My food spread




What I am loving ... what a little imagination can do
to spice up a party.
Would you like to be invited?

Preparing for an all-white-party


What I am loving ... the things I can buy at Ikea.
I am hosting a baby shower for a very dear couple.
And, I have been obsessing about an elegant yet inviting food spread.
These are the materials I scored after spending two hours
in Ikea Causeway Bay.
Frankly, the crowd there was overwhelming.
Watch out for my next post for THE LOOK!

An instagram moment with Warren Platner





What I am loving ... my new coffee table by Warren Platner.
Warren Platner (1919-2006),  an American,
studied architecture in Cornell,
worked with Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei,
and rose into prominence in the 1960s.
In 1966, Knoll started producing an entire line of Mr Platner's 
steel wire and glass furniture.
It continues to do so to this day.
I love the way the steel gently curves ...
so much softness in an element which can be so hard and unyielding.
This is one piece that I know I will enjoy for the rest of my life.
It's timeless. 




This is my first instagram photograph
and,  clearly, I need lots of practice.
My apologies.

I've been blogged!!!


What I am loving ... desire to inspire!
I have been an avid reader of Jo and Kim's blog for a long time now.
It's a treasure trove of design ideas.
Aside from the work of noted design experts, 
they also regularly feature contributions from their readers.
Their pets on furniture posts are so heartwarming.
I wrote them two weeks ago with pictures of my Hong Kong flat
and I am so thrilled that they made this post on 30 May.
Many thanks, Jo and Kim!
