Bosch dishwasher to give away

Martin from Wilton

Howdy. Our old Bosch dishwasher is available free to anyone that wants it. It is working but does get an error from time to time indicating water in the base, so there is probably a seal issue that needs to be resolved.

A fabulous summer tournament sport week!
Beautiful weather at MAADI for our rowers, 3 crews through to semi finals and Grace and Sophie are rowing in a B final on Saturday. Our volleyball girls, playing in their first ever Volleyball Nationals, just won their final game. The team ended up 7th in Division 6, great first effort! The Marsden cricket team had a convincing win over Kapiti College, setting a tough target of 126 runs to take the Premier 2 Championship (Kapiti scored 82). The team performed the best they have all season and were excited to win and achieve their goal to remain unbeaten throughout the competition. Go Marsden!

We loved her messages of the importance of using privilege and power to make change, of getting to know people whose world view is different from your own, and of valuing the amazing care and support that comes with a Marsden education. A strong contingent of girls enjoyed a follow-up free and frank discussion with Madeleine and came away buzzing. Thank you Madeleine, we are so proud of you!

7 Window Treatment Trends for 2021

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

Wondering what the new year holds in store for interiors? Here are some of the window treatment trends we’ll be keeping an eye on in 2021.

Wondering what the new year holds in store for interiors? Here are some of the window treatment trends we’ll be keeping an eye on in 2021.

Warm neutrals: More than ever after 2020, we’re looking at our homes as tranquil retreats from a chaotic world. Calming, neutral tones take the lead - and although greys and whites continue to be popular, interior palettes are warming up. For contemporary neutrals consider colours like cream, oatmeal, sand and taupe.

Fear not though - neutrals don’t have to mean boring! Play on light and dark variations, subtle patterns and layering textures to keep things interesting.

Maximalism: In complete contrast to calming neutrals, maximalism is all about embracing clashing patterns, saturated colours and dynamic interior combinations.


Forget “less is more” - be bold and bring a little fun into your home this year!


Smart technology: Open and close your window treatments at the touch of a button with a remote or mobile app - or add them to your home automation system. Motorisation is taking off in Kiwi homes and curtains and blinds are no exception.

With an app you can pre-set your window treatments to open or close on a timer or do it instantly from your phone - even when you’re not at home.

Roof covered in Lichen, Moss and Mould?

Rebekah from Karori

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get your roof sprayed for lichen, moss and mould.

Autumn is the perfect time of year to get your roof sprayed for lichen, moss and mould.

The reason for this is because the safest chemicals require about 6 months and plenty of rain to fully complete their job.

After the chemicals are sprayed onto the roof they need around 4-6 hours of 'dry time'. This allows it to set onto the roof surface. After this, the chemicals will only reactivate when there is rainfall.

As Autumn and Winter is when we see the most rain, it is the optimal time to spray your roof.
