Remember when I tried styling my home office shelves several ways, but wasn’t quite happy with the results of my labor? I think I’ve finally styled them in a way that I find satisfying. If you don’t remember, these are the different permutations of what my home office shelves looked like before.

9 creative ways to make your own headboard
Hello! Well now wasn’t today’s onslaught of rain and wind (and hail in some parts of the metro, I hear!) something?

Switching up the look of my home office shelves (part 1)
I spend almost every day in our home library, which is what I use as my own office. I’ll have you know that we own a lot of stuff—and I do mean a loooot of stuff—and despite regularly holding garage sales, we never seem to run out of them. Our library is no exception. My husband and I are […]
Event styling: Glamour-themed 18th birthday party

When I moved out from our over 500-sqm house in the suburbs and into a four-storey, all-concrete townhouse with my own family, one of the things that I dearly missed was having a garden. My childhood bedroom window used to face the west, and outside was a backyard populated by a large santol tree, an […]
Pulling off an outdoor father's day breakfast picnic
Belated Happy Dads’ Day to all the fathers, single parents, and guardians out there! To celebrate my hubby’s second year as a Papa to our babycat, I pulled off a surprise breakfast picnic for him on our roofdeck. We are both such fans of picnics for its (seemingly) carefree vibe and (seemingly) easy prep and […]
