I've been away

What I am loving ... the quiet life I've been living recently. 

I've hardly been travelling.
I have not been blogging.

It's great to be grounded.

I am so excited about various little projects of mine.

I will talk about those in the future.

In the meantime, here's a small "reveal".

After my place was featured here,

I got a message from the friendly people of IKEA's new digital magazine.

Yes, you will be seeing me there soon!!!

If, like me, you have discovered the wonders of IKEA 

and wish for your place to be featured,

then click away at my very first badge!

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.
