A Piece of My Paradise On Earth

I've been longing for a proper kitchen set for a very long..long..time
This is my next room in the house that's out of the renovating touch..

And the thing is I'm a moody person when it comes to cooking..
When I don't feel like it, I don't cook at all..
But most of the time, I love cooking...
I love cooking so much,
I'd stock them!
Because I kept on cooking..and cooking..and cooking..
I would cook for breakfast, lunch, dinner..
and everything in between..brunch, snacks, supper..
Up until there's no more room for any food left..
so stocking it up will do..

When I'm in that mood..
Now, that is when I really long for a nice place to accommodate my mood..
hahaha..
Well, I do just fine with my existing kitchen though..
My kids and friends love my cooking..
But, I bet I'd do much more better if I did it in a kitchen that I've been longing for..

The style would be as simple as possible though..
But still, it would be a simple me!
A hint of ethnic..
A dash of bling..
Sassy!!

Let's go through this one by one..
or well at least..let's imagine this one by one..
Ok, Dreaming begin..

First thing first..The Counter top!
Granite would be out of my league..
Synthetic granite...could be a dream, hope it would come true..
But I have my heart on Solid Wood!!
So material wise, it's a combination of Wood and Natural Stone!!





So, what goes more perfectly with wood and stone than
White and Flowy..
Perfectly Natural..






It's so Obvious what I want!
Balinese style..

Everything from there is down hill..
Let it flow..



I love the idea of placing the food on ethnically dishes..
Potteries, bamboo plates, stone bowls..

And how everything in the dish use the natural herbs or ingredients to garnish them..
Sereh, banana leaves,..


And all the completion of the design would make it Amazing..
Dimmed lightings would be wonderful..
Uuuu..and Candle lights are delightful..





Some touches of greens would definitely make a statement of Bali..
and it's not Bali if there's no kamboja flower tree..
So, I can pull some plants in potteries here and there..


Let's get totally Balinese crazy..
and make space for some..
Balinese umbrellas?..
somewhere..
hahaha..maybe just a miniature of them?
Well, or maybe just a painting of them...


A girl can dream..can they..

Dreaming of Morocco



I've been dying to decorate my bedroom
I've lived in about 6 different bedrooms since ive got married
my bedroom is never a part of the house that's
prioritized to be decorated
its the last thinkable thing to do..


But not have been decorating it,
didn't mean I didn't think about it..
More than that,
Being so long..
The concept kept on changing..
and I've been collecting
many ideas for it

So, first
it was simple sweet classic

And then
Came the Indian concept

After that,
I went through a very long pause
of getting tired thinking that it's not going to happen soon..
But these last weeks,
I've fallen in love with..
Moroccan style..








I love all the elements..
I love the colorful stained glass
on windows..
on lanterns..



I adore the colorful mozaic ceramic tiles that are all over the places
on buildings; walls, floors, ceilings..
on potteries..
on tables..
on everything..




Despite all the lovely materials that is used..
I heart all the ornaments that's common in Moroccan style..


..the low height tables
the lanterns..
the potteries..
the rugs..
the cushions..
the dishes..


No to deny that they are amazingly colorful..
they feel so comfortably down to earth.

And the best,
In my opinion would be..
The lanterns..
Beautiful!!!




















The overall look and atmosphere is PASSIONATELYAMAZING!!!
