Pom-pom Pretty

It's been a while since I last did an interiors post! Sharing with you these pom-pom throw pillow covers I recently got. I wasn't actively seeking out new pillow covers, but I chanced upon one of the posts of the seller on Instagram and thought I'd check out the account. Saw these designs and thought they were just too cute. These throw pillow covers are P320 each from The Nifty Decorator.

Is it just me? Or is the minimal style on its way out? Or maybe I'm growing out of of my minimalist phase and slowly embracing color. Our living room is where we usually spend most of our time. I've slowly veered away from white, gray, and brown (Oh and black-- Kevin's PS4 Pro and Xbox) and incorporated little elements to spruce up the area. Our huge couch is gray and our walls white so I thought the contrast of these two colorful pom-pom throw pillow covers serve a nice little contrast.  

While I like to keep our bedroom white, clean, and bright (I think Kevin thinks so too because he rarely stays in the bedroom even though we have a TV there. Once I've made the bed he'll prefer lounging around in the living room)--I'd like our living room to look cozy and inviting, and adding pops of color looks like it certainly helps. 

What do you think of the new addition? 

Bedside Table Inspiration

It has been six months since we moved into our rented condo, and I still don't have a bedside table. Normally I'd put my phone on Kevin's side since he has one. I'd really like my own now since I've gotten sick of rolling over to his side to put/get my phone on his bedside table. Also, I'd really like to get a lamp so I could get some reading in before I sleep.

What I have in mind is something a bit light, won't take up too much space, will have ample surface for a lamp, my phone, and several (stacked) books. Our bedroom walls are white and we have parquet wood flooring so I guess/hope that it won't be too hard to find something that will match those.

I haven't started on a real hunt yet, but here are some of my inspirations.

1. Wooden with an Industrial Touch

Our condo is heavy on wood so something like this would definitely match. If I had my way though, I'd like to incorporate industrial elements to break the heavy wood aesthetic.

2. Geometric with lots of storage

I have a soft spot for geometric accents so if I find one like this I'd probably buy it on the spot. I really like the shape and storage, but maybe in white since lighter wood could clash with the heavy wood elements in our bedroom. 

3. Cart

I'd love to find a cart similar to this! It's industrial, there's so much storage, AND it would make cleaning the area SO MUCH EASIER as opposed to having a chunky, heavy one which is so hard to move whenever I'm sweeping the floor.

4. Stool 

I have a strong feeling that I will end up buying this for my bedside table. There are soooo many options and it's functional for reaching stuff stored in high areas HEHEHE. Maybe I should consider getting a step ladder for a bedside table? HEHE. 

Once I've found something I'll make sure to post the before and after on the blog. Wish me luck on my hunt!

Dining Prints Picking

Prior to getting married, Kevin and I decided we would rent a condo unit first before finally deciding on where or which city we would settle in. Since we are just renting, we have limited say on how we want our unit to look. Since we are the second tenants of the condo, we have inherited some decor that clash with our (or maybe just mine.....) taste. Like the current print/painting/fabric hanging in our dining area. Since Kevin agreed that we could put something else since there might be a chance that we'll be staying in the condo for another year, I am now on the hunt for a good print.

As of the moment, I've removed the current print so now there's a huge gaping space in our dining that is begging for a display. Here are some of my etsy finds:

1. Joey Tribbiani Print. I'm sure Kevin (a huuuuuuuuge Friends fan) will love this.
2. The Fruit of the Spirit Pineapple Wall Art. Partial to this pineapple print because my Pug Porkchop loves pineapples.
3. Pepper Print. Love this print since we love spicy food and it will give a nice pop of color in the unit.
4. Cutlery Patent. I have an unexplained attraction for this type of prints.
5. Bon Appetit Dining Room Wall Art. I threw this into the mix because a. I love marble; b. I love geometric accents; and c. i love rose gold.

If you know other places where I can get prints, do let me know in the Comments Section!
