Deco deco deco.......sparkling and glitter.....

Silver or chrome candle stands
OMPrada.....for so long the blog was left untouched.....busy with so many things. :-( Today I have a wee bit of spare time to share something on deco....... How to get the expensive look without spending thousands of ringgit....... Simple tricks are.....firstly, look for bargain and discount items......buy these items when they are in sale......usually before you need them.....planned in your head what you really need to get the look....always think about accesories rather than the big furnitures.......secondly, the rich look requires just a wee bit of effort....just add something BLINK BLINK to your space.....what I meant is by using deco items with glittering gold, silver or diamond effects or color

Lumbar pillow with sequins
and thirdly, do not over do this, if you are the 'mak datin' type it is OK. The blink blink should be used sparingly as highlight.....but not as the main attention foci........do not combined goldish colour sofa with glitering sparkling pillow.....good  example include plain satin curtain with gems effect curtain deco, pastel colour sofa with sparkling pillow, dark dining table with silver candlestand .... OK that is my 5 cents idea on deco for today :-) Don't worry you'll do fine.....if you buy a little first, don't go mad, people might labelled you as manic!

    Tat crystal curtain tie looks great!! Mind share where u get tat?? I totally agree tat goods (needed in future) shd b bought before we need.
    I'm looking for carpet recently. Just bought a "micro-fibre" red carpet. I saw tat kind of carpet every where, night market, shopping centre. N the price ranges from few hundreds to thousand for same piece (based on my judgement) of carpet.

    I bought tat red carpet wit the price of 150 from a parkistanian which was sold 250 a day before I bought. I was so surprised.

    Thank you May for the sharing. The crystal curtain tie back may be found at SSF or Houz Depot, or you can buy fake crystal from SSF or any shops selling beads and ribbons, and make your own following your taste.

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero.  Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA cab

Too dark...too bright....

Too dark or too bright.....this is due to poor exposure of the sensor to light. Is it a problem if my photo is too dark or too bright? May be yes and may be no, depends on what you want in your image. If the photo is too dark (underexposed), you will loss the detail of the shadow. If the photo is too bright (overexposed), you will loss the texture of the cloud and sky. Exposure is a combination of two fundamental settings: the aperture opening and the shutter speed. Aperture opening is the function in your lens and the shutter speed is the function in your camera. Optimal exposure can be achieved with many combinations of aperture opening size and the shutter speed, BUT each combination will have differences in depth of focus, motion blur and etc. How this exposure can be controlled? The answer is by having a good understanding of the combination of aperture and shutter speed. Shallow depth of focus, focus point was on the middle broccoli, focal length of 50 mm, large aperture ope

Cranberry and Raisin Scones....simply yummilicious

The scone baking project was to fulfill the weekend afternoon, and not because of the "doughnut story".....hihihi. Here I share the basic scone recipe. As I have mentioned earlier "Now everyone can bake", as such the recipe is easy to follow. Ingredients: 2 cups plain flour 1/3 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup butter 1 egg (medium) beaten with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup whole milk 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1:1 ratio of egg:milk wash Method: Pre-heat the oven to 180-200C. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (photo 2) and then follow by the egg and vanilla. Add in the milk slowly to form a firm soft dough that can be roll out. Stir until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add in the dried cranberries and raisins. Roll out the dough on floured surface to 2 cm thickness. Using a 5 cm round scone cu
