Project Lately

A few months back I did a wardrobe project for my sister. Her bedroom is just 10' x 11' so that makes a very minimal space for furniture. It was during her trip to South Korea that I took over her room to do the work. It was also because of the trip that she was left with only minimal budget for the wardrobe. So I work around with something that she already has and surprise her with some new things that are of her style and doesn't break her bank. There are still a lot more space left out vertically behind the curtain partition that I made. But since it is a brick wall, I'm gonna need extra energy/help to drill into it to secure shelving on the wall. I might visit this project again in the future. That empty space on her wall up to the ceiling need be put into use.

Man Up!

I have a question to couples out there. How do you meet in the middle in decorating your shared space? I mean how much you ladies allow his masculinity on your wall colors, bedsheet pattern, curtain design, furniture choice. And how deep you, guys, can push into your feminine side in your home? I have always been wondering if I were to marry a guy who is also into decorating. Will I be a pushover who compromise with all his style even in my favorite space of our house? Or will I man up. Wear the pants. Mark my territory everywhere I please around the house. Here are some masculine design ideas that I can get by. Maybe it could give us ladies some ideas just in case our other half is also a decor geek.

30 Therapy

Check this out. Apartment Therapy did a post about oversized mirror too (see ours)! It's a piece written by their shopping editor, Jason Loper who has been kind enough to share the prices and where to get them. Posted under his many Resource Guide column, this particular 'Full Length Floor Mirrors' article talks about functionality and a helpful safety tip not to take the safely-leaning-on-the-wall position of the mirror for granted but still to go on mount it any way you can. We are glad that Apartment Therapy agree with us that oversized mirror is something to be blog about exclusively. Looks like we have some design flavor in common, huh? Here are some of Jason's recommendations. I'm not sure if we can find oversized mirrors here in Malaysia for under MYR200.00. Maybe you can let us know if you know where to get one.

Tall, Grande Mirror

Do you agree that a grand piece of statement in a room will actually make the room look even grander? After knowing it firsthand upon completing a bedroom project, I, for one very much agree with it. And I think this does apply to every size of room and space. Right now I'm looking for a perfect oversized mirror to lean against my bedroom wall. Not only for the obvious functionality, but also for the fact that it will reflect another space and the blown up size that takes up half the wall will take away the feeling of being trapped in a four-wall square.

Do Mess With My Head

Imagine getting lost in these layered mess. Especially in this cold and wet November weather. Just the perfect excuse to just staying in cuddling in between the sheets. Even if that means it's just you and your 20- year-old bolster.
