a photo of their home improvement, which could be anything from an extension to a vignette you had styled. It did not matter the size or scope of the project, if it had improved your home life in some way, it was a valid entry.
We had so many wonderful entries, who shared so many amazing parts of their homes, today I would like to share a few of my favourites. In no particular order, here are my favourite entries for our #HITmystyle Instagram competition.
@boomerangjane shared her lounge room styling update, the first in 20 years! Looks sensational to me ?
@apugnamedspencer posted a picture of this cute space in their sunroom that was changed into a ‘chill space’. Isn’t it lovely!
I just love this front porch as shared by @lemmie25 so fresh and bright!
Our great friend Renee from @mummywifeme showed off her husbands talents, sharing their handy shoe keeper, that you can sit on, to put on your shoes, how very clever!!
New comer to the blog world @thedocandme shared her daughters gorgeous bedroom. Such a pretty space.
@mrs.lauren.roney showed off her lounge room reporting how comfy her grown up couches are ? I love the rug!
But enough of all this excitement and sharing, it’s time to reveal the winner of our #HITmystyle competition…..Drum roll please……….
Vicki from @boiledeggsandsoldiers has been busily renovating her Queenslander and shared the entrance way into her home. I adore the colour on the walls, and how the colours in the peacock feathers picks up the blue in the wall and the green in the palm trees. Stunning space!
Vicki is the lucky recipient of a $100 Coles Myer voucher. Thank you to all our entrants, for a glimpse into some of the other entrants, head on over to The Plumbette.

Thanks for the shout out ladies, lots of very creative and talented people out there x
Well done Renee!
Wow how awesome are all these gorgeous pictures
There were some fab entries. One of the ones I wanted to feature was no longer available to be shared. Can’t wait to do another comp later in the year.
Yay Vicki! I’ve loved following (but not in a stalker way!) her reno of her beautiful Queenslander – she’s doing such a great job! That said, all the entries look so snazzy, it must have been super hard to pick only one!
These are awesome entries and very inspiring too!! Love the splashes of KMart! Congrats to the winner!
I’ve been following along with Vicki’s (Boiled Eggs and Soldiers) renovation and I love what she’s been doing. And that entrance way is stunning. The colours are gorgeous – just makes me think of water….
Thank you so much I’m delighted you like it and to be part of your competition. All the photos are of gorgeous spaces & im taking ideas for the next part of our Reno, clever ladies out there! Thank you also for the very generous prize. Xxx
Congrats everyone, such gorgeous spaces.
Congratulations Vicki, I love the colours
… you had me at Queenslander.
Happy weekend guys x
