Home Improvements

Had a field trip at Ikea last weekend, bought some furniture and etc. for the house. Home improvements! The bulk of the items will be delivered next Saturday, but here is some stuff that I’ve brought home and put together.



A series of postcards to fit in my Ikea frames that were bought about a year ago! I’m a dreadful, dreadful procrastinator :P..… The postcards are paintings of New York City. They’re not great but the best I could find during the trip. So they'll have to do, till I find something better. Standing lamp was from Ikea too but not new.



Also new is the longish rectangular pillow – am very satisfied with it, finally a good support for my back when I’m lounging and watching TV. Bliss~

And.... Finally assembled my flowers bought from Robinsons during our very first Lunar New Year together in year 2006! It’s a miracle the flowers weren’t crumbling or covered in dust :P



Tonight I splurged on an Ariston oven :P Am feeling mixed emotions over the buy, I really do love the oven but I’m afraid I’ve over-estimated myself and my commitment to using it. I hope I do get a lot of use out of it. Together with the oven I bought a sturdy wooden kitchen table that will go next to the refrigerator. It comes with two matching stools. This was a steal at just under $200. :)

All the furniture and oven will be delivered this coming Saturday. I’m really excited about it! It’ll be a challenging day, arranging and fitting everything in but it should be fun :D
