.::Home Décor Ideas::.

I’ve been wanting to blog about some home décor ideas since last October (!!!) but somehow didn’t get to it lol. I have this entire folder of pictures with décor ideas that I collected and thought I will share it here for future reference.

These pics are mostly from Facebook’s interior design pages as well as renovation forums (credits to the pictures' owners).So inspired when I see them, I hope I don’t bust my renovation budget in time to come lol. Bf and I went to Ikea and lighting shops to look around sometime ago, I know it’s still too early but need to check out market price first so we can set a budget and start saving =p

Already have some inkling what features I want though I am not sure if I want to set a theme =p it’s mostly rojak now, here goes!

Living Room

both of us love to drink so a mini bar in the living room corner will be perfect. concoct some drinks here and then watch tv or chit chat at the bar, wah shiok!

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

my brother bought this chandelier recently for our current living room. freaking chio! i want something like this next time too!

Photobucket

love love love chandeliers. this is something different and very bold. look like a scene from a garden, probably cause of the street lamp look-alike!

Photobucket

interesting tv feature wall, i will like some texture on my tv feature wall next time as well. either bricks or some 3D design

PhotobucketPhotobucket

i am sitting on the fence about brick walls (scandinavian theme) as it looked too raw for me but i think a partial brick wall like below will be a nice touch to an otherwise plain wall

Photobucket

this is for winnie the pooh fans! i find it cute, winnie the pooh had always been my favourite disney cartoon :) this will be good for kids' room maybe but too overkill for living room.

Photobucket

Bedrooms

i seriously want a see-through master bedroom toilet, bf says i am crazy =x but i am quite set on this lol

PhotobucketPhotobucket

pretty room co-ordination but the whole room in lilac is too girly for us, i think i will 很快就看腻. love the rough wallpaper and matching bedframe + headboard though

Photobucket

besides that, I don't have much inspiration for bedrooms yet lol.

Bathrooms

NEED: a seater in the shower area for lazy moments. bf say this will waste water cause sit down too relaxed, mai get out of the shower haha!

Photobucket

conflict between rainshower and bathtub. both seems cool. maybe will consider rainshower in 1 toilet and bathtub in another toilet so we can get the best of both worlds in 1 house. space for the bathtub is a problem though.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

half glass panels instead of full ones. people usually do full glass panels for the shower area yeah?

Photobucket

i think blue and white is a lovely colour combination for bathrooms, got the 清新的感觉!

Photobucket

this waterfall tap is too cute!!!

Photobucket

Kitchen

i love to cook and bake so the kitchen is very important! top most NEED: oven! my ideal kitchen colour is wine red, so classy! i will wanna stay in it all day to cook haha #justsaying

Photobucket

this shade of red is too red for me but the colour placing and coordination with the dining area is nice. love the kitchen glass door!

PhotobucketPhotobucket

i also plan to hack my service yard walls away and extend my kitchen. see the difference!!!

Photobucket

playing with the idea of open concept kitchen but the downside is that if you cook often, the living room will get oily very easily.

Photobucket

looking at my floor plan, this kitchen island layout from ikea should work for my house. but i dunno if i want open concept lehhh. chio but hard to maintain.

Photobucket

another idea from ikea: iron rods to hold the utensils and mosaic backsplash for an industrial look

Photobucket

Walk-in-Wardrobe

still trying to convince bf to do a WIW for my never-ending clothes, bags and shoes =x

Photobucket

compartments for earrings, necklaces and watches~~~ 一目了然。right now, my accessories are all packed together and it's so hard remembering what i have and finding what i want every morning. end up no time i just anyhow pick and rush out.

