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@LAS II Maisonette | Balcony Wood decking

Reno@LAS II Maisonette | Staircase Railing Detail

Why the staircase railing never meets the landing railing

I get this question all the times when doing a maisonette. The hand railing of a staircase never meets the landing railing. This is a common industry practice because the railing height suitable for a human's height is approximately 800mm to 900mm from the step whereas the safety railing height at the landing is usually 1000mm to 1100mm from the floor.

Here's another detail where the balustrade of the railing is mounted to the sides of the staircase instead of the floor. There's no right or wrong with mounted on the sides or on the floor. It is a matter of preference.

Home@432B | Setting up my CNY decor

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.
