Considering Billy

With our small space, maybe it is time to consider the Billy shelves offered by Ikea. Hopefully I could recreate the following two looks in near future. One thing I have to consider is I need more covered storage at the bottom.

Decorating - vases

I plan to get a tall vase for the living room, just haven't found one that I like that is not too expensive! This glass vase as seen above have been appearing around stores here ..though the style suits our living room, it just too fragile for our household (I am very clumsy). But in this setting I might change my mind and just get one :)

source : Ontarioo Beach House appeared on Apartment Therapy

Our home (a flat) is located far from the beach. It is those flats which were built during the 60-70s era. So, just boxes of rooms without any achitectural interests. However, I've always been attracted to beach houses .. what to do?

After reading Chris' story (owner of above house) , I am truly inspired!. Perhaps I'll start by adding beadboards and slowly purchase beach house inspired furniture pieces - an expensive range in this part of the world! BUT I think it is possible to achieve this look :)

Inspirations - hallway

Oh, I would like to indulge and recreate such a seating at the hall way; because we do have a tini shelfing system as big as this room for our detergents, cleaning tools , shoes etc
But practically it make more sense to convert our mini storage to function as the following photo shows, so that our winter jackets are more orderly and not hung behing our front door.

Side notes
Dimension of closet : 60D x 60W x 157H cm , Door 52.5W x 144H cm

What's stored there currently? Shoes, tools, umbrellas, detergents

Where should the current storage be moved to ?
-- remove shoes from closet once I found a suitable shoe-cabinet
-- remove detergents , place in sealed box and relocate to upper storage..not the best solution but temporarily it should be fine

Alcove to work space

May be create this workspace and place the shoe storage below ...

Side notes
Dimensions of alcove : 113W x 56D x 153H cm
What's stored there currently : work books, microwave (due to no space in kitchen), paid bills
Where will these be stored? ??????????

Alcove - Shoe storage

May be considered for the alcove of the living room...

I am liking...

Though we could dine in our kitchen, it wasn't the most spacious dining space. May be I should consider setting up something similar below in our living room...

Asian inspired kitchen can be considered...

and I posted this way back in Nov '08 from a local second-hand store but still available at Ft7000 (USD38 !) . Too bad the store is out of our way and we haven't transport to bring it back *sigh*

On lighting

If I can source those crystals at cheaper prices, I'll definitely DIY one!

A gift from SIL. At the moment, I like it on the floor.

Work table

I would like to add some kind of work table in the living room inspired by this image from car moebel


The nearest that I can find is from Jysk (Athena).. I'll have to play with the layout of our living room to see how all fit .

Dimension : 102 * 102 * 53

Nepbolt General store finds

I think Népbolt General Store may be the answer for me to match some of the vintage pieces found in my inspiration folder...here's a collage of the items on my wish list plus some photos from folder
