Paper Cut Art...

Yayyyyyy.... It's December already !!!

It's been 3 months since I wrote my last post. Not because I'm busy, but it's because I have no idea on what to write. But today, I found a couple sites and I wanna share it here...!

Have you guys heard about Paper Cut Art !!??? It's an art using ( of course ) paper and a help of scissors. I know it sounds like a kindergarten kid daily job, but can you imagine what can you make with a piece of paper and a scissors ? You can create the world !!!

Soooo.... I've been googling and suddenly I found a site about the art of cutting or Psaligraphy by Karen Bit Vejle. The works are formed from a large and continuous piece of paper and the cut using only a pair of scissors. Every single cut must very well planned because one single mistake can affect the final result. You can go here to see some artwork by Karen Bit Vejle.

Here's a little sneak peek guys...
Enjoy !!

I hope my husband read this post, hehe...:)

There's soooooo many things I want in my life I can't even describe here...

1. Bourgie lamp

    I'm in love with this lamp since I saw Gossip Girl back in 2007. My fav is the crystal one, but I do love the

    black one tho'. You can  get the original one made  by Ferruccio Laviani for Kartell   here   for   $362.00 

    or the replica made in Taiwan for only IDR 875 K here

    This beauty will certainly light up my room !!

2. Black Chandelier
    You may wanna take a look first, here's a few examples I found on the net

 

This one is my fav chandelier

3. Silver sequin & gold cushions

    I think I have to admit that I'm a little bit obsessed  with Gossip Girl because I also  saw  these georgeous 

    cushions at Serena's room, hehe... After few researches,  I finally found a site that sold exactly   the same 

    silver bolster  that looks like in Serena's room ! It's a  bit pricey,   so I think I'm gonna find another way to 

    make it cheaper.

4. Large standing mirror
    Not only it will make your room more beautiful, but it will definitely  gave an illusion of a much bigger
    room... I'm thinking to have one in my bedroom.

5. Vintage Cargo Cases...

    You can just place them next to your bed and  use them as nightstand with stack of book or candles on

     top of it... Made from 100% recycled materials and the most important thing is   you don't have to pay 

     much !! It will be perfect for your make up & any other small things...You can buy it here for only $ 29.
     Too bad they can't ship overseas :(

6. Bracelet /  necklace rack holder

    Since I'm a fans of almost every kind of bracelets, bangles and necklace... I think I'm gonna need this

    jewelry standing holder. You can get it online here for $ 34.99

When my husband & I visited Singapore during our holiday last April, we went to IKEA store at Alexandra. There are actually 2 IKEA stores in Singapore, one in 317 Alexandra Road and the other is in  60 Tampines North Drive 2. We didn't have a chance to go to Tampines cause there's not enough time, but we will next time.

IKEA founded in 1943 by Ingvar Kamprad from Sweden. The company name is actually the initials of the founder's name. I for Ingvar, K for Kamprad, E for Elmtaryd ( the farm where Ingvar Kamprad grew up ) and A for Agunnaryd ( his village in South Sweden ). It's an international home products company and has become the world's largest furniture retailer. Most of IKEA's product is designed to be self-assembled to reduce costs of packaging and shipping air. I think it might work for countries that already have a proper transportation but not here in Indonesia where public transportations are still a major problem.

As we got there, the first thing that captured my eyes was the IKEA building itself. A very large second story blue building with yellow accents ( which I recently know as Sweden's national colors ). What I love the most about IKEA store is their showrooms. We can find like almost everything we need here, from furnitures to household needs. If you're looking for some ideas, I think IKEA might be the right place for you. Especially when you don't have enough space and minimum budget. 

Take a look at these pics I found on IKEA website

I love the bedsheet & cushions color
