Dining Table makeover

I spent my last weekend doing make over on my dining table.  I was planning this since ages and had called my handyman to do it.  The plan was just a scrapbook from pictures I found here and there .  I never had a chance to think and plan carefully what kind of color to use, where should I buy it, how I am going to mix the color to fit to my imagination and so on...everything was just popping up, clueless in my head...

Until last weekend, my handyman was calling me to urge for the makeover as he did not have any spare time.  I was just rushing to the nearest store, picked up any available colors, leave everything to my handyman and went to spend my weekend elsewhere..

You know what happened next? Just checked the series of pictures...he was wrongly painting the table and the chairs all in yellow!  (hiks!)

I then urged the handyman to re-paint the chair in red...welllll, it went all wrong,again! The red was too bright, I wanted to be a little bit darker, maybe a bit maroon should be nicer...I felt like I am sitting in a kindergarten class (sigh!)

Anyway...I tried not to regret it, and will take a detail plan onwards.  I am planning to change the color in dark blue, someday...

The table was my mom-in law's actually and I was crossing my finger that she won't be jumping around when she looks at the color makeover...love u, mom! XOXO!



Lovely mess

This is nice, isn't it? messy but well organized? hmmm, no?  Bright Bazaar

Kimora

I don't know who is Kimora before, I really don't..whenever she's photographed by paparazzi and was between People Magazine or Harpers Bazaar, I just took a glimpse of her pics.  She's one of the model, I whispered.  But after watching her reality show on E! 'Kimora Life in the Fab Line" I started to know and get inspired. 

She is a fashion mogul with her fashion line 'Baby Phat'.  The style is not fit to my personal taste though..I have checked out her boutique in one of Abu Dhabi mall and her collections are full with glitters and bling-bling with mini skirt, tight shirt, and studded jackets.  I learned that her collections are for Hip Hop market, as one of her front row are the Hip Hop mogul couple - Jay Z and Beyonce. 

Yes, she is sexy, rich and a fashion billionaire but few things I learned that she is smart, perfectionist, hardworker, tough and a passionate with great love to her work..the show told you that you have to live with your dreams and go with it..I enjoyed watching the show and always try to think for the moral of the story..faboulocity is not only about glamour but also about dreams and hard work!




Alun-Alun Indonesia

One of my go-to for local products is Alun-Alun Indonesia, Grand Indonesia..they have lots of variety of indonesia products from clothes, bags, shoes, homeware, accessories, beauty products and even snacks...my first favorite corner is the wrapping section where they provide traditional boxes-besek with beautiful paint, rattan or wood picnic baskets, batik-pattern wrapping, or tikar clutch..the 2nd fave is the snack corner where you could find beautiful wrapped snacks which brings back your childhood memory...yummy!  My 3rd fave is fashion and accessories corner in front of the tiny bookstore where you could find limited design from Indonesia young designer that you could not find it elsewhere..

Some people thought the tag there is quite pricey but I think this is how to appreciate Indonesia products among plenty international brands at Grand Indonesia...we need to support it, don't we?

I actually bought this besek collections only IDR 40,000 each..Nice, isn't it? It's wrapped with batik with modern color touch!

Snack Bar

I wish I could have snack bar like this!  Eat Drink Chic

Kampoeng Tempo Doeloe

I always want to spend weekend without going to the mall..My boys are actually not quite interested to go but since their mom kind a lazy and not too creative, we sometime end up walking to the mall again and again...I promised myself to start WWM - Weekend Without Mall campaign...The hubby is also not a mall type and a picky eater..he loves traditional foods and he'll bit clueless to pick mall foods whenever we go...

Last holiday we went to Kampoeng Tempo Doeloe at La Piazza Kelapa Gading..it's the part of Jakarta Fashion and Food Festival..The hubby was quite enthusiastic spending time there with tempting food choices..tahu gejrot, rujak beubeug, kue leker, soto mie theresia, kelapa muda & otak2 petojo, soto udang akwang, es duren sakinah, bola ubi madu, pindang patin Sari Sanjaya and many more..it's open air with traditional theme surrounding, and we could exchange our money with old-fashioned designed money from 1, 5, 10 and 20..nice!

Unfortunately, we went there wrong timing, we reached at 1100 am where the open air place was really..really hot! My boys enjoyed without complaining but me started sweating like a monkey..aha!  I yawned the hubby to move to the mall for lunch, so as soon as he finished his soto mie, we ran to have lunch at the mall..cooler mall!  Well...my WWM turned out to be WWaWM - Weekend With and Without Mall! what a life.....

Cable Spool Table

Look what I found last weekend! I was so happy to get this when the hubby and I went for biking around the neighborhood..it only costs me IDR 50,000..




I was so inspired when I saw this DIY picture and I promised to myself I'd to have this...




I actually had tried and quite persistent to look for it from the first day I saw without any luck...I have not decided the look to-be, I might paint it in shocking red or leave it as is...but don't wait up to see the 'before and after' shortly..I am moody and a late starter, it could take me weeks to finish!  The most important, I owned this now!  Happy...happy...happy!
