So I've been living independently (sort of!) since I was 23 and it's funny that I haven't really stayed in an apartment for more than 1 year. I've actually lived in 7 apartments in 3 countries, and if you add my parents' home in the Philippines you'll have an idea of how much I've moved around in the last 5 years. I expect myself to be an expert at this thing now. :D
Obviously I'm no stranger to homeware and furniture stores - Ikea, Target, Walmart, Harvey Norman, Big W, Japan Home (hehe), etc., and I've probably spent a lot more money and hours in these stores than I would've liked. Or not. Actually, I love this kind of stores. I could spend an afternoon being lost in Ikea, wishing I have enough cash to buy all the things I want to prettify my own place! I should say though that I've never really thought much about interior design concepts until now, because this is the first time we are moving to an unfurnished apartment. So this is really an exciting time for us because this time we're buying all the major furniture and appliances. That of course means we're spending serious bucks (cha-ching!) on top of our wedding expenses, but it doesn't mean shopping can't be fun! ;)
Anyway, some snapshots as of late. :)
Chaise lounge we bought this afternoon just before the sale ends! Got this for about $100 less than the original price.
Shabby chic. No?
Flew to the mine site for a meeting. This was taken on our flight back to Brisbane. Clouds fascinate me.
My shoes are here!!! I didn't think I'd ever feel this way about shoes but... I LOVE THEM! Will start practising walking in these heels soon. :)
Lotto tickets (I blurred my name!) - I won $40! 3 winning numbers short of winning the 70 million jackpot. Btw, on the left is my colleague's ticket, he didn't win. :p
At Ikea last night, canvassing for bed, mattress and dining set.
I love love love strings of lights!
Hope you'll wish us luck, strength and endurance in the coming days of packing, moving, cleaning and shopping! ;)