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Miscellaneous

Top favourite of mine: mini lights on the ceiling! Looks like stars no? I loveee this and I must have it! I used to paste glow-in-the-dark stars on my room's ceiling for I love looking at them before I sleep, so this will be like a childhood dream come true hehehe

Photobucket

Was worried initially that no one in SG does lights this way as the pic was of an overseas house. BUT I saw one of the local ID firm sharing this pic and tadah, I think this works for me as well. lol a much subtle version of the above pic but at least I know it's feasible =p

Photobucket

will it be too overkill if i place these blue star lights on the ceiling ? lol. this is from ikea by the way, S$12 only!

Photobucket

as mentioned in my earlier entries on taiwan travelogue, we bought this jigsaw puzzle over there. will piece them together and frame it up to hang in the living room/bedrooms

PhotobucketPhotobucket

photos or polaroids are a good way to decorate the wall as well!

PhotobucketPhotobucket

wardrobe or door handles that i've seen at hotels recently, super bling and pretty! especially the swarovski look-alike handle omg~~~ swarovski handle at changi village hotel and the silver mosaic handle at our kaohsiung minsu.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

cute to have such a decal sticker pasted on the bomb shelter door. paris is 1 of my dream city to visit!

Photobucket

that's a portion of what i have collected so far for past few months. i have more pics but these are my favourites and more relevant to local flat sizes lol. will share again in future if i find more pics :)

silly him made this collage using an old pic of us, this was taken at phuket in 2011 while we were riding ATV, i look so cock lol.

Photobucket

countdown the night before at his friend's house, we had a potluck party and a belated xmas gift exchange lol. there were bee hoon, curry chicken, sushi, sashimi, salad, roasted chicken and 12 cupcakes for dessert yum!

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

the girls played mahjong and watched different countries' countdown on cable tv while the guys played poker.

taipei 101's fireworks rocks! so pretty! maybe i will try counting down there 1 year but our taipei friend told us the crowd is crazy!

played mj till 2am, 1st day of 2013 already lost at mahjong, whattttt haha...

on new year's day, bf and i went for a movie and dinner. watched jackie chan's CZ 12. i kind of like it as it's funny and smooth actions from the man jackie chan himself. worth the PH price ticket!

our oftd shot at the cathay

PhotobucketPhotobucket

took this photo and realized we captured the poster behind nicely in the frame haha. very obvious who's the wolf and who's the sheep in our case! 7年前, 小绵羊被色狼骗了 hoo hoo hoo =x

there were no queue as we reached at about 8.30pm. got a seat pretty fast and service was attentive to the point of annoyance lol. it was all good at first as the staff recommended some dishes to us. after ordering, i just want some privacy and quiet moments to chit chat with bf but the waitress keep coming over every few minutes to ask if everything is ok and whether we need anything else. our conversation keep getting interrupted!!! but ok nvm food came next and it made me less annoyed. HEE

the MUST-order sashimi moriwase! consists of salmon, swordfish, tuna and amberjack

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

each slice is super thick la!

Photobucket

chawanmushi, soft shell crab and mentaiko cod fish. all taste superb! egg and fish was smooth and silky while the soft shell crab is not too oily

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

yuzu ice cream for dessert! i love anything yuzu *swoons* this was damn refreshing!

PhotobucketPhotobucket

will come back again if i am craving for sashimi :) the amberjack is awesome!

Photobucket

Happy 7th anniversary baby! It is not an entirely smooth ride for us to reach where we are hence I am so glad that we made an effort to stay together all these years. Though at times you annoy me so much, but we will still put in effort to work it out. You always give in to me in the end and I am so appreciative of that :)

I tend to not take life too seriously and prefer to be happy-go-lucky and free-spirited, I needed someone who can give me that kind of space and freedom and not be all broody on me. Someone who is adventurous enough, can bring me fun and excitement in life and yet be serious when necessary. You fulfilled all of that. Your sense of humour, your ability to make me laugh, your confidence and your easygoing-ness are some of the things that I love so much in you.

We have a lot of similar interests and yet enough differences to define ourselves in the relationship. You are all that I can ask for.

In 2013, let’s Live. Laugh. Love. together =D
