Another corner of our place - dressed it up with my cute lionhead cushion and golden coin print cushion cover from Ikea. Have you started decorating your place for the Lunar New Year?

I like to take it slow, spread out over the weekends, especially now that I'm physically back to the office.

Home@432B | one last look at my christmas tree before they take it away

 

In case you are wondering where I bought my LIVE christmas tree, it is purchased from Far East Flora (FEF) And no, it is not a a sponsored tree although I wished it was, since it is my first christmas live tree ever!

Just wanted to share with everyone that there is a limited period to call up for them to dispose the tree and so, please keep track! hahaha...i kept reminding hubs to remember to call the florist to ask them to come and dispose the tree, but he kept wanting to keep it longer. We missed the period to be honest but fortunately FEF is quite nice, they said since we are only late by a few days, they will still dispose it for us.

ahhh...I will miss my first christmas tree!! now looking at it, it has browned quite a lot ever since it came home.

Home@432B | CNY cushions!

 

My new cushion haul this lunar new year, the rectangular ones located on the lonesome armchairs.

It reads (literally) big prosperity and everyday make money!

The lionhead cushion covers are bought last year, the pompoms on the lion's noses do come off after washing, because of loose threads, so need to sew them tightly on. The matching orange and turquiose cushions are so happened that I have them! The orange one is from Ikea while the turquiose one, I really can't remember how I got it.

Above: Closer look at my lionhead cushions. The backdrop paper craft was done last year CNY and I couldn't bear to throw them away after spending several nights folding the paper. So I kept it and re-use it again this year. Some of the paper are from red packets, which had the lovely gold and flowery prints.

Above: Another new cushion cover for this year CNY!! it reads Prosperity!!! Love this one, but it sheds red threads....and pardon me, I'm so excited to start using my newly arrived cushion covers that I have yet to keep my christmas decor. (behind on the ledge is my mini christmas tree!)

Home@432B | CNY decor

 

This year 2021, i bought matching cushion cover and table cloth from IKEA. It has this golden coin print which is so lovely. The colour is pleasing and not the usual bright red new year colour, which I suppose we can use it all year round.

Placed a red mat under my sewing machine, looking super auspicious now.

I have 2 chinese knots and didn't know where to put them, so I have decided to put one here at my entrance door. Luckily for me, the suction hook works and managed to hold up the chinese knot throughout the festive period.

Aaahh....re-using my previous year glass stickers which I bought from NTUC.

This year, I have a new console to decor my CNY items and put my New Year vase with flowers. Previous years, I will put this red flower vase at the kitchen island.

Something a little different this lunar new year is my paper wheels!

Newly added Chinese New Year cushions - lion head.

I admit, my living room now is in a bit of a mess as the CNY is so close to James' 7th year birthday, so it is a mish mash of CNY decor and birthday Paw Patrol decor. Gosh, and i hated my online balloon buy this time round because many of my foil balloons had slits in them and so they can be blown up. I had to find the slits and scotch taped them, but they deflate rather quickly. You can see the difference in the "H" and "P".

Saw something online and was so inspired to do something similar for the Lunar New Year. Paper wheels! It was done more as a backdrop for a birthday bash, but hey you can also do it for the new year too!

DIY paper wheels from construction paper, pattern colour paper (which i bought eons ago and didn't know where to put it to good use) and ang bow paper.

bought these super duper cute lion head cushion covers online!
