Well, I do window shop sometimes, but this week, I came home with a bag of hairbands from Accessorize and undies from Topshop. I have a soft spot for bows and ribbons on clothes, shoes, bags, earrings and what have you.

Here’s presenting one of the largest bows I own to date:

In the end, he had to cut away all the teeth. LOL. Check out the bald comb. Thank goodness I’m not the bald one. 😛

And finally, here’s our Louis Ghost Chair in glossy black. Nobody sits on it though. 😛 It is really more of an ornamental piece of furniture.

I wanted to pay for it out of my own pocket.

I swear I’ll never even dream of paying that kind of price for a bag..er except for Chanel..but well, that’s not the point.

So yes, other than the Louis Ghost Chair, I have fallen prey to cow hide rugs.

Cow hide rugs add an interesting perspective to the room, especially if baroque accents are included. The juxtaposition of modern and classical elements creates a very luxurious and stylish look. I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

I was so taken by it at evov living that I wanted to bring it home immediately. It would already be in our new home if not for the fact that our tempered glass coffee table would inevitably leave a dent on that beautiful piece of art.

Because of that, we went home with a furry grey and white rug instead. It was a real steal too, thanks to the shop’s clearance sale haha.

I must say that evov living has top notch service staff. I’ll definitely go back there to get that piece of cow hide when I decide to forsake my coffee table, which won’t be any time soon (I swear I can hear JW heave a sigh of relief).

Now I’m wondering if we should get the furry cushions from evov to match our new rug.

Ok… now I think I can hear JW’s heart beat twice as fast as his normal pace. His heart must be in his throat now hahaha.

What a terrible gf I am..:P

The dining table looks really small here, but it’s quite huge in real life. We’re still short of two chairs at the moment.

The backsplash has been added and the fridge has been delivered.

The wallpaper was not up yet when we took these photos..but we were told that it’ll be up by today. The entire wall behind the bed will be covered in muted gold wallpaper.

The Louis Ghost in Crystal. I initially wanted the crystal ones, but we thought black would go better with our red sofa.

I saw the Victoria Ghost chairs at JW’s friend’s ROM ceremony on Saturday, and I was the only nut raving about it endlessly.
Tell me that the stocks will be arriving soon pls?

An updated photo of the MBR. I love the chandelier!! The room is painted in a shade of greyish-beige, but it didn’t turn out too well in the photos. We are putting up wallpaper in the recess wall area as well. There will also be full-length curtains in dark red to add a bold contrast to the neutral palette. The cupboard here actually belongs to JW’s walk-in wardobe, which is currently still under construction.

My wide full-length mirror in the walk-in-wardrobe. I haven’t taken a pic of the vanity area, but I’ll take pics once I put up the black string curtains (thanks to my ID’s suggestion). Exactly what I wanted!

They have also helped us tremendously, particularly with the selection of the lights and toilet accessories. Although our ID firm has an existing partnership with a particular light shop in Balestier, our designer didn’t bat an eyelid when we told her we wanted to look around first. She spent a few hours with us, combing through practically all the light shops along Balestier Road before we finally concluded that the shop that she recommended was still the best.

She was instrumental in helping us with our curtain selection as well, given that we are quite clueless about the colours and materials that we should choose. Most importantly, there are no extra fees for the additional things that we have requested for *fingers crossed*!!

After interacting with them over the past 6 months or so, our relationship has somewhat progressed from a working relationship to that of friendship. Both the boss and designer will be attending our wedding too. 🙂

On a separate note, today’s my birthday!!! Yay, since it falls on a public holiday, I don’t have to take leave. 😛 The lovely colleagues gave me a treat at Hanabi last week, where I ate till I couldn’t move. Met up with some old friends over dinner as well, and I got pressies from Jacq & Shihui! Little gestures like these always make me smile. 😉

Photos taken today
We went up to our apartment again today because the most of the lights and cupboards were up. I love the dining room lights and master bedroom chandelier.

1)Living Room by Night

The false ceiling and cove lighting are finally completed.

TV Console – Wallpaper to be put up soon

2) Dining Area

The dining room lights are up!

I love this to bits because of the baroque motifs and intricate details. The bulbs are not as conspicuous in real life.

3) Walk-in Wardrobe

I’m so glad I chose a dark shade of brown for my WIW. It comes together with a custom-made vanity area too. No photos of that yet.

4) Kitchen

White kitchen cabinets. The doors are actually embossed with baroque floral motifs.

5) Master Bedroom Toilet

White WC and washbasin. Table top will be in black.

Can’t wait for my MBR chandelier to be up! No pics of my master bedroom yet as there’s really nothing much to photograph except for the painted walls. 😉

I’m not much of an F1 fan, but I had an incredible time munching on free food and gossiping with my crazy colleagues. Erm…I sound so auntie.

Here’re some lousy pics from my hp:

I can’t imagine why anyone would pay so much to watch the race from the grandstand. Our weather is so hot and humid!!

The waitresses were very amazed when we ordered this after devouring our main courses. I may be skinny, but I eat like a cow.

I think we look like kids.

Presenting our two walk-in-wardobes (still under construction):
