this is a collage to give you the overall view of the changes in my flat, you notice the space had becomes more brighter, i still kept most of the walls white but i decided to add some bright blue and dark grey with splashes of yellow. The look im aiming is a contemporary used of bold colors to give a cute and cozy feel. its was really inspired by children rooms.


my favorite since my childhood, Hello Kitty from John lewis but its only for me.


I have a few of these harajuko dolls that came as a top of a fragrance. I adore them so i put them in one of these frame that came from ikea and used one of the sample wallpaper that you can order from a store, it was named "brighton" from harlequins wallpaper.


abacus bought from a charity shop, it was dirty and brown but i have given it a new life of fresh white paints and colors bead to match the new color scheme.

so proud of these, my own DIY baby's wardrobe, which used to be my shoe and handbag closet. i still have my shoes halfway up. But i have design this wardrobe for when the baby is a toddler, he can easily reach his own stuff. The textiles i used with matching boxes and hooks are from ikea fabler range.

Sweet Savvy Mama -- baby's journal

This baby's book journal from John Lewis was perfect for recording all records especially their prescious moments. As an older mom who has a cancer history and a foreigner in this country, i am concerned to write down every information about his history including his families, medical and how special he is for us.

MY MIDWEEK MOOD......more wish list...

being constantly browsing and looking at something new, make me want to buy and change things in my home. but thanks to IKEA its all possible to change the look of your room for under £100. and i found a french company named ADDITIK* which sell adhesive pictures that you can stick on your ikea furnitures. perfect if you just want to change the look without changing your furniture.

MAKING SPACE FOR BABY JC.

living in a 1 bed flat is sure is a challenge for accomodating a baby. But since the father of the baby is still living and working in wales, he is only here on weekends. sure a small baby couldnt really cramp my old single style of keeping a lot of clothes, bags and shoes, wouldnt it? Well here what i did, first of all i did a big decluttering of my own stuff, i had rutelessly got rid of stuff i havent worn or use for more than 1 year. i sold on ebay, gave to charity shops. Then i built my baby's wardrobe inside half of my shoes and handbag closet.

tips: separate going out clothes, everyday wear and baby essentials toiletries and nappies on each spaces.

Wardrobe : going out clothes also i keep his older clothes which i am collecting.
I cut an old curtain pole to fit the length of the wardrobe and got some hook to hang it from a local diy shop. also use some fabric from ikea which was on sale and got the matching boxes with it. look, so cute and smelling nice too since i put some potporri that i hang inside a small pouch bag.




Everyday clothes and blankets, this used to be my multimedia cabinet now converting it as a cabinet and baby's changer in the new nursery im going to make in 2 to 3 months when he outgrown his moses basket in my bedroom.




since he is going to be in my room for 2 to 3 months, im using my drawers as his temporary changer so i swap my essentials on the top drawer for his essentials like his nappies, toiletries for easy reaching when i am changing him. and on the top i will put his changing mat.
