Stirling HDB Terrace - #306 GreenGate Homeware

hello!

>>> Went to a flea mart on Sunday and hubs was enchanted with a polka dotted casserole dish! Truly! it was something which he wanted (relentlessly) which i thought it was so me. Or rather have i influenced him with dots and spots??? Anyway, we agreed to buy that mini casserole dish since it was on offer and thought it was quite the perfect home for our butter which currently sits naked and cold in the chiller department... ok he has a silver wrap around him, not totally naked.

Back home, i turned the casserole to its back and found that it was from GreenGate!
GreenGate is a Danish company who create beautiful products for the home in shabby chic, vintage and Scandinavian designs.

Stirling HDB Terrace - #305 cups for me!

yes, it's almost becoming an obsession!
something wild had better take over my recent addiction over these prints!!!


~help help!~

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!

Stirling HDB Terrace - #311 Crazy over prints

Rem the flea mart which i was telling you about, well beside getting the Greengate casserole, we got ourselves some glass bottles for storage. Really vintage looking and pretty. and they were all on offer from $4-$9 each depending on size!

Stirling HDB Terrace - #312 IKEA cabinet lights

over a series of weekends + home project

1. First we fixed the door panels as a weekend project and
   
2. The following weekend, we went back to Ikea to get some lights to install into our cupboards to add some ambiance to the shelves.
   
3. We also changed some of our solid wood shelves to glass shelves. This will allow the light to penetrate to the lower shelf for display items.

dad says i'm buying the whole ikea down!

Stirling HDB Terrace - #295 A penchant for White

everyone knows how white stuff gets dirty easily and i truly agree but I still can't get enough of them! Anyway my rationale is: at least you know that it's dirty and so you have to clean it!
