Christmas Decorations

November 17, 2010

About to Have First time Xmas on Our new Home.

My most favorite time of the year is just around the corner, too bad with a lot of things in my hand I cannot  decorate fully our home for the holidays. Second reason, with one day off in a week, oftentimes I stayed in our bedroom/or hanging around the markets/mall with my two cute toddlers spending quality times with them. Third reason, there’s this old saying in our place that “A Carpenter has a broken house.” Usually at the office I am the one in charge of Christmas decorations, once I reached home I feel exhausted on doing the same thing.

 

Finally Home was decorated.

I was too grateful that it was holiday yesterday and I was able to decorate, but it was just a small portion of the house, but it was nice anyway.

 

Here’s A tip. We know some of the christmas balls easily come off  on its holder;

 

 

All it needs is a hot glue gun                                                          

 

Just apply a hot glue on the top, 

 and seal the holder again on its christmas ball. It’s done!

Now you can stop worrying that it will fall off when it is hanging.

Home Decorating

November 11, 2010

 

I never thought home decorating is so difficult and mind confusing. I usually finds a way things makes easy, organize and artistic, not until today, I realize my talent is highly challenge of our new house.  Months of furniture canvassing, internet browsing, magazine checking but still I don’t have a concrete idea as to how would be the final look of our house.

All bedrooms are almost empty; living room with a set of sofa still on its factory plastic, kitchen is still bare except for a few cook wares, kitchen utensils, refrigerator, ceramic stove and cutlery. I don’t have the proper dining tables and chairs yet. Curtains are on the cabinets and all windows and sliding doors are waiting to be covered. Unpacked cartons are on the basement.

I was thinking of a color scheme but then I would also like to apply a color contrast on the curtains and furniture since all walls are completely painted by yellow gold color. I am currently torn between on either I would opt to contemporary or on semi modern interior design.

 

Sometimes it causes so much headache plus the fact I only have little time to attend things at home, I have other things that I am taking care of such as my two toddlers and my work, my only consolation is my hubby   my personal support and comfort.

 

 

 

 

I find my confidante (which is myself) again and she said “Take things one step at a time.”….
