White. White. White.
I have this obession with white lately. As in, in home decor. I have this vision in my head…white-washed walls, white slipcovered sofa, white coffee table, white cabinets, with accents of colours, olive green, yellow, coral, turqoise etc. With white, I can change colour schemes every 6 months to a year with my handmades cushion covers, table linens…etc.
Bright and airy.

The interest of home decor came up the last one month as I am moving. From our comfortable flat of 10 years to another flat.
Did I mentioned that it is just a vision? White is hard to maintain when I have a 4 year old at home and besides, I do not want the hassle of upholstering the slipcovers on my blah beige coloured sofa.
Besides, most of my furniture are in shades of tan, brown and dark brown. No plans to change most of the furniture as I am planning to keep decorating of the new home capped at $500. It will be interesting to play with such a serious palette and brighten it up with my stash of fabrics in various shades, and white.
In the meantime. I will be busy with re-decorating with new handmades for the home and second hand furniture shopping.
So, stay tuned for more posts on home and decor in the next couple of weeks.
Wow, moving house! But house moving is tiring!
I love white too! Yes, bright and airy! I cannot stand clutter.. I like space… so now the 6 pieces of dining chairs have been reduced to 4 cos’ I can’t stand the sight of that clutter in a small space. Haa!
Enjoy your home and decor process!

Indeed it is tiring! Going with less clutter with the new place as well…hiding as many things I can in the wardrobes n cabinets. Less furniture is a problem though…we still need ours and its tough when some of the rooms are smaller than our existing home.
Shifting house is an exciting but VERY tiring process. We’re into our 2nd month after moving to our new flat, but we still have stuff left unpacked. Can you believe it? We also have minor touch-ups here and there still uncompleted.
I love all white theme too… looks so pure and clean. But the maintenance can be crazy, especially with kids around. Have fun renovating and decorating your new home!
Thanks Ing, hopefully the process is all worthwhile after we get to experience the final product of a less cluttered home.
