Shabby Farmhouse Style Of Organized At Home – Work Station

Shabby Farmhouse Style Of Organized At Home – Work Station

 

I love to sketch some interior of one area, or one room or simply one function. This a small functional area at home that I had in mind. A work station, yes, an area that often neglected in term of home decor or styling. Actually, work station at home is a very significant place for us to gain our creativity, inspiration, and mood. For me, a work station should be:

1. Organized and in-order

So it would not be difficult to work; like finding things we need, finding un-clutter space to work,  bring some peaceful mind to work. So here’s what to do:

• Tidy up your working station, organized your stuff and keep it in wall organizer, drawer, boxes, etc.
• Organized your activity every day, like making a to-do list, reminders and organized it on wall boards.
• Always leave enough empty space in your desk, do not stack all your stuff on your desk, leave some room for your creativity to take the stage.

2. Beautiful and stylish

This is the most important ingredient in mood and inspiration recipe. Great looking work station and personal favorite touch will boost your creativity; well at least I do. so, style your work station with your favorite things, colors, patterns, style. in the end, your very personal touch will shown on your at home – work station.

In my design of this mini at home-work station, I choose to finish it with blue shabby farmhouse style. It is calm and sweet with the shabby touch and have strong character from the rustic look of farmhouse style.

The drawing is using drawing pen that I finished with watercolor pencil. It is a drawing that you can add anything later to expand the design of the room. Well, maybe I will do that someday 🙂

Well, I hope you enjoy my design of this small area of organized at home – work station with shabby farmhouse style.

Please follow me for more creations, designs and ideas!

 

See you!

Let your creativity loose!

Decor Your Home with Greens

Decor Your Home with Greens

Have you ever run out of fresh-cut flowers in your home while you’re expecting sudden guest? Or do you bored with flowers on the vase as a decor on your table? Or you just simply wanna cut your expense budget and save some? Well, maybe my ideas can answers all those questions.

Have you ever noticed that some greens look not just appetizing but also so beautiful. I always admires some greens for its beauty before I cut them into a bowl of salad. Some even look like a blooming flower. So, I tried to put some greens into a vase and it turned out to be a beautiful piece of table decoration.

How to do it? Just grab some of your greens from your fridge or buy some in the market and use it for a home decoration. get your fancy vases and arrange the greens nicely then you got yourself a centerpiece. Isn’t it convinient?After that you still can cut them and make it into a bowl of yummy salad. Free and pretty! Besides, you give more meaning to the greens, so it wouldn’t be used only for plating decoration or veggies to eat but also as home decoration.

On the picture showed, I used different kind of salanova lettuce, I love its blooming look. And since salanova is a short blooming greens, I use short vases with big opening to accommodate its big bloom. There are more greens you can use though, just be creative.

I hope this idea can flourish your home with beauiful spring blooms but free and easy.

Be creatively Green!

See you again!

4 Easiest and Cheapest DIY Easter Decoration from Plastic Surprise Eggs

4 Easiest and Cheapest DIY Easter Decoration from Plastic Surprise Eggs

For those who have kids at home, whether it’s your son, daughter, niece, grandchild, etc; must know about plastic surprise eggs. And for those who don’t, it is an egg made of plastic that usually contains surprise toys and/or candies. After so many purchases of surprise eggs, you must have a lot of collection of plastic eggs 🙂

Well, to make use of those plastic surprise eggs, I got an idea to re-use it for Easter decoration. This decoration is easy and cheap, it takes only 10 minutes to make. So, it is a good solution to your last-minute Easter decoration.

I came out with 4 easiest and cheapest DIY Easter decoration from plastic surprise egg. it was 4 different style of decorations which basically chic style; I named them chic simple, country chic, elegant chic and playful chic. Okay, it does not as complicated as it sounds. to achieve chic style, you just need to use pastel or neutral colors, lace or any other soft fabrics, floral patterns or ornaments, all soft and feminine looking pieces.

Now, here’s what you need to make these decorations:

1. Plastic surprise eggs. I happened to have so many yellow plastic eggs, and it is a quite neutral color.
2. Any neutral/matching color container, could be wire basket, plates etc. I got yellow wire basket, bamboo tray (I got it from gift basket), small green bamboo basket (also from gift package)
3. Ribbons. I use some of my satin ribbons that matches the yellow color…keep it neutral.
4. Fabrics. I got small pieces of satin fabric in ivory, it is a good color to use as a base.
5. Ornaments, could be tiny bunny doll, flowers, etc. I have this yellow fury flexible string and ribbon roses.

You can use and add any items you have and incorporate it with your own style. Basically is to achieve easy and cheap DIY Easter decorations from plastic surprise egg that you can do within 10 minutes.

The best part of these decorations is that you can return all the plastic surprise eggs back to your kids! Because the eggs is not changed at all, just untie the ribbons, and it will be back as plain plastic eggs again. So, you just borrow it for seasonal decorations which you don’t have to buy.

Well, I hope my 4 easiest and cheapest DIY Easter decoration from plastic surprise egg can help you with last-minute Easter decorations.

