Wow friends & family with memorable, easy & affordable at-home celebrations. UGC for party brands.

My name is Natalie Mayhew and I am the creative director & founder of Fern & Maple. I love to craft, to DIY and to create parties for both adults and children – or as I like to put it, “for bigs and littles alike.”

I was born in Wellington, New Zealand, and although I have ventured far from my Kiwi roots, I remain inspired by childhood memories of "acting" as an event stylist for my mom’s get-to

Backyard - BEFORE & AFTER
🪴⛲️🪴
Swipe through the before & after shots of the backyard. AFTER ➡️BEFORE ➡️AFTER ➡️BEFORE ➡️AFTER, AFTER & AFTER shots!

The backyard was basically a concrete slab with wire fence!
🪴⛲️🪴
We dug it all out and created a flow with functioning sections for outdoor living;

Fresco eating, comfortable lounging patio, grilling, firepit and a grass area.  Plus new fencing, trees and plants! Not in the images, potting area and gardening beds..it’s one of my favorite summer spaces now and I’ll miss it!
QUESTIONS WELCOME!

I’ll post more info in stories! AND I’ve also been sharing more of our new house build & move over the coming months!

Primary Bathroom - BEFORE & AFTER
🛁🛁🛁
You asked! Here are the before & after shots of the bathroom. Swipe for before and more after images!
I didn’t do the best before shots (I’ve put a video in my stories) but overview……🛁the primary used to have a Jack & Jill door to our son’s room. Then 2 more doors, one to a shower and the other to an old 90’s sauna. Very closed in!
It also had green tiled counters for a single basin and a mirror wall!
🛁🛁🛁
We gutted the entire bathroom; closed up the pass through door, tiled the walls with a vertical tile & herringbone accent wall, switched to a natural wood cabinet with quartz counters & a double sink. A luxe bath replaced the sauna, a deep shower with glass paneled wall and black matte fittings throughout.
QUESTIONS WELCOME!
I’ll post more info in stories! AND I’m also sharing more of our new house build & move over the coming months!

Come take a seat at my holiday table! I found the most beautiful holly & pine-wired ribbon and then the hunt was on! Look at all the beautiful red, green & holly-themed décor I found to complete the look! My favorites?….I love how cute are the water glasses look, as well as the little gift candles on each plate.

I found the perfect tree & ornaments to pair with this theme. I also found a beautiful wreath & centerpiece, and I switched out the ribbon to complete the look!
