Cabinetry.

One of the area that i love most in the house is warm and inviting kitchen.In my present house ,we have one proper kitchen only as the wet kitchen is very simple,just the stove placed on the counter top at the back of the house. For my dry kitchen they all white, i spent a lot on the cabinet,they are of a very good quality, using semangkok wood and was sprayed with white,the cabinet is the combination of everything as i want to have a bit of everthing : lattice doors,wood canopy hood,open shelves for plates,standing shelves for tv and oven and the carpenter had a done a very good job. For my new house i cant spend so much as i have dry and wet kitchen and i have to be careful with budget.I ve done my homeworks on how to save and at the same time to have your dream kitchen. I always dream of having french provencal kitchen,to have the the door cabinets be painted with regal blue,when i told my the cabinet man about the idea he was first sceptical about painting the doors blue as no locals like to have their kitchen in blue but i know what i want. So i have my wet kitchen in blue just like what i always imagined,for my dry kitchen i still like to maintain it white, to extend the feeling of the old kitchen in the new house,the only different is my new dry kitchen is using "barn doors ' design with porcelain door knobs which is handpicked by me. I have small bar top where i can place coffee pot and cakes there,there's a place for everybody especially for tia and mia. How i wish that i don't have to compromise with certain things due to the budget contsraint. My advice to those doing their kitchen cabinet: do your homeworks,know every basic so that you can tell exactly of what you want to your cabinet man ,if you have big budget do spent more on your kitchen as it will last forever and you gonna spend most of your time there,go for all the good quality materials like solid wood,granite or solid surface,good hood/hob and built in oven as these materials bring elegance and comfort. To me house is your foundation of nourishing love,it should be warm and loveable and therefore you should have the best materials.If i can summarize house it will be : wood,rock and clay-these materials are warm and friendly.


Porcelain door knob fixed on the barn door cabinet.

Built in oven is placed at the dry kitchen as i have planned my dry kitchen to be a place for coffee,cakes and magazines only.

Wet kichen in progress, two open shelves are fixed at the left and right side of the hood, the top cabinets will be in white while the base will be in regal blue. I love the tiffany pendant light as the yellow light compliment the blue base doors.


The regal blue doors waiting for door knobs to be fixed.

The men doing their works,they used laser lights to ensure accuracy..i love watching them doing works,so much you can learn from it.

Shabby Chic and Cottage Decor Craziness

lately ni mama asyik tengok blog orang yang gila shabby chic,cottage,english and french deco ..dasat betul la penuh rumah@shop dia orang..they really work hard for it collecting,importing and searching for the things they like..salute them all.mama pun suka jugak tapi tak suka la rumah jadi terlampau semak atau semua benda senada,seirama..in other words mesti ikut concept sebab nanti your house will look like a shop, it will loose the warm and cosy feel instead become cluttered and congested (views from unqualified interior decorator:)..what mama likes is for the house to grow by itself..having one thing from one place,the other from another place,no customize look and not restricted to one theme only.having said that mama drools over the things mama saw in these people's blogs..so mama told papa who shared the same interest with mama (so lucky mama managed to influence papa into liking what mama likes..heh..heehh) that we should pay a visit to this place as mama wants to get one or two thing..papa looked at mama and said " i think you better check your stocks in the storeroom mama..i think we have enough as i didn't see a single thing that we bought from the last trip displayed yet...hehhh..hehhhh..mama ketawa..because that is very true..we bought quite a lot and mama dah pun lupa..so last nite mama pi check semua barang balik..woooo..banyak rupanya..tapestries,painting,plate.lace,table runner,kitchen glove,candle holder..haaaa...haaaa..thank you papa..mama will start transferring those things to our new house.


these are some of the tapestries mama bought from Florence market,they are really beautiful,the price depends on the thread quality and its making.If the thread is really fine and smooth it will be more expensive..the first one from right in the lower row in the picture is the most expensive..they are very fine and that is why the colour is so soft.
Some of the soveniour and decoupage plates and plaques mama bought from Vienna,Venice and Florence.

At Pitti's Palace in Florence Country Site, this palace is fulled with antique tapestries and Chandeliars.


This is one of the tapestry, so big and grand..they are very old,handmade..we can only admire the art but cannot hang it at our house (as if they are giving it to us..hehh..hehh) because most of the tapestries will have features from Bible.

mama's most favourite market..fulled with all things that mama likes..first day mama came to Florence mama bought 8 tapestries from here plus other things,papa helped mama carried back to hotel,papa lost 2 of the tapestries on the way.mama was upset,the next day we went to the same stall and mama bought another 2 to replace the lost ones..baru satisfied.makcik belakang tu sampai suka kat mama..siap peluk2 lagi:)

another of mama's favourite..ceramic and porcelain..especially with olive and lemon motives.this shop with shy owner is fulled with wonderful plates,they are handmade and quite expensive,the small one can fetch hundreds,mama bought two small plates only.but now when looking at the picture..mama..uwaaaaaa..how mama wish mama bought all the big ones..nak..nakkk..nakkkkk..

papa likes painting..so we stopped at this shop in venice..the price is quite reasonble..they have original and reproduction paintings..we can only afford the reproduction.

Yeyy..this is the one papa chose..mama have framed it and now waiting it to be hanged at the right place in our new house...

Masa pregnant rupa macam mana yekk?

Semalam ada kawan lama mama called, dah lama betul tak jumpa..dulu2 masa study kawan baik,masa tu rupa pun lain agaknya,sekarang dah lama betul tak tengok agaknya rupa dia macam mana.Masa dulu2 mama memang kurus kering.sekeping betul..so kawan mama ni curious betul nak tengok macam mana la rupa mama masa pregnant..mama cakap la..dah lama betul dah 2 tahun pun you all..dari masa pregnant dulu kurus..ni dah gemuk balik la mama.ye la masa pregnant dulu kurus sebab mama sakit teruk..so masa early pregnancy dan late pregnancy tak de gambar..early sakit dan dah nak due pun sakit..masa sihat cuma masa 6 bulan pregnant jer.Sakit sejak awal,melepek kat rumah,sihat jer masa 6 bulan,mama ambik surat kat doctor terus fly pi Tokyo dengan papa..masa tu sejuk kat Tokyo you all nyorok2 dalam perut mama..ni lah saja gambar yang ada untuk kawan mama tengok dan you all jugak masa besar nanti.
