Reveal - Our Library Cum Reading Nook

Now... it is time to reveal our library make over!! hihi.. I've been so bz lately, especially Farissa being unwell and all.. However, to divert my attention to something more refreshing, I decided to redo my library and create a cute living nook for my darling girl following these ideas.. :)

The initial room... with the blackboard at the corner of the room.. no theme...

Bakul merah tuh is my laundry utk digosok..

Computers on the floor... My little brother took my PC table to his university..

Books, books and more books on the floor...

I had given my shelf to the CryBox Community..:)

Remember this look ok?? :D

Wall of Love~~ Mi Amor

Hi readers... wat's up? :) Well, I think its about time to be more driven in posting new entries... Last month for August was pathetic!! huhu.. due to time constraint and facebook.. my gear for posting new entry become less and less.. huhuhu...

Well, by the way.. do u remember about this entry? I think its only fair to update and show u gals the finish product... :)

Taraaaa!!! My wall of love includes some pics of my childhood (got to get some from hubby)... and our little family~~~ like it?? It makes me al goooeeeyyy inside.. *winks*

Can you believe that this is the only pic of our wedding in the house?? Needs more rite?? Betul tak? Nanti kite tambah2 ye..
note: Btw, the pic of Farissa above is when she is only 8 months *sigh*.. mama just love ya!!

Dapur Kecil Ku~~

Hey ladies!! Wat’s up? Well, here are the pics of my kitchen!! Yup.. finally I know...
Actually, I had planned to upload my pics last month but as u girls know, I am on a long leave and was recuperating in my mom’s home in JB. Why? See here. When I came back to KL, I decided to re-design the kitchen and improve the previous layout. I believe know one (even my mom) saw this version of my kitchen yet.

Let’s take a tour in my small but charming kitchen. As you can see, I have an open concept kitchen. You can see my kitchen when u first enters the house. Some people may not like this concept (need constant cleaning and organizing). My dry kitchen and laundry station are within the same area. I have an entertainment station (mainly it is my radio, I love listen to music while I cook). A small peninsular, perfect for putting up buffet. This breakfast peninsular works as a divider between the dining and the kitchen. We don’t have breakfast here, as we need stools for that. Everyone eats in the dining area.


The laundry station is a new addition. The white wall cabinet can be purchase from IKEA, a total cost of RM 285.
I love flowers, especially those from SSF. So the tulips were purchased from SSF for RM 40. You can also purchase a wide variety of canvas painting. This one cost only RM 20, purchased from ROMANTIKA, Malacca during one of my vacation there.

Frames could easily use to upgrade or to fill up empty walls but not necessarily burst your pockets. These frames were purchase for only RM 3.90 each from D.I.Y shop. My plan was to insert recent photos of my lil one so each time when I am doing the laundry; I could look at her and remember my life blessings.


Some of u may even wonder what has come of my fridge from previous entry. Well, here it is!!
Looking nice beside my little oven. Above the combination oven is a device with 3 small fans, to cool of the oven should I plan to bake with it. Circulation of air is important so that the oven does not burn down the cabinet.

Let’s move to the wet kitchen. The blue tiles move throughout the whole kitchen. I just love them as it is really sparkly. Hihi.
I have always wanted a standalone stove, so here it is. Mr. Bob had upgraded the stove to Electrolux (which I am not sure how much the total cost). Previous stove was Rubine, you can read here. It comes with a glass top so that you can protect your tiles with the grease or sambal tumis. ;)
The plate above the hood was purchased in Kenya, Africa, during one of my teaching assignment there. Beside the stove is the stainless steel divider between the fridge and hot stove


The gas is covered in the cabinet.
You can purchase this small rug at IKEA for RM 35.90 and the uniquely design cloth at SSF.

Here is the sink in action!! Wuuhuuu!! However, I would not recommend you to buy a white sink (especially for asian cooks). Rosaaaaak!!! Hehehe.. No lah.. but you really need to constantly clean it. Having Mr. Muscle really helps me.. ;)


Oh yes. Lastly, this small but useful island. I have future plan to place a bigger island with stools. Definitely will update, all of you ladies later.
So, what do you think of my kitchen? I love it and I hope that you love it too...

My Bedroom My Sanctuary~~

The master bedroom is the most intimate rooms in a home... for me it is the outmost importance that the master bedroom outshines any other bedrooms (within a home).. it must have the most comfortable sheets, comforters, pillows.... it should have additional furniture that’ll give boost to the coziness of the room itself.

My opinion is that stick to what you like, if you think half of anything – do not place it in the master bedroom. I try my best not to stick television or work station in the master because these elements are NOT meant to be in a room where you rest, sleep and snuggle up with your partners. These things are distraction, however, that is just my opinion. My parents have both a workstation and a 40 inch LCD and they seem to love it so what the heck?

New books that are always within reach... I LOVE english non-fiction collection :)

Especially those that Oprah book club suggested / discussed!

In terms of clutter, I think it is best to have closed up storage. You can be messy but hidden messy. :D I also believe that you should have individual aspects within a room to give it spice. Add in a mirror, portrait, family photos or flowers (better to have fresh flowers rather then artificial)..

