Some time ago hubby and I went to a mall and notice this restaurant which has industrial-style written all over its interior design - and just like that, we're smitten by it.
Are we considering to apply this style to our home? Well, it sure fits well with the raw finishing I'm after, not to mention my husband will have excuse to 'display' his car tools, off road & camping gear etc. Yeah right, the next thing we know we'll have an auto service/ warehouse for a home :p
That's why I don't want to get carried away. I put some Industrial accents here and there, yet the overall look will be eclectic. A beautiful mess, at the very least :)

Kitchen, Re-Organized
We did some kitchen organizing and makeover few months ago, but I haven't got time to post it here until now.
First, a quick BEFORE look of our kitchen.
The 'kitchen island' is actually a desk. And as you can see, there's clutter accumulating on it *sigh*.
Next, here's a glimpse of inside the kitchen cabinet.
You can see the waste of space here. This section is actually not the worst part, but I wont show it to you because it's just too embarassing :p
Without further ado, here's the AFTER look of the once space-waste cabinet.
Simply just by adding a shelf insert! How easy is that :)
I use IKEA Variera shelf insert, which not only function well but also look nice as well.
What I mean by looking nice, beside having a sleek design the shelf insert also have a pretty perforated surface.
That's why I came up with the idea of using it as a table/ desk screen, as seen in the next picture. The screen does wonder in hiding all the clutter :D
If you notice, we also closed the lower part of the desk with gypsum painted in white. This was my husband's idea.. he cut, painted and fixed the board on the desk himself.
The overall look? Tadaa!
Not bad, eh? ;)

Beautiful Mess
When I first saw this, I thought this must be the coziest living room ever! Warm colored hardwood floor covered with fluffy faux fur rugs, comfortable chairs, stools and ottoman, perfect for leisure. Yet the window nook next to them has this fresh and uplifting feel, with the tall windows and plants, making it suitable to put a working desk there.
And then this dining room. Oh how lively and lovely! Again, I have a dining table similar like this in much smaller size, where the similarity lies in the many stuff scattered on the table top.. yup, messy me. I also share the joy of eating my meal while watching TV. But then again, this room is heaven compare to mine. I think the blackboard with menu written in colorful chalk has a big part in tying the look together.
Last but not least, the backyard. Oh my, I could imagine how beautiful it looks at night with the string lights all lits up. Cozy, natural, pretty and low maintenance.. just the way I like it.

Still in the same house, there's this room. With piano and floor-to-ceiling book rack, this room fits for a hobby room. Note how the books look kind of messy in the rack but somehow it doesn't ruin the appearance of the whole room. I have a similar hobby room in a much smaller scale, where it also involves a tall white rack with messy books and an electric keyboard instead of a grand piano, yet mine is somewhat mismatch, still far from the eclectic look I'm after.

House Tour: My Dream Cottage
I was browsing Apartment Therapy as usual when stumbled on this.
Oh how I would love to live there...
This is exactly what I want my dining room to be, outdoor, with string lighting and greenery around.
Indoor swing! Minus the fireplace (it's already summery hot here all year long) and the dogs (I'm more of a cat person) :D
Open hanging display of pots and pans. A very simple storing idea. Yet still doubtful about the dust and visual noise that will occurred.
Outdoor theater! Oh my..
You can see the full post and pictures here.. go ahead and drool with me.
