My room is full of our wedding photos, I just can’t have the walls being empty and painted with paint only. I like to have some nice photos and pictures on them as home decor. When I have a house next time, I will get some nice painting for the house, preferably some modern art.
But well, I will have to decide on this later as this house is full of MIL’s art collection! I have to delay my decor until I have a house.
I love to spend some time outside of the house. Sometimes I will have my cup of coffee outside in the morning, or watching over the kids, knitting, or just watching the rain with my kids. When I have a new house next time, I may set up a deck outside so that we can still enjoy some outdoor moments like this.
If you are thinking about getting a deck, you can get it from Houston deck installation. They have a lot of treated lumber or super-durable composite decking materials which are affordable. If you can’t pay up everything in cash, there is an easy financing option in which you can pay your home improvement costing in installment.
Well, I hope that I can get a good home maker here when I have my own house. Having a deck is going to be great for family BBQ parties!
Besides that, I will also use Houston siding doors for some part of the house to save up the space. If hubby would be agree on having a Japanese tea room, that will be even better!
I’m not new to this site, in fact, I have been checking out the furnitures featured on Great Priced Furniture for some time. I like the bedroom furniture especially because I have always preferred the classic wooden colour or the metal type of furniture so that they will not be easily outdated 10 years later.
They have recently updated their site, and I think it is more convenient of online shoppers now. The furnitures are being classified according to living room, bedroom, kids room, dining and others. But my favourite category is budget furniture. I have been to this site for a few times, and previously, I have always thought that the furnitures are very pricey. I can’t afford something like this!
But after reviewing the budget section, I guess I can get some nice items too. 
Ikea is one of the place I like to shop in when I’m in KL. I haven’t bought the bigger furnitures like dining sets, or sofa, or bed, most of the time we only bought the smaller stuffs like cushions, cups, decorations, mirrors and stuffs like that.
I love the showrooms, they are simple and functional. It fits the concept of a small condo or apartment too.
But there are something I want to get from there, and they will be the pictures and frames. I found a few good ones which are great for our condo in KL, and with some decoration, it might look like one of those nice Condo Hotels. My hubby doesn’t have time to furnish the place. The drills and curtains which I bought 3 years ago are still being stored in one of the rooms and no one is fixing them up. The kitchen is unfurnished and I can’t even cook there. There are so many things that need to be done on the condo, but we didn’t have the time for it. Unless I will be staying there for a month or 2 to supervise the renovation, if not, it is quite impossible.
But someday, I got to get those nice furnitures from Ikea, and make the place just like one of those showrooms.
We have PVC table and chairs are in front of the house as MIL prepared them for the gardeners or workers who come and work at our house every month. After working in the garden for a while, they will take a short break by taking the tea and snack MIL prepares for them.
But due to rain and shine, the furnitures crack and split in easily, thus we have to replace them once in a while. Maybe we should try out patio furniture table covers that are water proof, fade resistant, have UV inhibitor and carry a warranty. It’s not easy to get one from the stores, so if MIL is really interested, we have to get it online.
Thus, let me figure out how much we can save on the replacement furnitures first. If the covers save up a lot, then it’s better to buy them anyway!
I’m not good at gardening. My cactus died months after I planted them, and the cucumber stalks that I planted with my kids never surfaced from the ground. I just can’t figure out why. 
So, I prefer to decorate my house, when I get one, with silk trees. Who cares if they are fake? As long as I get the greenery effect in the house, and I don’t have to bother about watering them, it’s good enough for me.
But for outdoor, if we can afford it, I want to have a Bali and Japanese style garden. Wah……it will sure be nice to stroll in the garden of greens. But I need to hire a gardener, that is so sure. If not, all the plants will died in months. LOL!
MIL doesn’t have range hoods at home, she prefers to use ventilation and the wet kitchen is built at the end of the house. But my mum has a hood at home which she hardly uses it. Frankly, with our Chinese cooking style, a hook is not as practical as it is, unless we cook like westerners or just simply steaming or stewing. The kitchen is still as oil as ever with the hook switched on when we are frying a fish!
So, it’s a good buy for your kitchen, if you just want to have the look. Ha! It’s not really practical to me, but everyone has it, so I will get one too if I have my house.
If I have a house, this is one of the furnitures I would like to have. I know that teak outdoor furniture may not be suitable for our weather, and who would really sit there and eat except in the morning and evening, since our sun is so bad here.
But who cares? It looks nice in the garden and that is what matter the most to me. LOL! BTW, it would be nice to have a barbecue and make good use of the outdoor furniture too.
Sigh! Can’t wait to have my own house!
My house has a few original oil paintings which FIL bought a long time ago from some art galleries. Most of the paintings are about scenery, running houses or koi fish. There are some feng sui elements in those paintings, and FIL was hoping that they will not only beautify the house, but will bring in good luck as well.
However, I don’t really like the paintings. I removed the one in hubby’s study room after I converted the room into the kids playroom. The previous painting just doesn’t match in. I like these paintings from www.BeautifulRealArt.com.
The colours are great, and it will spice up the room. Most importantly, they match the theme of a kid’s room.
At the same time, this masterpiece will be perfect for our living room too. We used to have one Chinese ink painting, but I accidentally spoiled it when I was cleaning up the house 2 years ago at a spring cleaning. I think MIL will appreciate it if I get this as replacement.

If I have my house next time, I surely want to have a big garden in Bali style. Then I will place some teak outdoor furniture at the parlor so that I can sip my afternoon coffee and blog from my laptop. Wah! Doesn’t this sound nice?
Furthermore, if it comes with red cushion, I will be screaming in delight! Maybe I watched too much Desperate Housewife where the actresses will have afternoon tea, chit-chatting and gossip on each other’s garden bench, that’s why I have fantasy about it. I want to have some girl friends over to my parlor too!
Ah…..can’t wait to have my own house!
