Furnishing My Home!

Remember that I mentioned earlier about my friend who is renovating her home and her favourite colours are yellow and gray?  I just saw some really great bedding products at Rough Linen.  These fine bedlinens are made from natural linen.  I just love its texture.  I think my friend would be interested in getting them for her newly renovated home.  Actually I don’t mind getting them a linen set or ms70 gold eagles as housewarming gifts. The photo below is from Rough Linen’s website.  I love how driftwoods are used as headboard.

I saw this simple bedroom at Simply Grove and fell in love with it.  The whole bedroom is in white including the wooden floor.  I would love to have a bedroom like this.   The colourful cushions are just perfect to give the room a a splash of colours. Love it!

Here is another kid’s bedroom idea.

I love the splashes of bold and fun colours.

I was surfing the internet to find out about how to make eyelashes grow when my friend called and asked me to check out these cool furniture made from cardboards.  I am so loving their Paperpedic Bed which features folded paper panels that form an incredible strong and beautiful base.  The Paperpedic Bed is made of 100% recyclable cardboards.  Available in single, queen and king size.  The bed can be easily assembled in 10 minutes.

Paired with the Paperpedic Bed is this cute Paperpedic Bedside Table. Great for putting your lamp, alarm clock, a book and etc.

So Halloween has come and gone.  Time sure flies.  Did you take your kids out for Halloween?  The weather is getting colder now eventhough it’s only the beginning of November.  I should really get my down jackets at RockyMountainTrail.com this winter.  While blog-hopping just now, I came across this really charming apartment in Paris which has a vintage touch to it.  It is a small apartment which is tastefully decorated.  My favourite rooms are

The kitchen

The bedroom.  Check out the fruit boxes being used as storage on top of the cupboard.

I was at OhDeeDoh and saw this cute coffee table made from cable spool.  You know how much I love furniture or knick-knacks made from recycled items eh?  Not only is this a great idea as table, I also love how this wooden cable spool offers storage for books around the edge. Very inspiring. If only I can get my hands one.  I would love to turn it into bedside table for me where I can lay down my glacier sunglasses, a vase and a cup of coffee.

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby and both she and her husband are interested in converting their study room into a nursery.  They are staying in a 2-bedroom apartment in downtown.  She was asking me if I can provide her with some ideas on how to decorate the nursery.  My friend would love to have a simple decor.  I went to check out some of my favourite home decor blogs and saw this simple nursery decor at Simply Grove.

I also like this nursery decor from Ikea.  It looks simple and cozy to me.  Perhaps my friend may want to get some halloween accessories to decorate the nursery since she is due to give birth about 2 weeks before Halloween.

I was helping a friend to look up the Marcus medical uniforms when my spouse handed me a copy of Skona Hem, a home decor magazine.  I was so taken by this home which was featured in the magazine.  It is such a cozy place filled with natural and reclaimed materials.  I love the wood colours in the home.  The walls of the home was roughed up with some cement to add texture.  Here are some pics of the lovely home.

love the wooden dining table

The kitchen is made with Ikea cabinets with custom  doors made from salvaged wood.  Such a rustic feel.

The bedroom

A couple of days ago, I received one of the cutest birthday party invitations ever. It has a picture of an elephant on the card. Well lately, I am just crazy over elephants.  These gentle giants just make my heart melt.  I have since jumped on the elephant bandwagon and have been looking around for elephant decors for my home.   I chanced upon a few accessories which I really like.

Thomas Paul Elephant Beddings

Elephant Pillows from Modern Dose

Organic Hamper for Kids’ Bedroom from UnCommonGoods

Elephant Wall Prints from Etsy

I saw this cute wall clock idea at decor8 just now.  A great way to decorate the nursery or your little ones’ room.  It is a Passe-Partout photo frame clock which you can fill with colourful prints, photographs or gift wrap for the unique look.    This clock is available at Dutch by Design.  Perhaps I should try my hands on doing one too once I have done reading about the disability insurance.  It looks pretty easy to do eh?  Just get the center timepiece with arms and  12 different sizes photo frames.   Time to let the creative juice flow.

I have been looking around for a dresser for my bedroom.  I already have one but need an extra dresser to keep my things.  My bedroom furniture is in brown and are mostly made of wood.  So when I saw this cute Ordinal Dresser from Anthropologie, I was thrilled.  It is just perfect for my bedroom.  I love its rustic look.   The Ordinal Dresser features a metal top.  I can picture this dresser in my bedroom, keeping my clothes and accessories such as my scott kay rings and bracelets neatly.
