Let's spruce up your kids' bedroom with a dash of fun and loads of functionality!

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Ever thought about reviving old stuff or getting crafty with budget finds? It's a blast! Plus, there are no limits to your creativity!

Check out these cool ideas:

1. **Bedhead Makeover:** Hunt down a vintage timber bedhead at a thrift store. If it needs a little TLC, give it a sanding and coat it with your kid's favorite colour. Voila! Now it's not just a bedhead; it's a bookshelf too! Perfect for storing their treasures.

2. **Funky Display Shelf:** Grab a circular shelf and jazz it up with a splash of paint. It's like creating a piece of art that's also functional! Easy peasy.

3. **Floating Desk Magic:** All you need is a sturdy benchtop and some support underneath. Mount it on the wall, and hey presto! Add a pegboard for hanging headphones, artwork, or any other knick-knacks your kid loves.

4. **Art Corner Fun:** Turn a boring alcove into an art haven with chalkboard paint. Instant creativity zone!

5. **Comfy Bench Seat:** Create a cosy spot for reading and playing. Lay a bookshelf on its side, top it with a foam mattress, and cover it up. Now you've got a comfy seat with built-in storage for books and toys. Win-win!

With these ideas, your kids' room will be the coolest spot in the house!

FARMERS PURCHASING

Moyrah from Tauranga City

JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
