Reno and Deco (1)

Didn't blog for a month! cos I was busy shopping for furniture and home stuff during the past 3 weekends.

WK's brother is finally moving out. Took this opportunity to do lots of improvements to the home. He remind me very much of the time WK and I bought and set up our first in Bishan. At that time, our furniture are all hands-down by my Dad and my uncle. We probably spent less than $2k buying a bed and painting, and didn't do any reno at all. WK's brother did almost the same thing, taking lots of furniture from us. He's happy that he didn't spend but got very good and useful stuff; I'm happy and willing to give, cos I have totally legitimate reason to buy new furniture!

Our living room is not ready yet (new furniture not in), but Lynn's room (she will share room with WK's mum) is done! It may not be as beautiful as those children's room shown in magazine and TV, but it's the end result of my ideas, so I'm very very satisfied. Lynn's very happy with her new room too. Let me show the pics:
Pink table and yellow stool from Ikea. Strawberry Shortcake wall decal (gift by lixing):

Stufftoy net from Ikea. Lynn loves this; she allocate slots for her fav stufftoys. In the background, the taller brown cabinet, is given to us by Jocelyn about 2 years back. This cabinet is used by WK's mum. During this "exercise", I manage to "clean up" quite a lot of useless stuff from the cabinet. Happy happy me..

Wall decal of her fav animal, CATS!! Winny recommended this online site. Lynn took part in the pasting very enthusiastically. We couldn't find the diagram (suggested design) that came with the decal, so I discussed with her how she wants it. And in the background, is a fresh coat of purple colour paint for the room, done by WK's brother for us!

Cute hanger/hook from Ikea too, in the shape of animal backside/tail..

Finally new bedsheets for her bed.


All these done, to entice her to sleep in this room, rather than sleep in our master bedroom. Yesterday night, let her sleep with me, cos I flying to US for work for a week tonight. Now its 3+ already, still hasn't pack...

When I'm back, I will post pic of the living room!
