Gosh...my blogchat is almost rock bottom of this forum.

Got some new stuffs for our home during the christmas sale, we have a pair of new cushion covers, a pendant light known as FLY by Kartell, and in our bedroom we have replace the wedding lamp that we got from IKEA with 2 side table lamps known as TAKE by Kartell.

Just back from our holidays in Bintan, things are rocket-high expensive but we cannot resist ourselves from buying things. We got some wooden batik cats and 2 batik prints for our home, shall post pics later...

Our living room...we managed to decorate our living room with some old picture frames, my photography prints and some donated items like clear vase, pebbles and bamboos. Heard that it is good feng shui to have bamboos at home...

The cat looks like $80+ but I got it for $20+ from Vietnam, no sure if it is pirated but the feel of the cat is that same and even the brand label is the same too.

My wall colour is a customised paint that I got from ICI, the green in my living room is called Banyan Tree but I think it is no longer in the new season paint colour of ICI. It is a muted green. I think you can find something close from Nippon named Kiwi.

Just browse through our T-blog for the pictures and ideas. Thanks, everyone wants a nice home to stay in...so have to put in extra effort to beautify our home.

think those sold in taka is made in vietnam so it's cheaper there

really good bargain :deal::good:

the TAKE lamp is :dribble::seeya:

although it might look a little like the ikea one, it just has a elegance that ikea simply can't match :D

Hi Mist,

Congrats that you are going to be a Mother soon!

Well...Bintan is never a paradise for shoppers, things are limited and super expensive! Everything is double cost and in SGD. I got myself 2 batik prints that can frame up for my wall and my wife got herself some clothes and wooden batik cats from the shopping village.

We have been in our "2 people world" for 8yrs +++ already, and in fact we are looking forward to a kid but we have just exhausted our money on our reno and wedding so need some time save up before having a kid. Then we are also thinking of going to Australia for a proper honeymoon before settle down with a kid but we will need to save up all over again if we go for this trip. Sigh...then we wanna have our 1st kid before we hit 30 loh....very contradicting hor. I also dunno how.

I think a marriage is incomplete without children loh. I love kids and believe everything is worthwhile for a them.

I have an empty room which I am looking forward to convert it into a children room, hopefully in the near future. I guess my design inspiration will only arrive when we know that we going to be father and mother.

The picture in the photo with lantern is purchased from my Bintan holiday...it is titled Tsunami, it is a dramatic piece of art. Cheap and most rewarding deal for the holiday, $30 for the only piece.