I love colours, it gives a certain ummph. I love pattern as well, so as you can see the curtains, lamp shades, comforters and cushions are pattern. But I am also aware that too much of these is a NO NO! I make sure that if the comforters are printed then the sheets are not and the pillow cases are not. If the cushions are printed then the seater/sofa are not. You get my point right?

So, that’s it... A slice of my thought.... If you would like to add anything or place comments, you are absolutely welcome to do so...

My DIY - His Weekend

Hello darls...

Tajuk entry ni hebat bukan.. Well... what can I say... hehehe... Anyway, I had been dreaming for this DIY for weeks... yelah.. any DIY will need some sort of $$$.. hihi.. So, apparently JUSCO is having one of their monthly sales and I successfully found frames which is cheap and quality enuf to stuck on my the new flight of staircase wall <-- aik betul ke ni.. hahaha...

small frames cost me about rm 5.. and da big ones 8R cost about rm 20.. da total??? rm 105.. Well I thought it was ok!! :D

So, here goes.. Months ago I came across this helpful website: http://www.younghouselove.com/ and I was really intrigue with all the DIY projects that they are doing.. and one of it is this wall of frames..

Step 1

Budget the area or the coordination of the frames..

Looks good enuf from here!!

How about from this view??

Still good enuf!!

Reveal - Living Room

Salam Ladies..

I believe that it’s about time that I reveal my hard earn vision and dream of a home sweet home – living room.. Truly 2x, I am quite excited about this reveal as I did not have the time to actually write bout it before... Close friends mmg for sure dah tau that I really put in a lot of thought and planning this new home of mine... betul tak kengkawan?

So, without further a do... Tadaaaaaa!! Shantik taaaak?? Hihi... aaaaaah kalo tak cantik pun tape... yg penting I feel truly good bout it... for my living, tade satu pun I rase pilihan I salah... semua on da dot!! :)

Let’s start of with da sofa... this good deal of a sofa I did purchase for quite a number of months before I move... haha.. tu yang rumah sewa lama sempit semacam... Anyways, this is a good choice because:

1. It’s branded though cheap sebab beli time clearance.
2. The sofa covers can be machine wash... wow factor rite?? Especially those moms yg tgk jeks terus kate... ni tak lame ni kotor la.....
3. Excellent time to pre train your kids that sofa is no place to have their dinner on (yeah rite...).. kadang2 bapak budak lg teruk.. hik hik...

Awww... Kids that come to my house really love this cute little tods sofa.. This one I purchase time fella design warehouse sale as well.. truly good bargain as it is so solid.. kadang2 I yg duduk kat sini.. tegap tau...

Just look at this baby design... :D swirly and flowery... huuuhh... so me!! Well, if you think that this is waste of money.. simply don’t by it.. betul tak??.. don’t judge me though baby.. A plus point.. it can be use as leg rest too.. hihihi...

First time I saw this ottoman.. terus I beli.. sebab my curtain is stripe pattern as well and this could go well together... the price as usual murah sebab I beli time clearance.. yeah blame me as a clearance maniac but when I shop, I do it with bargains in mind and pocket.. ;)

Anyway, I read somewhere that if you want a country design inspired home then you should have an ottoman instead of a coffee table... So, I got one!! But nobody put their coffee on this yeah.... ßadik if you reading this.. paham 2x.. ehem ehem...

Move on!! The beautiful “Datin Carpet” as a good friend of mine referred it as to... haha!! Believe me.. the price is right on.. If you guys look closely.. this is gold thread embroidered.. It was hanged really gorgeously at Macy’s... and 20% of... So, I thought what da heck.. masuk jeks dlm troly...

Hey guys... please do NOT think that I beli semua ni serentak... My style, I purchase bit by bit.. with colour theme ALWAYS in mind... duit I simpan sket2 setiap bulan... I beli setahun sebelum I pindah masuk rumah... tak percaya?? Percayalah~~~

Huh.... What is this?? Well, this is the ONLY item that I did not choose for the living room.. Mr. Bob chose this unique copper curtain hook.. Pandainye dia... I don’t actually love it at first sight.. but I think that it really does grow on me... Looks country meets rustic rite... Gorge baby!!!

Close-up of the day curtain... Some of you may think that its heavily embroidered.. It is... and I kind liked heavy flowery stuff... its just me k... the more flowers the better... haha.. bukan semua pattern ya.. J This one has to be hand washed ONLY.. huhu... saje jeks nk menyusahkan diri.. but now ada dobi.. so kalo malas.. hantarla dobi saje.. ya tak??

I told the girls at the office that Bob thinks my “chandy” is a junk that nobody wants... Somehow, I feel really happy just looking at it... Its just too plain beautiful.. Look at the color, it really have a greenish almost whitish frame with black almost classic old look... The glass is icy which makes it more classy.. haha... This baby only cost me bout RM300.....

So, there it is ladies.. An angle towards the entrance of the house... I will definitely talk bout that later on... insyallah... “The Entryway”, not yet 100% complete...

This shot is an overall look at the living... All into place.. Although, there are 2 wish list items to buy for the living room:

1. Purchase a Smart Looking remote control fan (Yes, in exchange of the chandelier.. I have to sacrifice my ceiling fan), black...
2. Buy a matching TV cabinet as the Shoe Cabinet at the entryway...
3. Well, if there is any updates on both of this items, I will surely posted k.. Thanks for reading!!!
