Mini kitchen in a kitchen

INSPIRE ME MONDAY: THE STYLIST'S XMAS TREE

hello you!   its tuesday, yesterday i was busy with the food shopping, its a 30 mins walk with pushing jc's buggy.  i was dead tired when i got back home.   anyway,  5 days to go before christmas..still havent got a christmas tree?  why buy when you can just go to a woods or park if you live in the city and just pick up a fallen twig or branch,  i dont know about you but "je de'teste" those  plastic green pine trees that they sell in supermarkets .  Its nothing better than the actual real one.  but the conservationist  in me didnt like  the idea of chopping down trees for decoration.

 heres a round up of all my favorite blogger and their christmas trees.

2011 Christmas images



This year christmas my decor was inspired by childhood memories and my love for scandinavian retro, shabby chic in a contemporary twist..  I made a mistake of buying an expensive glittering modern xmas tree last year.  now im stuck with it unless i can sell it in ebay for a fair price.  I always wanted a piece of fallen branch of tree , decorated with handmade objects.  .



Childhood Inspirations,   my DIY decorated mason jar for chocolates and my table centerpiece, a piece of fallen branch found in one of our walk in the park. decorated with my butterflies and handmade tree ornaments. 



ikea got a nice napkins selection this year...and this little decor is so cute.

this picture was a cutout from a john lewis newletter last year.   Love the artwork that i couldnt let it go when i was throwing out the magazine.

JC xmas stocking ... all filled up with goodies and  his xmas teddy wearing his xmas bib.

My first christmas in no. 47....



i missed the lightness of white and the warmed of the reds....very simple and cozy...



an online friend from holland sent me this hyacinth seed.  i manage to grow it, never been a green finger but i think this house makes the plant happy.  i just love having beautiful plants as an ornaments.

my study table used to face the balcony....so i could watch the changes of weather...i remember it was heavily snowing outside.

the other seeds (tulips)  still growing!!

study and formal dining



one lazy cozy winter....




 i used to have a small table in the kitchen where i eat most meals...

lovely me with my wig( still bald head)



JC's Lil Nook

All my life i prepare a life of NO KIDS ZONE....but with the birth of my own son.... i discover babies are so much fun.  And creating their space is easy as ABC.....their tiny bodies can fit in any smallest square inch of a space.   Here's a peek of my little one's nook.  its a space in the corner of my room.

his friends but has multipied since...
