New Room Decorations!

Tuesday, August 3, 2010


Me again! Funny how I wrote a blog on my room just a few days ago and now it's redecorated and I'm making a new post on it.

Right, so the story is, when Listy and I went to Camby the other day, we went to this shop called Bed, Bath N' Table. I saw these adhesives with sakura prints on it and cute little baskets. I didn't buy them then because I thought I didn't really need them...

But several days later I couldn't help but be reminded of those two items and I imagined them in my room, they look good! Thus I thought I would spend a little money... teehee




Everything in my room is pink. It's a strict colour code! The basket with blue fabric actually looked better, but I wanted to keep everything uniform so there ya go, and I'm glad I chose pink.

It took me a long time to get these items because I couldn't remember the name of the shop, I only remembered the first two words 'Bed' and 'Bath'. When I google map-ed it on my iPhone, Bed, Bath and Beyond came out so I thought that was the correct name for it. Made me travel all the way to Collins/Spring St. to find that it didn't exist at all...! Blasphemy! (yes, I used that word)

Realising I might have gotten the wrong name, I re-googled. Properly this time, and apparently it was 'Bed, Bath N' Table'. So I went back to Little Collins/Elizabeth St. and tadaah found the shop, found the items, made my purchase. Room looks great! :3

my tiny sanctuary

Monday, July 26, 2010


Well I certainly did not expect to write another blog in such a short duration! This is good! So in this post I just want to make it short, really, since I have a lecture tomorrow morning. Here are some photos of my room!


I just tidied up everything, thrown out all the trash and all. Feels exhilarating to actually have empty space on my table. You have no idea what sorts of things were piling up there.

So from the left you see my lotion, room spray, kimidoll from Chu, mini drawer containing beads, strings and little trinkets, a used Moxie container where I put in my $1 coins for laundry, then a random bible that I got from some guy handing them out on the streets (I never opened that bible, but I thought it looked pretty nice on my table anyway), 'The Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James which I have yet to finish reading... honestly speaking I actually don't think I ever will (*cough* boring *cough*), "The Last Concubine" by Lesley Downer which I am reading at the moment and it's a great book, "Alice I Have Been" by Melanie Benjamin (done), "Can't Buy My Love" by Jean Kilbourne which is the advertising book I mentioned in the previous post.

Then on the little windowsill there's a seashell which I keep since it looks like a boob so I call it boobshell, a badge from Juen which apparently she thinks looks like me, 500 rupiah coin, 5 cent coin, 3d glasses, miniature mannequin which I shaped to look motivational! Next, hanging down from a pink string, are my keychains, from the top, is the alien from Tasmania's marketplace which my brother said looks like me. Sadly, I have just cut half its mouth off since the string came loose so now it's only half-lipped. I felt so guilty I pat the doll's head several times and apologised. Below it is the pretty pink bird presented as a gift from my brother who was considerate enough to think of me during one of his dates.

Beside the window is a printout of a Melbournian sunset. I think that was around Autumn where the skies were beautiful every single day. Then you see Gulo, my precious little doll from a quaint little lace shop in Tasmania. It's meant to remind me of Gucci and Polo. It's sitting above a pretty rose-patterned pillow from Index, Indonesia. Then there's my sleeping pillow which has a lavender sachet from Hokkaido inside it that helps me sleep sometimes.



On the wall to the right of the uh...wall you see in the previous picture, there is another window! I have two windows in my little room~ And today the weather was absolutely perfect, the sky was brilliant! But alas I was stuck at home with my projects (boy do I have a lot). But that's perfectly okay with me! Who says you can't enjoy the weather from the inside. I opened the windows to let the fresh air in, wore the silk over-kimono from Beijing which I usually wear to sleep (it is white, and printed with images of cherry blossoms and peacocks), jumped onto my fluffy bed, laid amongst my pillows, hugged Gulo, turned on some music, put my feet up on the cool window, and relaxed... aaah... life is great. Felt like I was walking on the sky.


This is the continuation of that wall, I hang lots of my clothes here and this happened to be one of my rare-wears, it's actually my mom's sweater so it's rather baggy if I wear it. But the colour struck me as attractive a few days ago so I decided to put it on. Red makes you feel special. And it was even better hung against my white wall with the sunshine pouring through making the colour contrast so stark and crisp, and... just simply a good photo right?

That's it about my room (for now at least)! Cao~
