A full-time paediatric nurse has become a glorified 'renovation queen' on social media after purchasing a range of DIY projects she completed on her linen cupboard, fridge, side walkway and fireplace.
Jessica Micallef, 29, runs the popular Instagram account , which shares daily photos of household products and decoration ideas to spice up your property.
The -based blogger and her partner Izz bought their house on December 7, 2017, after saving up for 16 months, with the intention of bringing it to life with careful renovation work and decluttering.

Jessica reorganised the side of their house with some stones and pavers in a single weekend
If you're looking to follow in their footsteps, Jessica recommends being practical above all else - and only keeping things you need or what you use.
'For the linen closet have a box, container or basket for everything and give each of them a category,' she told FEMAIL.
'It's easier to put away, even for little ones in the family.
It's practical. The linen closet hasn't changed since we've done it.'
For the fridge Jessica recommends purchasing clear containers from Kmart and having a compartment for each food group.

She also has one labelled 'use first' for things she has already opened or half eaten, so you're not looking for mouldy pieces of fruit at the back.
'Similar to the fridge, paver pedestal buy - pingdirapp4.directoryup.com, I was always being so wasteful with food and I wanted to stop that so I used shoe boxes from the Reject Shop and placed them in the freezer,' she said.
'It's never been easier to manage and I can see everything I have when I open the freezer.
No hidden items at all.'

Jessica transformed her fireplace with $200 and two days up her sleeve
Jessica even ventured down the side of the house and decided to make it neater over the course of a weekend, turning it into something 'pretty and easy to maintain.'
Four months later and there are still no weeds sprouting between the stones.
More recently the happy couple partook in a $200 two day challenge with other renovators on Instagram, choosing to re-do their fireplace.
It went from a dark and cluttered spot to house leftover boxes and a bike into a comfortable sitting room with an all-white paint job.
'We watch a lot of YouTube or Google something if we aren't sure,' she said of the process.
