Don't envy me please.

I need to show and tell today. My lovely blog friend Julie @beignruby sent me these gorgeous photos.   I wish I could capture beautiful things in life like her. I quickly put them in my brown picture frame. They look amazing. Now I have to find a spot to display them in my house. 

Thank you Julie for the wonderful gift. I will cherish them with all my heart. By the way, Should I get the white frame? or Is brown frame okay for these beauties?

New Hair Style

I used to have a very long straight hair. Washing hair and drying takes so much effort as I am getting older(sigh~) . I had my hair cut short as all older women seem to do with they hairs. Now I want do have a bit of change. I just talked to my hairdresser about it, Looks like I am getting a little perm like Lucy Liu in the picture. She is really pretty, don't you think? Some said I looked like her  even though I don't agree with them. (lol). I shall take a break from my messy house and get over to Hair Salon for pamper soon.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Guestroom makeover

I've been busy moving furnitures around, My little girl once had a queen bed but I got rid of it to give her more space in her little room with millions of stuff. Now she wants her queen bed back so I had to think about something creative. I moved our guestroom bed ,which I painted white a long time ago. to my little girl who wants a big bed.

I didn't want to spend too much $$ so I got this brass bed from a friend who don't want it anymore. Lucky me. I am not a big fan of brass bed but this will have to do for the time being. Still need to accessorized.

Here is the preview of our guestroom .

What do you think? If you have creative idea please help me.

Console makeover.

I love everything white. I score this gorgeous console table a long long time ago from local auction. I just loved the shape of it. It came home with me along with the matching mirror. I did right sanding and some spay paint.. I have my white console table..

What do you think?


Have a wonderful day wherever you are.

Monday Madness!

My Life is currently mad, crazy, busy but most of all HAPPY. We are having some renovation as you can see. The wooden panel wall in the breakfast nook area has to come down. Now we have clean plaster board. It looks much cleaner and I like it. I will have to paint the wall, and re-arrange the furniture when everything is done. I can't wait to have it finished. Life is full of waiting but it's all good.

Hope your Monday is going well.
