Furnishing My Home!

Lately, there has been a strange problem with my laptop.  Tabs have been opening and closing by themselves.  It happens every few minutes.   I have run spyware and malware programmes on the laptop but to no avail.  This is very frustrating indeed.  Since we cannot solve this problem, my husband intends to get another laptop or maybe a desktop computer.  He has been reading the computer reviews online to find out more.  There are so many choices available now.  My husband is also interested in getting a netbook too since he will be traveling quite a lot in the next few months.  Since he is looking into buying computers, I better start shopping for a new workstation. I am inspired by the workstation below.

A co-worker is planning to re-do her bathroom and she asked me if I have any ideas to share with her.  She also told me that she has been shopping around for hand dryers as she intends to have one in her bathroom too.  My friend does not want the decor to be too overwhelming.  A minimal bathroom with lots of storage space is what she is looking for.   I was looking at IdealMagazine.co.uk and found some really great bathroom inspiration. I hope my friend would get some good ideas from them.

A zen-inspired bathroom. I like the sink.

An almost-white bathroom with Moroccan-style storage.  Reusable wall stickers can be applied to jazz up the wall.

While browsing my favorite home decor blogs, I can’t help but noticed some very beautiful decors.  Looking at these blogs is a beautiful adventure for me.  They really gave me lots of inspiration on how to decorate my home.  Some of my favorites are these…

Love the blue window panes.  Via sfgirlbybay.com

A bright and airy kitchen.  I love the mismatched chairs, stools and the little blue fridge.  Via decor8blog.com.

Another lovely kitchen filled with basket for storage.   Don’t you just love the wooden floor? Also via decor8blog.com.

Besides being able to find the hair loss cure for my thinning crown, some of the things that make me very happy are seeing homes that are tastefully decorated.  I was browsing Apartment Therapy and came across a few homes which I simply love.  One of them is called a “Flea Market Faboosh” where the owner used different colors on her walls, decorated her home with paintings, postcards and all kinds of accessories which she found at flea markets.  I love how she used different chairs and sofas for her living area.  It has left me so inspired.

love the kitchen too

I love to look at the kitchens in other people’s home.  They give me an idea on how to decorate mine.  Well, if I have the chance, I would want to renovate my existing kitchen because I do not quite like mine.  The kitchens below really inspire me.  I saw them at one of my favorite home decor blogs but I forgot which one.

I was browsing my favorite decor blogs last night and came across so many wonderful decors which left me so inspired.  I am amazed at the creativity of these talented home owners.  They have created homes which beckons you at the end of a long day.  I can picture myself in one of these homes, relaxing or curled up on the sofa reading a book or hydroxycut side effects review. I am so inspired to try these new home decorating ides.  My favorite is the DIY Coffee Tables made from pallets.

I love the eclectic look of these mismatched bookcases.

I just love this idea from Martha Stewart’s blog.   If you don’t know already, I love using furniture or knick-knacks made from bamboo or wood.  I was going through some tips on how to organize the kitchen at Martha’s blog, I was delighted to see how she use a bamboo steamer to store onions, shallots and garlic.  How come I never thought of using this eh?  Bamboo steamers have holes which let the air in or out when steaming.  Therefore, these steamers are just perfect for storing items which require ventilation.   You can place a tray or plate at the bottom to catch flaking skins or perhaps line it with paper towels.  Ok, I am going out to get a few bamboo steamers soon.

This beautiful house in Denmark which I chanced upon at Design-Shimmer.blogspot.com is a house that I would love to stay in.  I heart its decor.  The walls, floors, doors and windows are in shades of white.  This house has a rustic look and I just love the wicker baskets around the house.  The wood furniture and brown rugs add some earthy tones in the house.  I can picture myself sitting at the dining table, enjoying my cuppa or simply reading a book or my face cream reviews. Pure bliss.

Sisters of Pearl is a 30-episode TVB drama which I cannot wait to watch online.  It stars some of my favorite artistes such as Jessica Hsuan, Kiki Sheung, Bowie Lam and Michael Tao.  This is the first time that Jessica is portrayed as a villianess.

Besides watching dramas online, I also do a lot of work on my computer. I feel that my workstation is need of a makeover to help me organize things in a better manner.  A makeover will also help me to enhance my productivity.  I got some inspiration from my favorite home decor blogs, Apartment Therapy and DesignIsMine.blogspot.com.  Here are a few of my favorite work spaces.

I am so loving these wonderful things which I saw while blog-hopping.
