I was blog-hopping and came upon this lovely blog – A Beautiful Mess. I was looking at their home tour and discovered their kitchen. All the cabinets are painted with black chalkboard paint to make it easier for them to write messages and menus. How awesome is that? I have not come across any black kitchen cabinet before. Would love to have one like theirs.
I also love their vintage thermos collection on top of the cabinet.
Jonathan Adler is having an after Christmas sale right now. I was checking out their website last night and found a couple of things which I love. I think they would be perfect in my home. I wish I could get all of them. Here are what I adore :-
Futura Porcelain Bowl
Bobo Vertebrae Pillow
Large Shelter Island Catch-All
Now is a good time for Jonathan Adler’s fans to shop if they want to decorate their homes with its product.
Hey Peeps. Christmas has come and gone. I hope you all had a great time. In a few days’ time, we will be saying goodbye to 2011 and usher in the new year. One of the things in my to-do list for the new year is to get my home organized. My kitchen is on top of the list and then followed by my closet and the shoe closet. I was looking for some inspiration at Apartment Therapy and found some really nice and organized kitchens. Below are my favourites.
So neat and tidy
Very organized indeed.

I was at Sundance and saw a few items which are great for decorating the home this Christmas. If you are looking for some decor ideas, then do check them out. Here are my favourites.

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 love shopping for gifts, whether it is for birthdays, anniversaries, housewarming or Christmas. The next best thing after shopping is wrapping them. I get lots of inspiration on gift-wrapping from Pinterest. Having said that, I do find it quite difficult to shop for gifts for boys. Do you have this problem too? Well, maybe it is because I do not have a son so I do not really know what they like. Anyway, I just came across something really nice at Sundance. It is a Doggone Dogbone Wreath that is handcrafted in felted wool. This is a very cute wreath for a dog lover’s home.
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.
