Laminated Flooring
11.13.10 |Deco, Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

I never regretted the day when I decided to use laminated wood flooring for my master bedroom. It looks fabulous even after having it for more than 8 years now. I am looking for discount laminate flooring for my children’s room. Some of the wood flooring brands provides life time warranty.

It is very easy to clean and dirt do not stick to it compare to tiles. I heard that with the new wood flooring technology, you can even install on your own. That will save us labor charges. Another great way to make your house looks good with cost savings!

Tile Or Not Tile
01.02.10 |Deco, Living, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

My front porch has cement flooring and I am in a dilemma whether to tile it or not. It has its pro and cons for tilling.

I was browsing the porcelain tile online web sites and I like few designs. It will make my porch looks nicer and neat. However with the porch tiled, I need to wash my porch every week. With my car parked there, the car may also spoil the beautiful tiles. Besides my children is having fun drawing on the cement floor.

Maybe when my children are older, I will come back to shop for tiles.

Home Lighting
02.05.09 |Deco, PP| Permalink | Comments Off

Lighting is very important to a home. It can bring out the warm and cozy feeling if it is done well. You can see how hotels do a very good job in lighting their rooms. It gives a very comfortable feeling and you want to stay there longer.

It will be good if I can switch between the warm and bright lighting for different occasion. I love the cozy warm feeling for my home. At the same time, I need to ensure my children have sufficient lighting for them to do their homework or reading. There are some discount indoor lighting that I liked in LightOutlet.com. It is a good time to change some of my home lighting.

I love looking at crystal. It is beautiful and the reflection of the colors cheers me up. Two years ago when I was in Singapore, Swarovski Crystal were having a sale. I got 3 lovely figurine crystals. I wanted to get a flower too but I burst my budget. Hey guys, crystals are a great present for your love ones.

I can sit there for hours admiring the crystal. I would like to grow my collection one day.

Glass Door

I have this glass door, a separation between the dinning/living hall with the kitchen. However it was bear for quite a while. I wanted to put some deco but I didn’t find the right one. While I was in Scotland I saw this jello type of deco. It is easy to stick on and remove. No stain will be left on the glass. I did the fish and my children help me with the flower. Now my glass door looks beautiful.

Update: The product is called Gel Gem. Info here: http://www.gelgems.com/GelGems/default.asp

2006 Ikea Catalog
09.08.05 |Deco, Furniture, Service| Permalink | 4 Comments

I like going to Ikea when I am done in KL. There is lots of small and nice deco for my lovely home. Once I went there during long holidays and to my surprised I met 4 friends from Penang. I didn’t even bum into any friends in KL. Maybe Ikea is for outstation folks, I donno.

Anyway for those people outside of Klang Valley who wants a copy of the Ikea catalog, email to their customer service department (customer.hotline@ikeastore.com.my) and request them to send you a copy.

For those who doesn’t want to chop down trees, please visit the website http://www.ikea.com.my/catalogue06/ to get a pdf copy or you can browse online but it kills your bandwidth.

I am a collector of the Ikea magazine. I have the catalog from 1999 – 2005.

Lanterns
09.06.05 |Craft, Deco, Event| Permalink | 8 Comments

Lanterns & mooncake festival is coming. You can tell, as the shopping mall is decorated with beautiful lanterns and selling mooncakes. I bought 2 traditional lanterns (baby & fish) for my children. Not the battery operated ones with noisy music. Every year without fail, my FIL will get those for my children. I still have the past years lantern that he bought and it is still in working condition. Now they have butterfly, dragon fly, flower basket and ultraman.

I love playing traditional lanterns. You lit up the candles and switched off all the lights. It is very beautiful. When I was young, I love playing with candles. You know what I did? I use can candles with my masak-masak set made of aluminum to cook rice. I will put a candle in between 2 match box, fill the masak masak pot with rice and water, put the pot to sit on the match box and let the candle heat up the pot to boil the water to cook rice. Isn’t that amazing? I was only 5 years old.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful lit up lanterns at my front porch.

My son picked a butterfly lantern and I picked a baby for my gal…

Hand Wax
06.20.05 |Deco, Shopping| Permalink | 1 Comment

I stumbled upon this at Mid Valley when I was down in KL. Actually I saw this in Las Vegas, US but I didn’t dare to do it. I was afraid of the hot wax. I wanted to try it but in the end, I ask my hubby to do it.

It was cool, I think my hubby has the biggest hand and it was worth the money. The mold cost RM10, coloring cost RM10 and the base cost RM10. Total was RM30. First the wax hand maker put my hubby’s hand into cold water for a while. After that, quickly dip into the hot wax and cold water again. My hubby told me a warm feeing, no pain at all. She repeated it until the mold was form. Later she pulled it out slowly from my hubby’s hand. She fixed the holes with tiny pieces of wax. Later applied color and put on the base.

If I ever bum into it again, maybe I will try and put the hand mold in my office.
