I loved play with colors, it is an important element that can effect your mood and feeling.If you want to redecorate your home, here's some color ideas for you

The Joy Of Ramadhan

The most joyous days in Islamic calender is Eid al Fitr, muslims all over the world share the happiness by visiting relatives and friends. They set their dining  and decorate their home...

Bringing or sending gifts is also part of the celebration.

Here's some items from Tan Living that could give ideas on decorating 

and hampers that you could give to your love ones

BALI: shop at Pengubengan, Kerobokan

The whole June I had been busy preparing our first shop in Bali. Located at Pengubengan, Kerobokan in a beautiful Joglo (tradition Javanese house). It still lack some touches which I hope would be finished by the end of July and we could launch it by August.

Cross your fingers for us :-)

Go Nautical

Living in the big city like Jakarta is very stressful. Traffic was the main problem....hours and hours sitting in the car looking forward to reach home.

For me this became a reason why the place we live should be cozy, relax and refreshing.

Decorating your home with the charm of the sea, using white - light blue color would be one of a great way to give a refreshing touch to your home.

GANESHA DREAMS

Two months ago I received an email from Ganesha Dreams, and online shop, specialize in selling beautiful stuff from Asia, located in Bega New South Wales, Australia. 

I was thrill to have the opportunity to work with them,I hope this will become a long business relationship. Good luck for both of us

Fabrics Hunt

Shopping for fabric is my favorite things to do. The thing is I have to make sure that I limit the budget and not bring extra money as I will empty my wallet immediately. 

Today with Annette we went shopping, grabbing every fabric we like, colors, texture, pattern...it drove us crazy.... After couple of hours, we went home with a big smile.......

TRIETTE STORE

One of the thing that I enjoyed to see in Bali is the shops. Each of them has their on personality.... It's like a competition of ideas, concepts, designs and creativity...SO INSPIRING.
 TRIETTE STORE at Jl.Batu belig no 88 is one of them. Not because it's fancy but because it's a cozy shop that offer gorgeous stuff such as children's apparel from Coco and Ginger, Em & Lu, jewellery from Triette Treasure , basketry from Tan Living and many more. It's definitely one of my favorite shop here.

COLORS FOR 2014

Approaching 2014, I started to look for trend colors 2014 for interior and my eyes sat on a designer mood/ concept board by Rosslyn Tebbut called COLLAGE.

 It's exactly the look I want to start the year..."elegant, glamorous and cheerful", showing the spirit and positiveness I have towards the year.
 Inspired by it, I made my own mood/concept board for our new collections that we'll be launched next month.

5 Scents to an unforgettable Christmas

I enjoyed so much doing these collections since my 2 daughters Alia, (11 years old) and Sara  (8 years old) were involved in the process. Together we chose the scents and I let them drew the packaging  of the two collections they loved.

Sara picked Blueberry and named it "Blueberry Candy". She drew her self-portrait for its packaging...

.It is a cute Christmas gift set of room difusser, scented candle with an Angel Christmas ornament "For Her" or those who are young at heart.

Alia chose Lemongrass and drew... a robot!! for her packaging, as this was meant "For Him" or those who are sportive and energetic. Coming in the same set as Sara's, she name her collection "Juicy Lemongrass"

The other three...Noel , Cool Mint, and Eclipse comes more serious and elegant.

Noel is a combination of Cedarwood, Clove, and Sandalwood...a typical smell you remember of Christmas.

Cool Mint gives a fresh aroma...coming from a combination of Lavender, Rosemary, and peppermint.

 While Eclipse gives a soft and elegant scent to the room....a mixture of Ylangylang, Rose, and Sandalwood

These exclusive collections only available at kadokadi, an online shop that offers Indonesian gift products.
