What 's New in New Year? B4 & After

Hope Everyone had a great & peaceful New Year...
New Year, New SSS with a SUBTLE ones at D´Box

As I see... all you ladies, had a blast, goodbying 2010. My & your family gatherings, bondings sharing and giving, makes me so happy. I am so blessed to have my cousins & extended family in Sweden. I created my life with my family and friends, here coz I am away from home & dear family. I shared what I have and what I got. I am blessed, I found the blogging thingy, too. This makes my life easier. I can share my likes, my life and my world with you, my cyber friends. Thank you so much for all the inspirational words, the comments and the never ending visits. I do appreciate it. Thank you once again for being a friend.

In D´Box, I don't know what to start. I been into tablescaping and table top, the last half year of 2011 and or on & off. I missed SSS every week-end. It's too much to hang on. The projects at home grows fast too. And of course, I am a full-time career woman, a full-time housewife, a full-time mum and don't forget I have all my daily activities. I dance 5x a week and have my gym & classes at work too. Arrrgghhh... can I cope up all this? A matter of fact, I do, however, the question is, shall I manage, for how long? I do murmured "Hopefully, I do" The word I have in my mind is "PRIORITISE" and I do prioritise the things it need my priority. So, here was the busy life at home....

Remember, our house is absolutely, "petité"? It was a bit of a hard to do a DIY. I am not an interior designer and having one was not an answer either, or maybe my wallet was the problem, §:-) Anyhow, both me and GH gave a try, if it goes well, "fair enough", if it goes bad, though luck". So, then we started!!!

Well, simply said and we done the revamping:
Press the photo for a better & a closer look
This was the old bedroom we had, the ugly wall was hidden w/ lace curtains §;-)
GH started ripping off the plinths
OMG! it's not charming. I don't like dark stuffs
This house built in 1947 & old owner lived here for 25 yrs
Now, it looks like GH done a good job, don't you think?
Well, in progress?
Then, here was the wallpaper we both choose, for the backwall
And the headboard... TURQOUISE, so calm
I don't really feel at ease at first...
Or, maybe curtain misses? Rugs was changed too...
The standing cabinet was my first project "painted" whited

Well, as you can see, the photos are not the best. How I wish, I could share you for real. It's a kind of a cutie, though? Or at least, if you ask me §:-) The efforts GH had and me, who sewed the curtains, blinds and the pillow cases (not the white ones) was a satisfying outcome. Helping together sorting out the looks of our home, make our understanding and the bonding as man and wife get more stronger. We sat and talked about the plans. I plan, decide and he is the doer, uhumm... of course, I am the assistant. Keeping him accompanied.

To those who don't know me, GH is minimalist and I am more in to "que sera sera", what I like, I put it there, thing? And I am loving it. So, we both comprimes... 50-50 and we both gave a HI-5!

NEXT STOP!!!
This is our on-going project the entrance, but that's another story!

HoPe YOU are in the best of everything dear bloggie friends.
See You All and God Bless in a Blessed W/end.

  3. Hej Chie
    Vilken skillnad, det kan man kalla renovering! Så fint det blev med sänggaveln och fondtapeten, ett helt nytt och vackert sovrum. Ska bli roligt och se vad ni hittar på men entren, perfekt att den är under tak. Där kan du hitta på mycket, bra men en händig man också. Ha nu en fortsatt skön helg.
    Kramar till dig vännen

    Jag gillar verkligen ditt nya sovrum. Men det gamla var också fint på något sätt. Särskilt med spetsen så fint arrangerad på väggen.
    Lycka till med altanprojektet!

    Oj vilken vacker blogg du har!! Älskar alla fina bilder. Så vackert hem du har! Jag kan titta på dina bilder hur länge som helst.

  11. It is hard to imagine whether an idea will work in a big project like this! You have done so well and the light colour scheme keeps the room looking as large as possible! A great effort!

  13. Good luck--and stamina--to you as the renovations continue!

    A SHADOW THE SIZE OF THE SUN

    If I had a shadow the size of the sun,
    I’m not sure how fast I’d be able to run,
    Or if I could flee from its ravenous jaws,
    While keeping away from its razor-sharp claws!

  19. U always thought your home was very attractive before the updates. A place of style and family love...the new year is starting off quite well, Patti is through her cancer treatments, and her hair is growing back-yay! I was advised a long time ago, your home is where your children grow up. So no matter where life takes us, that is where home is. Happy New Year!

Having a BALL in our Outdoor cozy lounge...

AT LAST!!! Isn't it an easy life when our weather is not that HOT or too COLD ? ***  Det är så underbart liv när vädret tillåter. Absolut man får njuta det ljuva livet i solen. This is the time when I move our lounge outdoor and just loving to pamper it with my simple way and a dash of a chic style (at least) I feel it. *** En härlig dag sån här årstid. Jag flyttade vardagsrummet i uteverandan och den älskar jag. En enkel stil med en liten chic-touch! Here is my new outdoor LOUNGE!!!   Me & GH went for a morning walk (as always)   Preparing for a cozy outdoor lounge... I move the buffé table and gathered my treasures...  I gathered all my pensies in my galvanized tray... Cotton cookie holder from Malta with a St. John's cross My wrought cloche which I wanted to rust but still long way to go...  Mini grill? GH asked! Guess NOT! Don't you like it?   This corner will be a drink corner and ready to serve us... GH cho

Inherited--- A Vintage and Delicate Treasure

A sofisticated to my eyes... When I was young, I know what we had on top of my family's table. I don't really care what kind of treasures we had? I just remember that my grandfather had a very fine china set and unfortunately ended to a wrong greedy grandchildren, my first cousin's wife. Mum inhereted some of the set and as I recall she adored them till her last breath. If I am still living in The Philippines, I would love to keep them by myself. Hopefully, dear sis will adore as Mum does. Then, my new life started when I marry GH and move to Stockholm, Sweden 25 yrs ago. I know my love of kitchen/tables gadgets, i.e. household utensils, deep in my heart. It was already forseen by many of our friends--- my pedantic way and the love of a house to make it a home. I thank you Mum for that. It is true the saying " what we had experienced from our childhood, is what we get when we have our own" ? Well, when GH mother passed away 2 decades ago, GH inherite

The first real Amazing Spring Day...

AT LAST... This is really the first day with a great sunshine! It was just a busy day but we are  HAPPY ...  indeed   So, here was our day... An absolutely fine day... me & GH went for a walk... to see---- Cherry blossoms BlooM to the Max... this is one of the attraction in time like this in Kingsgarden... On the way home, this advertisement from 7-Eleven catches my attention... Then met these witches, LoL* sharing their goodies... that's another way around, huh? Then, when we came home, nothing can stop US... GH fix the gazebo in the mini-house in the garden... And the real witch is busy with her chores! Guess she is ready to party! When you see clothes hanging outdoor? That is really a hot day, :-) I hope you have a great weekend, too. Enjoy and have a blessed Easter Sunday to You All. God Bless Us All...
