And today, i can see white fluffy clouds outside the window waving at me. Sun rays play peek-a-boo, sometimes she tried to touch the tip of my finger when i hand out my palm. Cute thing.
The first half of the week was filled with good stuff. Momma Bear sent me a few really inspiring emails and her chirpy 'hello, how are you?' really made my day. I think she's one really cool future mom-in-law. *chuckled* We talked a lot about scrapbooking and its good to see her being passionate with her handmade cards. His dad is a pretty amazing soul himself. We had dinners and he'll talk about art and ballroom dancing. When he said 'i'll look around for the Beatles' (vintage) album for you' my heart just flutters. We went handcycling a few weeks ago and he let me tried archery too. Something i really miss doing.
I have been out and about the neighbourhood with MN to do our little house-hunting. We weighed the pros and cons 'is this area safe for us to live?' 'there's a school nearby where our kids can go' and things like that. We found a house we really like in the neighbourhood we love. The house is really airy with big rooms, huge spaces for storage, and i totally love the nostalgic feeling attached to it. There's a room- i think used to be occupied by the owner's little kid, which have a cute vintage lamp with cartoons from the 70s.
Still on a renovation, we cant deny that the house is an absolute stunner; so well loved and cared for. It is exactly like what we want: a house full of love. But the price cost us a major bomb. After much consultation with my family and a few of our friends, we decided to let the dream house go. Sadly.
Call me spoilt, but i'm so used to live in a big house with big rooms and big kitchen and big hall. Oh, and a big yard. Our old family house in Muar was designed by my late dad (including some furnitures) and relatives all over will come down from KL and JB to chill on our greeny yard. I remembered ours was the only house surrounded with palm trees. The place could fit at least ten cars easily (well, our current house can still fit in the same number but ten viva's lah :P ) as my parents hated the idea of people parking along the road.
MN and i shared the same taste: we love vintage. We love anything nostalgic and retro. We cared more for the feeling. What we had as a child- how we grew up, how our parents taught us, the kinda house we were brought up in; we want to imply it to our life, and insya Allah, our kids. Its so much fun to know our family are alike in a way. We were taught to appreciate the simplest of things, to love music and art and to always be grateful with whatever we have.
Oh, i'm so dreamy right now. I can already imagine how our house would be like. LOL. I love the simple English look with soft pastel colors but MN totally beat me up when it comes to decorating the house as i think he has better taste than mine. I can sense that we have to tolerate a lot after we get married. LOL. I'll have the wall in light blue and white-english-style wood cupboards and MN can keep his plasma TV and couch. LOL.
Cut out of Ikea's catalogue :P
Check out the doors' finishing and the thick oak cupboard!
Maybe we can settle for this look to keep MN happy :P
If we have a daughter, we're so gonna have this in her room!
Lovely!
Imagine there's a beach outside!
My dream TV cabinet at Ikea. Check out the price....phew!
I so love the blue shade of the wall. And the cute hanging lamp. Mmm.
