Dream house: Fourth week progress and complete!

This post is way overdue.

To be more accurate it's Week 4 and beyond. Previosuly I was able to post updates every week cos the work was not done by us and we just had to pop by and check on the progress.

Renovation works was completed on time and the house was delivered to us on Christmas Eve no less! It was the best Christmas present ever. Walking around our dream home felt so good even though it was bare with only a sofa, a rug and a coffee table. It was already beautiful in our eyes.

Now the load has been transferred to us. Furniture and appliance shopping, arranging for delivery, cleaning up and lots of other tiny details to take care of. Phew. Busy busy busy!



Some photos to share:


Our lovely kitchen :)


A better view of our tiled floor and the first furniture delivered! Check out our turquoise sofa, we picked a bright shade to add a pop of colour to the living room.


The master bedroom which is now our cosy space with our self-made walk-in dressing space.


The second largest bedroom which is now our bedroom. Love my wall! We got white furniture to compliment it.


My sunshiney Room of Requirement haha. It does not have a definite purpose yet so it'll become whatver we need it to be whenever we need it to be, thus Room of Requirement! I see us entertaining friends here so I'll be looking out for bean bags, comfortable cushions, floor rugs and a nice low table. Good for board games or watching movies!


Boxes and boxes of Ikea goodies waiting to be assembled!


My Ikea assembly production line! It's honestly so much fun to have your whole family putting together the furniture. 

 
Our sleeping room with bed assembled! I got sheets to match my beautiful wall :)

 
Dinig table and chairs! The dining table can be extend to seat 6 or more. Good for when family and friends come to dinner.
 
We have been staying in our new home for more than a month now and loving every minute of it. I feel there's still a lot to be done to make it truly homely, like curtains for instance. We definitely need to put up curtains cos we get the morning sun streaming in everyday. You definitely cannot sleep in on weekends! LOL. I also need more storage furniture and to build up my crafting corner. It'll be more trips to Ikea and non-stop buying!
 
But all the hard work is worth it because it's our home :)

Lust : Gorgeous handmade furniture from SlowWood

I'm back!
Yes finally I have the mood to blog, mainly spurred by the Pin-fest I had the other day. I went back to view my favourite home and design blogs and the Better Homes and Gardens webbie. And I got sooo inspired! I pinned like a whole lot of gorgeous pics and got re-pinned a lot too, hehe.

Check out my board here. For our Future Nest

Anyway the photos I couldn't stop thinking about are the ones i found on decor8.



Don't you just love this table?? This is from SlowWood, designed and handmade in the Netherlands. They use natural finishes and mineral paint so it's all very earth-friendly!




This is my favourite piece. Love the simplicity of it and I know it'll look fantastic in a corner of our living room as a small desk for mail and bills. But it's soooo expensive. I'll just drool over them until The Hubs magically gets super talented with the hammer and saw and make me one.

Furniture Love: Nesting Tables

Now why didn't I think of this sooner??

Jay Desk and Hutch from West Elm via Design*Sponge

Takes up minimal space but the smaller desk can be easily pulled out when you need the extra space.
I need this.

Or, this GUSTAV laptop table from IKEA is great as well.
