Refreshing!

I think we are almost done with house revamps for this year. However, there is one spot which architecturally speaking is categorized as "soffit" and is omitted by both me and my contractor. Fortunately, we realized soon enough that we have to paint it "Proenza Schouler Sage Green" by next week.  
Yes, more green paint, please! 


I was going to find a shadow box to frame Ilon'a 2D painting the other day and I also found myself/my house some new home decor. to refresh the look. I love to make a refreshing changes on frames for my collected paintings and family pictures in my house. They are cheap and the easiest way to give my house a face-lift without costing me an arm and a leg.

I found a new mirror frame for this corner.

This fun eco product is $19.99 from T. J. Mexx.

I think the eco recycled newspaper mirror frame goes well with the etching strawberry silver frame.

Love the intricate silver threading bundled over the recycled paper. 


Thinking of revamps for your house?
Do it ASAP and be bold.

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me.  My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation.... Twilight poster - "eclipse"...haha..  My Gray Swan make-up! I use black eyeliner for the outline of the feather.  Bobbie Brown newest eyeshadow : Black velvet and dab w/ The Body Shop silver-gray eyeshadow for more definition.  I could do better next time for more details on feather!!

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top:  Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3. Shoes:  09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...
