Home@432B \\ Home Improvements - Hanging a piece of fabric

 

Finally hubs got down to hanging a piece of my marimekko fabric in our master bedroom. Really happy with it as it brightens up the whole place so much.

Above: online buy - my little 2 tier dessert bird cage where I'm using it for housing my perfumes. 

Super pretty in gold with mirror plates.

Reno@718B - Sneak Peaks (A Paw Friendly Home)

it's Boxing Day and today we are featuring sneak peeks at our recently completed resale flat reno! Home owner has 2 dogs so the home has to be pet friendly, easy to maintain because of their shedding fur and of cos spacious enough for them to roam around.

For flooring, we chose vinyl flooring which is flat, no grout, easy to clean, mop, sweep fur etc. It is also quite hardy and because of its random pattern, if the darling dogs scratches the floor, chances are it will not be as visible as real wood like parquet. Vinyl wood looking flooring like this also gives a warm look to the home.

Sometimes tiles and even vinyl flooring can be slippery for older 4 legged friends, so carpets will provide some slip resistance for them.

Paw friendly fabrics like PU leather for sofa will be easy to clean and a blue colour will surely differentiate their doggy hairs against your sofa.

Outdoor balcony - a place for plants and an area to relax and look out. Strong flooring like tiles are used here for easy maintenance.

Spacious living - Lounging area in front of shoe closet and even the dining table has areas for the dogs to lounge around too.

 Organic Wood Dining table is from Grey and Sanders. Makes a bold statement in the dining room and defines this space from the living.

Kitchen has loads of storage area for human and pet food! Will post a separate one on her food larder where she is most pleased with! Home owner has a penchant for cups and teapots and saucers. Love her collection of cups from Marimekko!!! I'm a fan of this Finnish design too.

Stirling HDB Terrace - #304 Marimekko Prints

colours and prints

lately I've been influenced by a colleague who's really into Marimekko and gosh their prints are really getting to me as well!

Here's what i found online:
In the 90's Marimekko achieved publicity in the hit series Sex and The City! The fictional main character of the series, sex-and-relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw wore a Marimekko bikini on the season 2 and later on, a Marimekko dress. On the fifth season the series also introduced tablecloths with Marimekko prints.

and now I've bought myself 2 tea towels in their poppy prints and feeling really happy about it!
