Wishlist - Au Naturel

The following are some things that are on my wishlist right now. Actually it's a pretty long list, but I thought I'd share just a glimpse to save you from boredom.

The items here are random, but you might notice that they are somewhat have a thing in common. Natural. Raw. Rustic.

I was torn between having a glossy light colored floor or a dark rustic one. Since my house is quite small and I'd like to make it look more spacious by maximizing light colored surface, I compromised by having the dark floor only in small areas. As for the bronze metallic tile like in the above picture, I was lucky to find similar tile at the nearest Mitra 10 store.. Yay! Those tiles will be covering the master bedroom floor, for the intimate rustic-glam look I'm after.

I'm not in the pink of health these last few weeks, so it's only normal if I took more time (trying) to rest and relax. I hope this detoxifying natural clay mask will help me in doing so. Instant spa, just a click away ;)

My Pinterest is full of furniture references that are made of natural reclaimed materials and has raw-industrial feel to it, but they are all made abroad, far from Indonesia where I reside. So I was overjoyed to find the above coffee table is available in Bali! But then I'm thinking about the shipping fee and have a 2nd thought.. hopefully I could find something similar here in Jakarta.

I'm picturing this rustic sliding door as the master bathroom door. Hopefully the contractor could find all the right materials and make it come true.

There you go, my wishlist :) 
So what's yours?

Industrial-style Restaurant

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 :)

Home Reno - Week 12

We found out that we have to change almost all of the old utility piping. That means extra time and money, and we certainly couldn't keep the existing ground floor's tile.



Although at first I wanted bare concrete floor (which now seems like a good excuse to make one), but we finally decided to use new floor tiling. We chose granite tile in broken white color to match the tiles on upper floor. 

We also planned to cover the carport flooring with reclaimed broken tiles from the ground floor. 

Enough about the flooring, because actually the work now is still around finishing the wall. We decided to strip down all the existing wall to its bone and start the finishing from scratch.



The good thing is that I will get the raw finished wall that I wanted :D Although most of the walls will be painted in white, but there'll be some accent raw finished walls. Yes I'm talking about exposed concrete and brick.. yet not as rustic as the above picture ;)
