Just Homely

So I have moved into my current place for more than a year, but I'm only starting to put little decorative pieces to spruce up the place - mostly DIYs - no expensive ornaments that I would have to give a limb or two to guard from my wandering toddlers. My theme is woody and homely, so if you have a good suggestion or two, drop me a message! I'm constantly on the lookout ☺

My colleague brought this windmill back from Taiwan. It seemed fairly easy to assemble but took me an hour poking through those tiny perforated holes and fixing in the slots to get the fixture up.

This is my messy spot on the refrigerator. I'd like a home to look lived in (but I don't mean messy). Not the spick and span, showroom kind of neat. Just homely, especially when the kids are still small. I'd probably dream of a lifestyle themed home when I can afford another place, and when the kids are bigger.

 

Owl Hoot Hoot

Say hi to Ow the latest addition to the family - a portable night light that I bought for the kids. They are not so in love with it as I imagined they would be, hence I have claimed ownership over it.
As a kid, I used to have an abject fear of the dark, so much so that I would wake up in the night and hold my breath and freeze literally, till my grandma tosses in her sleep and I will quickly change my sleeping position, till her next movement. I thought some evil creatures might be lurking in the pitch dark, ready to pounce on me should I let slip of the slightest movement. Having a fear of the dark was so not fun. If only I knew there was such a thing as night light!
Ow the Owl will now save my day, and be my mighty hero in the night ☻
