FABRIC SHOPPING

(photos from Burkman Bros)

Yesterday was a good fabric buying day for me and my mom! We never leave Fanbi or any fabric shop empty handed. Yesterday was no exception, two and a half yards of purple,red, yellow and green plaid, red tartan fabric all in pure Japanese cotton and mom ended up buying little snippets of polka dots and paisley.




Obviously mom paid for everything – I’ll definitely be buying more next weekend.



Above is a preview of what I was designing last night.

MOVING ACROSS HIGHWAY 54

How many more boxes?

The past four weeks after tropical storm Ketsana has been very transitional for me. I am finally moving in to my new space on the 1st of next month and yes, I still have four huge boxes full of crap to complete the job.



Some design inspirations from Apartment Therapy

My new space is absolutely amazing though bare and not as posh as my old location but trust me, I feel like I will be moving into a beachfront hotel in Siam after living in a space I did not at all love for five years.

I still have not found the right furniture for my space (beddings, curtains, a side table, a closet and a floor lamp) – Buddha needs help!

CLICKING NOSTALGIA

I have always been a sucker for really old photos and Polaroid despite the advent of digital photography. I make a point of saving them, the pleasure of snapping a few shots from a Polaroid, watching it spit the film out and smelling that addicting scent – yes, it makes me smile every time I smell it, and so does the wedding photos below which reminds me, I'm attending one next month.



Who cares if you have to impatiently shake the film for five minutes – Ta-dah! Instant nostalgia - framed and faded, a picture that already looked decades old.
