About

Welcome to my site.

If you love interiors, home building journeys, beautiful homewares, DIY, shopping & of course, fabulous Stilettos, you have come to the right place.

I’m Em Pearman, the face behind Stilettos & Bricks. I’m a “thirty something” year old, full time product stylist, content creator & social media influencer, with an unhealthy addiction to caffeine, designer handbags & shoes!

I live for interiors & can literally spend hours touring display homes, strolling through furniture & homewares stores, discovering new products & keeping up with the latest design trends.

I am also a self confessed beauty lover, with a shamelessly embarrassing collection of makeup & skincare……..let’s just say, I have no intention of growing old gracefully.

I was born in Tasmania & as my Dad was in the RAAF, we moved alot during my early childhood, finally settled in Perth, Western Australia, where I still reside today.

I live with my amazing hubby Adam, our gorgeous 11 year old daughter Ava & our two very spoilt cats, Walter & Wong.

We are currently embarking on designing & building our dream home on the beach, so stick around, read my blog & subscribe to be inspired by the lastest trends, products & handy tips, as well as enjoy a few laughs along the way.

A few fun facts about me……

• I’m a hairdresser by trade, a beauty therapist & makeup artist

• After being a stay at home mum for several years, I decided on a career change & completed several online interior & home stages courses, as well as volunteering with a home staging business to gain extra experience.

• In my spare time I love to spend time with my family & friends, go shopping, read interior / fashion magazines & watch makeup tutorials on YouTube.

• My ideal way to relax is to have a day of pampering at a spa or salon.

• We love to travel & experience different cultures, food & meet new people.

I look forward to sharing my loves, favorite products, latest finds, tips, tricks & insights into my fun Stilettos & Bricks life.

Be sure to clink the links below to follow my Social channels & don’t forget to subscribe to my email alerts, I promise I won’t bombard or bore you.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Love Em xxx

Lately I've been sharing some of my top tips on ho

Lately I've been sharing some of my top tips on how to better organise your home & hopefully keep it that way.
Tonight's focus is on the bathroom......
(I should start by admitting that while I'm good at organising things, I'm yet to master the art of training 🙊.......I mean teaching Ad's to put his dirty clothes in the laundry hamper & not throw them down next to it & don't even get me started on the whole changing the empty toilet roll thing 🤦‍♀️ btw, I'm looking at you too Miss Ava!)
1. Keep your vanity top free from clutter. If you, or the members of your family, tend to leave items out, like hair elastics or makeup, have an empty clear container or tray in the cupboard to put them into, this helps to get into the routine of putting things away.
2. Regularly go through your vanity cupboard & dispose of expired items, like makeup & skincare. On the back of beauty products you'll find a small symbol that looks like a container with the lid lifted up, inside the symbol with have a number followed by the letter M, for example 24M, this means the product has 24mth from opening until it expires.
3. If your bathroom is used by guests, you can discretely hide items away, like what I've done here with these @ikea_australia magazine holders. I simply added a wooden knob to each one for easy access & store feminine products in one & facial sheet masks in the other.
4. Use drawer dividers in your vanity drawers & store similar items together. I also use containers with lids in various sizes to store items like bobbi pins, hair elastics, cotton buds ect.
5. If you're short on space, use the inside of your vanity doors to store & hang things. Adding a hook for your hair straightener or blow dryer works great & helps free up more space.

My top Linen Cupboard Organisation Tips 👌 #stil

My top Linen Cupboard Organisation Tips 👌 #stilettosbricksstyle
1. Go through your items & purge those pieces you no longer use. If items are in good condition donate them to a local charity. I like to keep a few old towels & sheets on hand, which I store in the laundry, for cleaning or diy painting jobs.
2. Categorise your linen & store them according to how regularly you use & change them. I keep bath & hand towels, bath mats, toilet rolls & pillowcases on the middle shelves where they're easy to access.
3. Use baskets or boxes to store & separate your linen. I love these @targetaus baskets ones as well as the @ikea_australia cube boxes for my sheets & doona covers.
4. Storage bags are essential & a great way to protect items. I use the @ikea_australia zip up storage bags for my summer/winter doonas, spare throw rugs & cushions. If you're lacking space in your linen cupboard you can easily store these under beds too.
5. Keep your linen fresh. I always have a reed diffuser & linen spray in our closet to keep everything smelling fresh & clean
6. Fold your items neatly, yes I know, folding laundry is a crappy task but it honestly makes a huge difference, it saves so much space & makes it easy to find what you're looking for.
I hope you enjoyed these tips, stay tuned for more of my organisation ideas coming your way soon ❤

Here are 10 of my top tips to organising your kitc

Here are 10 of my top tips to organising your kitchen & keeping it that way 👌
1. I love using lazy susan turntables for items we use alot in the fridge, pantry & cleaning cupboard. This saves space & makes it easier to find everything.
2. Use wire office book or magazine holders, available from @targetaus @kmartaus or @officeworks to store your baking trays, chopping boards & even saucepan lids in your cupboards
3. Use your cupboard doors to store items such a your dust pan & brush, teatowels & microfibre clothes. My favourite teatowel holders are from @freedom_australia
4. Use spice trays to hold your herbs. I love the @josephjosephofficial ones
5. Place items you don't use regularly to the back of cupboards or up high.
6. Create an extra pantry in a drawer if you have one, this has truly made a huge difference finding things & has given us so much extra room in our normal pantry.
7. Use air tight storage containers for a much a you can. I recommend using rectangular ones as I find round containers waste too much space.
8. Use Labels, I love these @justlabelit_ ones ❤
9. Adjustable drawer shelves, available from @howardsstorage or @kmartaus are great for stacking canned goods & double the amount of available storage in your pantry.
10. Use baskets in your pantry for snacks, school lunch items & packets, again I would recommend square or rectangular ones to save on space.
I hope you enjoyed these tips & let me know if you would like me to share more xxx
FYI - I have used the @targetaus containers here in our pantry drawer in 3 sizes 1000ml, 1500ml & 2000ml

I'm often asked how do I keep things organised & c

I'm often asked how do I keep things organised & clean in our home?
So I thought I would share some of my top tips that work great for our home & might be suitable for you too -
1. Make sure everything has it's own "home", if it doesn't, create one.
2. For every new item you bring in, rehome, donate or discard an item out.
3. Set up a designated area for keys, sunglasses, your handbag, mail etc. I use our console table just off our entry way. You can get creative with adding wall hooks, baskets or decorative bowls to keep things stylish yet functional
4. Think about your families daily routine & create your organisation around that
5. Use a cleaning routine & tick the jobs off as you & your family complete them. I'm currently working on an updated version & will share it with you all when it's finished.
6. Put a dustpan & brush in every bathroom
7. Add a small bin to every room. This one has made a huge difference, especially in the bathroom & toilet for those annoying empty toilet rolls 🤦‍♀️
8. Use labels, I find this helps Adam & Ava to put things back in the right spot.
9. Lists, I love having lists to keep me on task, from the shopping list in our pantry, a weekly planner on the office wall & a personal To Do List. See a few posts back for the one I recently set up.
10. Don't hold onto those "just incase" items, they create unnecessary clutter. Let's face it, we've all had that outfit that we will wear when we lose 5kgs, or the shoes that give us blisters but they're just so cute.......... it's time to let them go 👌
