Polar bear

Chance upon Susanna Vento's blog and found this lovely table that was featured.

It's her new dinning table. I love how the Marble table top fits in so well with the colour of the wood. Made by Tebian with Birch and Marble with a dimension of 2000 x 700 x 730(LxWxH).

Photos from Varpunen. Thanks for the photos!

[05] Queenstown

We flew from Rotorua to Queenstown, like taking a bus. Except it cost us about $300 plus.

Look at how blue the sky was when we landed.



Probably my favourite place in New Zealand, this place is so pretty. I don't mind retiring here. My soon to be new place its in Queenstown <3 can't wait.

Taking our touristy photo.



We spend a couple of nights in this Four Seasons Motel.



Went to try their cookie time! So yums that we brought a few kgs of them back!



We went up the gondola to have our dinner settled there.

View from the top, had to snap 1 for keepsake. :)

That's pretty much our first day in Queenstown.

Attracted by the nice color combination that ShadeonShape has for their wooden and ceramic home decor. It feels so mild and sweet at the same time. For those looking to add a touch of colors in their home. This is it!

Making food into wallpaper...

By Elizabeth Olwen is a Toronto-based surface designer. Inspired by pastoral beauty, nature in its most playful forms, folklore, and romance, Elizabeth’s work is driven by the desire to leave something beautiful behind with every step she takes.  Her obsession with patterns began as a child when she would become mesmerized by the orange floral drapes in her mother’s kitchen. Surrounded by bold, unapologetic prints, patterns were something that she could lose herself in; a window to faraway places.

Grey Sofa

Since I already know I want a home with lots of white spaces... One thing I'm definitely quite set on getting is a grey sofa. I been looking out for nice grey sofa from pinterest so here are some of my findings...

Dark grey sofa with simple textures. Matches really well with a light colored cushions! Loving the prints on the way, I'm so going to have tons of them...

I really like the lighter tones alot more but also not too light.Love how the cushions add more character to the sofa... and the lamps at the sides make its so funky.

This set of grey has a little of blue tones in it, and it doesn't have legs. I'm guessing it would be quite a pain to do the cleaning up.

I still need to sort out how the interior is going to look like before deciding on the exact grey that I want, or whether to have 2 or 3-seaters. Got legs or no legs?

But before that I'm already shopping for my cushions! =D
Here's my favourite from society6, support the creatives! I already bought 1 out of 4!
