Furnishing My Home!

I saw this beautiful home at one of my favourite home decor blogs – Sfgirlbybay.com and fell totally head over heads in love with it.  It has got a  funky edge to it.   I adore the dining area.  I love how mismatched chairs are used.   Did I tell you that I love mismatched chairs?

Check out the living area. Love the little dashes of pink and blue against the white background.

Another part of the house that I like. The bathroom.  Check out the lovely red curtains which is great to add some colours to the bathroom.  I like the white timber flooring and the white mirror.  Actually I like the whole place.  I can picture myself relaxing in the bathtub, reading the managed hosting service catalog or a book.

I found some really creative ideas from OhHelloFriendBlog.com just now.  It is so interesting to see these cool ideas being transformed from vintage items.  I find it very inspiring.  I think the next time when I am at the flea market, I would pay more attention to every thing there.  Who knows what I can find eh?

Besides visiting home decor blogs and finding hidden gems for the home, I also love shopping for jewelry.  Christmas is over and guess what is the next occasion I am looking forward to?  It is Mother’s Day.  Though still a few months away, it is never too early to start looking for broach jewelry gifts for mom. I found some really stylish necklaces and bracelets for my mom. Now I just need to check with my siblings which one they like.  Then I am going to browse some of my favourite blogs for some inspiration on how to make my own gift box or gift bag.  How’s that?

I have been spending the last few days trying to de-clutter my home.  I have done the living room and the kid’s bedroom.  Today, the first day of 2011, I am trying to organize my closet.  I need to find more space for my clothes, especially for my new dereon pants and top. I received a clear underbed shoe organizer for Christmas and I am going to use that to store all my summer shoes.  This practical and space-saving organizer is great to keep my shoes dust free.
