WTS Ikea Vika Alex Drawer Unit - Before and After Photos

Remember my earlier post on me wanting to sell off my study table and drawer units so that i can do a new activity corner for Jules?

Reno@Yishun - 4 Bedroom floorplan

click for larger image

One of our latest project, a 4 bedroom BTO at Yishun. Couple is looking to getting their keys in 2013. So we have plenty of time to design and come up with a layout for them.

basically they are a simple couple who wants to keep all their rooms, have lots of storage, not sure of what they want. or rather perhaps it seems like there's still a long way to getting their keys so they haven't really thought of what they really want.

hmm...

i don't know whether is it a good thing to have clients that do not know what they want, or clients who know what they want. well, i guess this is the part where we come in to advise them.

stay tune for more updates, though i think it wouldn't be so soon!

WTS: IKEA VIKA ALEX

 Hi there,

Just wanted to try my luck here to sell off my current study table and 2 drawer units from IKEA.

I'm planning to do a children's study cum play area by the window sill thus the need to do away with my study area.

Hopefully can sell them away then I can start on my new little project for the little one!

Wish me luck!

 Hi there!

Just wanted to share with all my readers that our little place was featured in IKEA LIVE magazine. We are exceptionally happy that IKEA was doing a feature on our place since we are such big fans of their stuff!!! I love their kitchen tea towels, quilt covers and especially their seasonal designs during Christmas and the Lunar New Year!

This year's xmas decor from IKEA went onto the shelves really early again and I was there to make sure that i had my stuff all bought. Unlike previous years when I keep missing out on the stuff which i wanted to buy and realise that IKEA do not restock their xmas products!!!

ritey,

TGIF!

DIY - Felt Flowers

My hands are just itching to do some handicraft! and i chanced upon this website where it teaches you how to do Felt flowers and it looked so pretty! So i must have one done too for myself and if ever for my daughter!!!

 Here's a white version which reminds me of Marc Jacob's Daisy! Really love this one!

I'm going to sew a hair clip and brooch clasp onto them so that i can use them as a hair accessory and brooch too!

Jamu at Tradtional & Holistic Postnatal Center

I've signed up for my Jamu at the Traditional & Holistic Postnatal Center and my masseuse is Madam Haiza.
She's really friendly and made my massage quite enjoyable!
Not only did she use the hot stone to massage the back and tummy, it was also used for my blocked ducts in my breasts. After the massage, my breasts were much softer and not as hard as before.

So mummys out there, if you need a Jamu masseuse, you can go to them!

Each package includes:
-Specially designed binder (Bengkung)
-Massage oil
-Applications of herbs on the forehead
-Tapel (Jamu wrap for the tummy)
-Ginger wrap
-Herbal cream wrap and application of slimming cream
-Complementary Telon Oil for baby
-Teaching mother the baby massage sequence

Each session lasts approximately one hour and ten minutes. (That's 1 full hour of massage and 10 minutes to apply herbs and put on the stomach binder).
