Hennie Rattan Chairs

Admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:55:09 +0000

I am loving these Hennie Chair from Serena & Lily. The reason being is the chairs are made of rattan. They remind me of the chairs in my parent’s home. My mother loves rattan chairs and we have a few of these though in different designs. Do you know that it is very easy to clean rattan chairs? You can just wipe them with a wet cloth or hose them down with water. I love the designs of the Hennie Chair. It looks great with a throw pillow in bold colour or prints.

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.

I have a thing for mismatched chairs in the dining area. I have written about this a few times in my blog. Just love the looks of the mismatched chairs. It is charming and a great way to express yourself creativity. Don’t you find that eclectic? I am often inspired by the ones I see in my favourite decor blogs. Hopefully I can do that to my dining room. Just have to find the right mismatched chairs.

Outdoor Dining Inspiration

Admin — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:01:26 +0000

Two days ago, I spent the evening at my girlfriend’s home. It was so much fun having dinner at her place. We talked about fashion, food and even mens diamond watches. I really enjoyed spending time with her especially when we dined outdoor since the weather is so nice. On the way home, I can’t help but wish for an outdoor wooden dining table with benches and chairs, hanging d-i-y mason jar lamps and having guests over every weekend. Wouldn’t it be great if I can eat my meal outside?

a home i love

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.

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

Re-purposed Wooden Pallets

Admin — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:54:02 +0000

I love to see wooden pallets being upcycled as home furniture. I have come across articles about wooden pallets being treated with chemicals hence they are not very suitable as furniture. I wonder if there is a way to remove the chemical. Would any of you know? When I was at Pinterest, I found a few wonderful ideas on how wooden pallets are re-purposed as furniture. It is pretty inspiring.

Great Use For Old Doors

Admin — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 08:17:50 +0000

I just saw this lovely idea on Tatertots and Jello. I love how an old door is being used as a table. The owner found this old door in the barn and then decided to turn it into an outdoor table. She painted it blue and stenciled some words on it. Ain’t it gorgeous?

This is so inspiring. Now I want to go find some old doors and turn them into tables too.