Style Your Desk With White

White – Be purely sophisticated

I know I have posted so many colors as an accent to style your desk in daily color mood, from black, blue, yellow, green, red, purple to pink. But I couldn’t help myself to style my desk with another color, which is white.

As on all my previous post on style your desk, I keep reminding you to use 60-30-10 rule. And for this white color styling, I use 60% dominant color of grey (the wall), the 30% secondary color of white (table, wall shelve, all decorations, etc) and the 10% accent of black (the blackboard). Since the grey wall is not solid but combination of white and black washed, so basically 90% of dominant and secondary color became white and the accent color became black (mainly the blackboard).

I still did not change any main items like all other color styling, but the look now have changed because of the color proportion. I ode this to white as the most natural and easiest color to work with. And the best thing from white is that it looks sophisticated, pure up scale and shows that the owner must be a clean person! Salute to white!

So, I have shown you 8 different colors accent that even though only takes a view small items to make it stand out, the accent color really give each color-style a different personality, don’t you think? Now, it is your turn to style your desk according to your color mood.

Well, if you are going to style your desk with your color picked, which one is your favorite color or which one do you think is the best color style? Please share your thoughts on below comments.

Got to go… see you!

Live to be creative!

Sunday – Relaxing Girly Day

Finally it’s Sunday, a happy day to lose all your tension and take a break from everything. Pamper yourself and just be a girl. But even though you don’t work today, you might still want to check your emails or even do your hobby at your working desk. So, style your desk with daily color mood – pink. Because it’s time to be girly!

Just like on all my previous posts about styling your desk with daily color mood from black, blue, yellow, green, red, until purple; always stick to the 60-30-10 rule. The 60% dominant color is grey looking (the wall), the 30% secondary color is white (table, wall shelve, etc) and the 10% accent is pink (pinky decorations and stationery).

You can use other pinky stuff to decorate and style your desk. Like maybe, pink photo frame, pink jar, pink pom pom pen, pink cup, and so on. Even when you are a pink lover, please remember not to over-used pink, or your desk would look like a little girl’s desk. Because while you being girly today, you still need to look sophisticated.

Besides, accent always the minority, the majority becomes the dominant one, and that makes minority always the one which stand out.

Now, you may want to start your relaxing girly day by styling your desk with daily color mood – pink and have a lot of fun!

See you on the last color mood! Hmm… do you wanna know what color is that? Well, follow me and find out tomorrow!

Style Your Desk With Daily Color Mood – Purple

Decor your working space, mainly your desk is very essential to boost your working mood.Well, at least I do. Styling your desk everyday will give you different atmosphere each day. That will make you feel brand new and your desk even look brand new everyday. you don’t have to change everything in your desk, just couple of decorations or even your stationary to give a different touch to your desk. The smartest way is to change only the accent and leave the rest as it is. For that, I can give you the easiest accent for decorating your desk, which is… color! yes, just change your accent color to style your desk according to your daily mood.

I have post continuously on different color accent to style your desk according to daily mood. From posts : Style Your Desk With Black, Blue, Yellow, Green, Red; until today, Purple Saturday. Saturday night is time for dating, mingle, sociable… so, let’s do it gracefully like a purple color. someone you take home may want to see your desk, then show him your grace and soft but sporty side. I always consider purple as in-between color, between blue and pink (actually it’s red but see it as 2 genders, blue for masculinity and pink for feminine). That’s why I like purple!

As always, start with the 60-30-10 rule, 60% of primary color, 30% of secondary color and 10% for accent color. No need to buy new decorations, unless you really have to, just use whatever you have in the color you want. I’m sure you will have things in your favorite color. Use whatever you got and just be creative.

Now that you have style your desk in purple or any of your favorite color, it is time for you to face this excited long Saturday.

Have a graceful creative Saturday!

See you on Sunday

STYLE YOUR DESK WITH DAILY COLOR MOOD- GREEN

STYLE YOUR DESK WITH DAILY COLOR MOOD- GREEN

Green Thursday – Have an earthy day!

It is Thursday, many days you have faced through a week, it is time to be humble after all you have achieved from Monday to Wednesday. The best way to express your humble or down to earth mood is to be earthy. And one of the closest color to describe the earthy feeling is green. So, let’s style your desk with daily color mood – green.

According to 60-30-10 rule that I mentioned on my earlier post (yellow Wednesday); the 60% dominant color is grey looking (the wall), the 30% secondary color is white (table, wall shelve, etc) and the 10% accent is green (nice green decorations and stationery).

I keep explaining the 60-30-10 rule because it is very important to have a balanced color and pattern mixed. Unless you wanted a monochrome color only, but isn’t boring? Plain boring indeed. Of course we have to mixed color and pattern in order to achieve higher level of design. And the 60-30-10 rule will keep you in a right order, not too much but just right.

So, whatever color you choose, always be creative in choosing the right elements, especially the one that will accentuate the entire design. For example, among the green elements where green is the accent color; one very stand out green element is the green plant I have on my book shelve above the table. The way its green leaves dangling from the white shelve gracefully, really stole the show. And the earthy feelings suddenly surrounds you.

Well, enough for dramatization, just get yourself to style your desk with daily color mood – green; and experience the green Thursday of earthy feeling.

 

See you on Friday

Back to your creative root!
