Its a perfect props for industrial inspired style. here is a sample i made in my polyvore editor of different furnishing you can use if you are thinking of going industrial style.

| RAINBOW PASTA INGREDIENTS... thomas & friends Organic pasta shapes(from tesco) carrots broccoli yellow peppers Cheddar cheese parmesan cheese creme fraiche instruction... cook the pasta according to packet instruction, while steam the carrots and broccoli or add them with the pasta for the last 3 minutes of the cooking time. its just me i prepare to steam them coz jc likes to eat it when its soft to chew. meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan or wok and stir-fry the red pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Drain the pasta, carrots and broccoli and add to the pan. add the creme fraiche and cheeses. toss everything together over a low heat for about 1 minute. serve warm. (this dish is not suitable for reheating.) |

MIDWEEK MOOD: brighten up for spring!
Its dull outside at the moment....but you know there is always a great sunshine after days of rain and we will be rewarded with beautiful blooms everywhere. This is the time of the year that england becomes alive and a wonderful place to live in. I live in the city but i still have birds chirping outside my window and everyone lives not far away from a park.

COLOR PLAY: a touch of yellow and green
here is a palatte which i was getting drawn into this year. I had to stop myself getting an overload of these bold colors. otherwise it does tend to give me a headache. So i just want a tiny bold accent of it on 60% WHITE, 30% black and grey, then 10 % on accent colors.

| jc toys are now going to stream line! im now planning to sell some of his plastic toys which occupy too much space. But have to keep the car bouncer coz it helps me keep jc safe when i have to go down the flat. |

INSPIRE BY KIDS: Teepee
yesterday i was rather bored and was looking for something different to do at home. I was getting a headache looking at jc's pop up tent...it stand out like a sore thumb in my living room. Then came an idea inspire by the tv program The Aventure of abney and tia to hack the pop up tent into a wee like a teepee, using the tent as a frame, a sheet from ikea, and pegs.

GET THE LOOK: baby in a closet
 |
| here's a sample of a style decor you can use to create a baby nook in a closet. i choose orla kiely wallpaper to make a feature wall. this will make a very bold statement and wow factor to your precious tiny space for your little star. A simple basic cot will do and just add some cute handmade soft toy or pillow , a wall birdcage decor and a lamp. But you need to get rid of the closet door for ventilation and if possible use a humidifier. |
