I was in downtown over the weekend for some retail therapy. When I walked into one of the stores, something caught my eye. No, it wasn’t the clothes on display. Actually it is the display in the store. Two bamboo baskets were held together with ropes to create a lampshade. Ain’t that a cool idea? Such a simple and zen-inspired design.
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.
Besides looking for slimming pill that works, what I really need to do this weekend is to organize my refrigerator. I have a hard time finding what I want to look for in my fridge. You can imagine how messy it is. Sometimes, I even found food that has expired or turned moldy. I really should get a few airtight containers from The Container Store to keep things organized. Erasable food storage labels are a quick and easy way to identify and date food. So, do you mind sharing how your fridge looks like?
I was shopping for a housewarming gift for a dear friend and found some lovely items at Plumo.
Olive green boxes made from stained bamboo
Hanging baskets made from woven bamboo
Pretty painted lanterns
Mexican embroidered bird cushions
I absolutely adore these cute Bow Bins from AreaWare.com. Created by German designer, Cordula Kehrer, the bins are produced by the indigenous Aeta people of the Philippines via fair trade NGO Preda. These whimsical bins are made from sustainably harvested rattan and reclaimed bins. The rattan and colourful plastic combination is so eye-catching. I would love to have a few in my home.
While my spouse was reading a catalog on pool disability access lifts, I decided to surf the internet, looking for a housewarming gift for a friend. I was at H&M Home and came across so many gorgeous items. Should I also get a few things for my home too? Oh they really made me want to give my home a makeover. Here are a few things that caught my eye.
Woven Plastic For Storage
Printed Patchwork Cushion Cover
Textile Baskets
Cute Shower Curtain
Doormat
If you love having guests over for parties or dinners this summery, well head over to Swirl by DailyCandy. I absolutely adore its boho chic household items. Actually they look Asian to me.

Summer time means spending lots of time outdoors or long evenings on the porch. If you have lots of space in your home and also love spending your time swinging away, then you may want to check out some lovely swings. Check out this Barrel Swing from The Conran Shop. This charming swing chair is made of recycled French oak barrel staves from Stellenbosch Winery. It is suspended from nylon ropes. The swing can carry a maximum weight of 350lbs. There is nothing better than spending some cozy time with your loved ones on the swing.
You know how much I love products made from bamboos eh? Well, when I spotted these awesome idea from Pinterest, I just had to blog about it. Get a few bamboo steamers in different sizes (available at most Asian grocery stores), remove the bottom and glue the steamers together. When secured, hang the bamboo steamers on the wall with nails or picture hooks and use them as storage. A very unique and eco-friendly way to store small items and even portable baby monitors if you like.
