kitchen decorating ideas

i like country style kitchens but i like personalized kitchen more

unexpected things with the necessary ones...old and new

just a little art...touch of music

spring arrives...finally

let's go out!

boarding pass on board

i met with Feng Shui in 1998, because of the amazing Master Yap Cheng Hai.....mesmerized...

while decorating, i always derive benefit from the leading lights 

and felicitous guidance of Feng Shui

thousands of collected boarding passes.....attached on the big board

which is covered by corrugated city maps

and taking place on the travel corner of house

may the force be with you!

and very  'green'  too :)

dreaming of a white Christmas

a felt playhouse

i had mentioned before about my things-to-do-list on september, 

since than i was working on this project...before Sinterklaas, finally i finished last day.

if we doesn't count the shopping day for felt and little stuff,

you can easily complete that big  playhouse  in 3 days, i think....i have great tips!

first of all, we will not sew....we will use the famous glue-gun. 

secondly materials from home....like useless baby box, old toys or bed-tent from ikea 

which was my husband's brilliant idea, i was seriously thinking how to cover the playhouse, one day he brought that blue sky...another genius idea came from my mother : 

the base fabric, actually is a tv-blanket, big enough for to circle the box. so done! started with the research and decided the concept:  Gruffalo  our daughter's favorite book. 

than i made a list about animals etc.....and a simple drawing of design

after an another list about colors for felts. i only used templates for

Gruffalo, birds and squirrel, so you can quickly find and print from internet 

the rest...up to your imagination 

Have Fun!

GRAND OPENING

giving a perspective to the mailbox....using a button for to attach the ribbon
this thick reddish clew so useful

spontaneously pasting brown felt pieces on the branch....that little basket also attached on the playhouse, she can put her books or toys inside

tree branches design

i decided to use our last year's xmas-tree for hall decoration.....permanently!

last christmas, our baby was six months old and i had not time enough for big preparation 

it was useful anyway, enjoyed a lot while hanging cookies, her favorite toys on the branches

i love christmas spirit, who doesn't... this year, i have some other plans for xmas tree 

but i don't wanna give up my last year design...so its going to embellish our hall now

and another nice thing is : we can change the theme whenever we want

we can hang our posts, keys, our baby's first drawings or cards & eggs at easter time...

unlimited!
