Hi, sure. Here you go: Apple decor: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.38.829N1Z&id=39543144483&_u=f1taaa02cb45 Chestnut decor: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.45.829N1Z&id=38127371133&_u=f1taaa02a03d Apple vase: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.52.829N1Z&id=13194466857&_u=f1taaa0229eb

Yes, recently Sanrio collaborated with Laura Ashley for this collection. It is all in soft pink featuring roses. very tempting indeed! So far I only purchased a tiny plush & 2 files. trying very hard to resist the rest of them.. I know what you mean. The art posters would stand out more on a plain wall as compared to a patterned wall.

Thanks! Yes, I'm an ardent fan of Hello Kitty^^ I've been reading your blog, your house is very nicely done up in soft sweet colors, especially your WIW, with the Laura Ashley feel. Did you know that there is a Laura Ashley Kitty too? Hehe I bought the art posters but I have no idea where they will go yet.. Maybe they will work if you hang them near a vanity paired with a vase of flowers?

Hi CountryGlow, Thanks! The sleeping area will only have a bed with a small bedside table, probably just enough space to walk in. We'll have to make do cos the MBR is really small & we do not want to hack into the other room. The other corner I hacked will have a white-framed window that looks into my toy room. I'm thinking to style it like a boutique. The type where you look in a shop window & see lots of stuff displayed everywhere. I have always wanted my own "boutique" so it will be like a dream come true^^ Here are the links: Laundry bag: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.73.SYGShT&id=39404618217&ns=1&_u=d1taaa02b2a6&abbucket=14#detail Art posters of shoes, purse & perfume: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.9.135.AuuYEu&id=35302053670&_u=d1taaa021d38

Feeling happy today cos it's mid-week already! 2 more days to weekend & we'll be able to go down to our new place to see the progress. Expecting some carpentry to be up by end of week. In the meantime, here are some stuff that I can't wait to dig out of storage to use (with hubby's consent of course), colorful things that add the cute & playful vibe to our little home^^ Hello Kitty curtain & decor: Hello Kitty for the kitchen: Hello Kitty storage stuff:

After purchasing the essential stuff, next up is the decor stuff. I am a person who cannot resist pretty /cute stuff (especially when they are cheap or on sale) so I may have ended up purchasing more of what I actually needed. I have no idea where I'm going to place them yet.. Decor stuff: Clocks, various knick-knacks Decor stuff: - art /wall prints Decor stuff: fake flowers /plants to add some color.. By searching for roses, did I find out that apparently there are different types of roses - eg. french roses, lovers' roses, etc...so interesting. Storage stuff: sauce holder, washing powder holder & laundry bag.

Hehe.. since hubby left most of the home planning to me, after being given the go-ahead, I went crazy online shopping! These are my Taobao purchases. I classified them as “essential” & “décor” stuff. I was actually pretty amazed that I could find a bar counter that looked exactly like the one in my inspiration pic above, hope the actual item turns out ok. Essential stuff: furniture Essential stuff: lighting for the whole house Essential stuff: bathroom fittings

Renovation is a very exciting process because it is the creation of your dream home. As things start to move along & slowly fall into place, now is also the time to consider what items to purchase for the new home, especially when it involves some big ticket items. We narrowed down to a list of the most important stuff for each space, also need to consider factors such as budget, size, etc. The rest of the other stuff can come later.

Our friend (who does commercial) will help us with our renovation. So first thing we did was to start with tile selection. We went to Hafary: Soon Bee Huat & Hup Keong & came back with these sample tiles: We are using the same tile throughout our home so we needed a color which was very light but yet easy to maintain.

This is the inspiration board I came up with for MBR. Fell in love with the pink + black color combi so decided to have MBR done in these 2 colors. I was very inspired by the black glass pane so I wanted to have a partition separating the bed from the wardrobe area. Wanted a squeeze out a mini WIW with the pole system since we can't afford any other space for a wardrobe, but looks to be not sufficient for our clothes. Hmm.. have to modify further...

Firstly , to make it easier, I think it is important to narrow down to some key points to consider, for eg, 1) who are the people living there? 2) how long are you going to live there? 3) what kind of feel do you want? Our main considerations: 1) Simple & comfy feel, with cute elements. 2) No floor – need to source for tiles in a very light shade of grey for entire house (for a bright airy feel). 3) No door – need to source 3 bedroom doors, 2 bathroom doors & 1 kitchen door. Living room: Color palette: mainly white + black. 1) shoe cabinet divider between entrance & dining area. 2) grey sofa, grey wall. 3) black TV, console, coffee table, ceiling fan. 4) round white dining table + 4 chairs. Kitchen: Color palette: white + black. 1) Full cabinets on 1 side. 2) Half-height cabinets on the other side with shelving for oven. 3) Concrete support for sink area. 4) White countertop. Master bedroom: Color palette: pink + black. 1) full height partition to separate bed from wardrobe. 2) pole system wardrobe to save space. 3) white dresser closets. 4) black bedframe. My toy room: Color palette: light pink + white. 1) PC desk. 2) add a window. 3) large display shelf. 4) bookshelves. Hubby’s game room: Color palette: light blue. 1) PC desk + work desk, 2) ceiling fan. 3) sofa bed.
