Here's a small project I had worked on a while ago. A little makeover to a boring terrace. Small additions always make a big difference.

Continued from yesterday....

11. Hand Painted Jars

where/what/when: I would use them to store jewelery or just adorn by book shelf

12. Toy Car- Antique/Junk

where/what/when: its just really cool, beacuse of how old it is. I'm sure we can find use for it. Just on top of my head- use it in the garden or balcony around planters and put a flowerpot in it as well

13. Mason Jars.

where/what/when: you do get them in stores, however- the prices here are a steal. Pintrest has a whole bunch of ideas that you can test

14. Distressed Door

where/what/when: old doors converted into shelves. Absolutely love the textures on some of them.

15. Rustic Bench

where/what/when: for your balcony, garden, living- where ever you want to sit

16. Signage Inspiartions

where/what/when: have a store, garage sale, pop up restaurant- use this idea for your signage

17. Rustic Table and Buckets

where/what/when: again, great as an outdoor bar counter and use the buckets for cold beer or trash or simply convert them into planters

18. Copper Fire Extinguisher

where/what/when: umbrella stand/planter

19.Painted Mirror

where/what/when: for the wall in your bar; if you need to quickly throw on that red lipstick- you could use this mirror too

20. Frames

where/what/when:  again, one of my favorite accessory. Make a set and put them up by them selves or put pictures or art or I'd say pluck some favorite pages of your favorite novel and frame away!

coming up tomorrow.....

more flea finds!

I was away for a week to a far far land from home. Well, not thaaat far - I went to Amsterdam for the first time and I have to say, WHAT a great city. No! I am not talking about the infamous Red Light area or the famous coffee shops. I am infact amazed with the art, architecture, food, antique markets, culture...more art,design,flea markets.....and I can go on. There are a couple of things I want to share with all of you, however this is what is on top of my mind as fight through jet lag. The streets look gorgeous, not because there is some magical potion- just some easy, simple planters. I wanted to share these with you guys, because I think you and me can totally use these ideas for a better outdoor space. Planter Therapy it is!

I absolutely love these two, don't be surprised if I add these milk can planters to my garden

 

This is an interesting one, the ducts have been converted into planters and I don't know if the picture does justice, but it does look pretty good in person

 

that's all!
don't forget to leave your comments for moi

While we are in the mood for colour; might as well get this post out of the way. These pictures are from my trip last month. Club Street, Singapore is one of the most good looking streets despite the colouroma that is on. Simple details, lots of colour, old juxtaposed with new. Loving colour therapy!
