Ideas for new home

We've just gotten the drawings from the architect and Simon's been talking to a couple of contractors to get their quotation. While waiting for the approvals from the relevant government agencies, we hope to identify a contractor that we like and negotiate on the fees. With any luck, we can get a bank loan by CNY and start building after CNY? haha...at the rate things are going...I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can start by the 2nd quarter of 2010.

Simon said he does't like a showhouse/showroom and asked how do we make our home cozy? I said with with colours, plants, knick knacks that we collect (or rather I collect) from our travels or from trawling the Internet, posters, framed photos, rugs, cushions, DIY projects...OK, I have many ideas.

I love to have this in Jillian's room or at my scrapbooking area....pom poms! Yes, pom poms hanging in clusters and in shades of colours. They add such a punch to the room, yes? Or maybe I will chose a few poms poms in the colours I like and make my own cluster/arrangement. Anyhows, do check out PomLove's shop at Etsy.
