home decor

It's been over a year since I moved into my own place and I'm still in the middle of getting it to look the way I want. So far, I'm happy with how my living room looks, especially after I bought this awesome black and white graphic rug from IKEA! I wanted the black and white striped one, but the colour combo was more of a black and cream, which I didn't like. Then, my mum spotted this one and it was love at first sight.  As they say, mums always know best :)

I spent a Saturday moving my desk around. It use to face the wall, but I wanted to take advantage of the natural light coming from the window, so I moved it to face the other wall. The downside is that I have no room to put the printer beside the desk. I might have to do some inventive maneuvering but I like where the desk is now. We'll see how long this will last :P

Now, I need to find a picture to put up against this blank wall... Any suggestions?

owl shopping

A new home decor shop has opened up on South Granville, West Elm, and since I had to pick up my chrome hoot owl from Urban Barn, I decided to drop by the store along the way. 

Donated some change to some cute firefighters and got this sticker. 
Chinese terracotta warriors are located all over the city and painted in different colours and patterns. I really like the royal blue colour on this figurine. 
Pottery barn kids has the Wild Thing decor! If I was a kid, I would be ALL. OVER. THIS. SHIT. 
Restoration Hardware has the most beautiful chandeliers. Now, if only I had a sugar daddy/inheritance/won the lottery, I would totally buy it. 
I think I found a new favourite store to shop for home decor stuff! They have the cutest owl ceramics and really great affordable stuff. I see myself coming back very often, especially during their sales.

I picked up 2 white ceramic mugs at West Elm. They're SO CU-UTE!
