bye bye bed

i kinda felt bad having to say goodbye to our very first purchase as a married couple...

we've replaced it with this...

but we're a longs way from achieving the look of our peg.

will keep you posted!

girly-girl bedroom

i know you've seen this a thousand times...

but this IS my first bedroom project.

saw it recently, and until now, it still makes me proud.

so here's a walk through of what i did...

the focal point is the bed... with a custom-made apple green tufted headboard, and a patterned bed cover...

the side table has a box-pleated cover made from a dark teal vintage fabric that belonged to her grandfather.

the reading chair is a recycled club chair ;) reupholstered with a printed teal fabric.

the drapes are layered lace fabrics...

and the curtain ties i made from elongated rings i got from divi :)

across the bed is an ilocano dresser painted in metallic silver... and matched with a plastic green stool.

beside it, a vignette that includes 3 hat boxes from kish.

overall, it was a pretty successful project. not expensive at all, and continues to make the "client" happy.

i hope i get a next project :)

pinning up

thanks to my 33rd celebration,

i have more brooches for my bed.

teehee.

yun lang :)

my big pink headboard

combining inspiration from something i saw in one of our fave spots in harajuku -- a cute and quaint li'l creperie...

and inspiration from my fave design period,

i'm working on my new headboard... right now, it's still a bit plain...

but i plan to add 3 or 5 big buttons across, just like on mid-century modern sofas...

and add a li'l twist by filling a corner up with my brooches...

i was inspired by this screen in that creperie i was talking about...

but right now, i only placed 3 pins... that's all i have.

i know you have lots.  wanna spare me some? :)

messy doggy

i've been forcing (the real) flower to get acquainted with her newly purchased home from ikea...  but the longest she sits in here is only around 10 seconds.

she still prefers our little bathroom mat.

yun lang :)

p.s. twinpop-m, do you still want the other tent?  it was supposed to be for (the real) belly... she's even more hopeless... she uses the coffee table legs as her pillow.
