Show & Tell - Master Bedroom Toilet

My toilet in the master bedroom is finally looking abit more put together. Actually I'm glad the beveled mirror I originally wanted didnt materialised in the end. Should I thank Mr X for the boo boo he made. We went to Chinatown and customised our own mirror, I loved it, it's classic and it look matches the English tap :)

Black & White Dinner Party

I invited my colleagues over for dinner, mainly to eat Eva's Salted Duck Soup, which is ze best thing in the world. Well just 2 days before the event, I decided that while work is already busy enough, I could attempt to push my stress to its limits. I wanted a theme, yap but simple enough to execute in 2 days. I rushed out immediately after deciding that night to grab a black linen table cloth, black paper plates (for the kiddies) and black serviettes. I wanted to buy a top hat and some moustache, but I couldnt find them anywhere :(

Eva didnt want to wash any more crockery for this dinner, I had to use disposables (yucky but no choice), I had to figure out how to dress up the disposables and glam them up.

Day 2 - I made paper napkin rings (tribute to to the Duck), printed out printed baroque placemats and even dragged out my old black bamboo mats. I even manage to print and cut out paper moustache which turned out so great fun, am glad I had something silly for photos.

Not too bad with 2 days effort :) Pat Pat

Christmas Eve Dinner Party

We invited over another group of old friends over on Christmas Eve, its home warming cum Christmas party rolled into one.

I decided to do a formal setting. I dug out my maroon table runner (I had it since floral recipes days), and I'm so pleased that its long enough for the dining table. And I get to use the crystal glasses mother gave me, now let the pictures do its talking.

Merry Xmas Everyone

Tea Party

This entry is rather late, I had my tea party a few weeks ago. I should taken more pictures but I was rather lazy that day, wanted to just chill out with my friends. I made popcorn cones out of lace doily and had them standing in white wire baskets. I printed out some sheets of baroque print and joined them up to make into a long table runner. I did all these on the eve of the party till 2am, cause I had no idea on the decorations. I guess when time is running out, the ideas just keep coming.

Oh yes, the beautiful blue teapot cake belongs to Jo and Shu, we did a surprise party for the both of them :)

Chesterfield Sofa

I thought I will be smarter when it comes to home decorating for the second home, but I was so WRONG!!!. I made so many boo boos and with limited funds, I could only grumbled at myself silently.

Of course, my darling HB knows about it eventually, I have somehow or other 'mentioned' that I want to sell our sofa. He dared me to sell our sofa and buy my dream chesterfield. I know no one will pay so much money to buy online, and I didnt really want to sell it at a big loss.

We went Courts to just 'take a walk' this afternoon, and I saw it. Dark purple velvet with brown sexy legs, no ugly studs. Just simple and very comfortable. my dear Chesterfield, please wait for me, if money falls down from the sky, I will definitely come and get you :)

Show & Tell - Our New House

My coffee table finally arrived and we went down yesterday to collect from Egg3.My cream butterfly sideboard arrived in the same afternoon, I got happy busy arranging stuff around. Finally a cupboard to put all our slippers!!! You must be thinking why buy a cabinet to put only slippers, what about shoes?

Well, we do have a shoe cabinet but we built it into the storeroom, BIG MISTAKE!!! I didn't want to put the shoe cabinet in the hall, cause I wouldn't know how the shoe cabinet can sit with the rest of the house. So me being really dumb dumb told the contractor to built the shoe cabinet into the storeroom using up the precious storeroom space. I did not confess my mistake to my HB, but I pretty sure he knows it deep inside :(

What to do with old photo frames

I wanted to hang the ikea black frames on the wall opposite the gaming area, next to my oddjects clock. Unfortunately, they stick out like a sore thumb, dun noe whether its the frame design or the subjects in the frames (which is us!). Anyway, I decided the ikea frames are really crap, so I ordered a whole bunch of frames from etsy, see below. Nice right?



I decided not to throw away the ikea frames, and I spent an afternoon goggling for free prints. This is how it turn out. I put it on Eva's sideboard and the frame managed to cover the wire of the lamp, so pleased that it has a dual purpose. Good Night.
