SETTING THE SCENE

December 24 2013
setting the scene5

We have started hosting Christmas Eve dinner at our house ever since we moved in three years ago. It’s quickly become my favorite holiday event because of the preparation that goes with it. This week I’ve spent my time setting the scene where I finalized little decorations in our house, prepped and organized what I [...]

BLUSHING

Blush Interior Inspirations

When I was single, my bedroom was utterly girly complete with baby pink walls. If I have the liberty of decorating our house now without care for my male companion, I would definitely add a touch of pink in our décor but reality is I’d probably be thrown out if I added even a pink [...]

HOW TO: ARRANGE A BOOKCASE

July 4 2013

Our bookcase, although styled, became slightly askew with the volume of comic books (or as the geeks would call it ‘graphic novel’) Anthony has collected.

HOW TO: STYLE YOUR NIGHTSTAND

April 24 2013

A bedside table is an area that a lot of us use as a landing space before we go to bed. This is where we remove all our jewelry, pile our magazines and even leave the occasional coffee mug or an empty glass. I used to do that a lot in the past and have [...]

SPRING CLEANING

April 10 2013

Being an organization and clean freak like me, spring-cleaning gets me excited- it’s retarded. The tasks can be daunting but the end result is very satisfying. To me it’s the feeling of freshness and lightness in our house and knowing that order has been put in place. Our house is small which means my tasks [...]
