For some strange reason, photos I take of my home and room, always look so red and pink. I think it might be because we have pink carpets, reddish brown floorboards, and lots of sunlight all the time. I've tried white balancing my photos but they never work. Anyway, here's some bits from my room. I bought a new chair. Finally an Eames! After so long. I first saw it a couple of years ago on Stephanie's flickr. And have since wanted one of my own. I think I've been in love with Eames chairs since 5 years ago! I kid you not! But you know, at this stage of my life, when I'm not even working and still saving all my money so I can make art, I can only afford a replica. I know! But reading Anna's post, convinced me even more so that it's alright. One day, we'll get the real one! Darren likes the chair too. He says it will make for a really good dining table chair. And he kind of suggested we get a bunch in future when we have our own proper non-rented home. I really dislike leather and fabric chairs. I'm a plastic chair person! So more cute plastic chairs in my future home? Oh surely I wouldn't mind that! Haha.
For now, I'm pretty much settling nicely into my 'new' room and loving every bit of my new chair. Oh bye bye to you horrible bad back aches! It's pastel yellow, has beautiful wooden legs, looks simple but it is so comfortable. Not to mention so cute and every time I sit on it, I think of my cute friend Miss Ebony! Check out her awesome home. Too bad I don't live in Tokyo!
Wow, your home is looking prettier and prettier!

ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to buy a desk and a chair. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty chair! I have a boring office type chair (that swivels and goes up and down) in my room. It's pretty ugly but comfortable. I like these photos of your room, very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I came across this collection of Pink Houses http://strawberrylemonadeblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/little-pink-houses-for-you-and-me.html and thought you might like to see.
ReplyDeleteBathed in pink! Makes in nice and cozy :) I have a similar picnic basket but the handle's broken on one side. Very very cute print in the white photo frame!
ReplyDeleteYour home is amazing - to say the least.
ReplyDeleteEven though this question is irrelevant to the post, I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your water-colour set from? I need a good quality one and can't find one anywhere (I also live in Melbourne)

I want to get a copy of Mastering The Art of French Cooking - I've set myself a challenge to make Boeuf Bourginon but I keep putting it off now lol.
ReplyDeletelove that jewellry display, might try and copy it!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing pictures of other people's homes. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that i have stumbled across your blog - it's just beautiful! Your photos of your home are lovely and I love that you love your eames chair and i agree with your hubby they make excellent dining chairs - we bought 6 of them (replica of course) a while back and they are fabulous! I look forward to enjoying your blog in the future ;-)
ReplyDeletesnogblog: Thanks! Oh and I checked out the link you sent me as well. All the pink houses are so cute. You and Jimmy should paint your shophouse pink too! Hahah. But then again, it might be a wee bit too girly for Jimmy's liking.
ReplyDeleteNina: I got my Eames replica from warehousedirect. You can go google on ebay. They have it cheaper if you're in Sydney!
Kittycat: I got the print from Jen Collin's etsy shop. Haha.
Lighting Heart, Dotz, Mani, Zit, Chloe, June: Thanks so much! : ) So glad you like my room!
Sarah: HAHA. Yes, I changed the Feng Shui! It's so sunny and lovely now. Wakes me up when I'm sleepy while doing my work.
Sunshine by Sara: Boring office type chairs can be really good for your back though. I really loved this Herman Miller one that's at my work place. But unfortunately, it also has a $1314 price tag. Hah
Cookie Cutter: I got the basket from Sarah! And the print in the photo frame, I wrote on one and sent it your way yesterday!
Wednesday: I got my watercolour palette from Singapore, in some random shop I think 7 years ago? The art shops here should have good ones. You can try Melbourne artists supplies or Senior Arts supplies. I'm sure they do stock good ones.
Han: I've been waiting to make Beef Bourginion too! But for now, I've got to be patient and wait because I don't have a proper casserole pot.
Laura: The jewellery display is so easy to make! Try it!
Andrea: if you like looking at pictures of people's homes, try The Design Files! Lucy, the writer, features lovely Australian homes on a regular basis.
Mira Narnie: The Eames replica chairs are so lovely. No regrets buying them! And welcome to my blog! : )
I don't have one either lol. I need to go into town and have a look at the kitchen store but schools go back on Thursday so I think town is full of parents getting those bits and pieces that they've forgotten (My Mum always went in the first week of the holidays so that she had everything and we didn't have to attempt the crush later on)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed. lovely blog! ;>
