Weekend Makeover

Not on myself....but more of the living room in our house.
Well, the living room in our rented house is rather large as compared to my house in PJ. Naturally, the furniture that we shipped over could hardly fill up the empty spaces. For the longest of time (okay..about a year lah), I've refrained from buying furniture as it would mean that I have to get rid of them when we leave this country for a different posting. As I mentioned previously, boys had a birthday party on Saturday, 6 Oct at T's house (T's brother's birthday). And every time we (either H or I) go to their house, we would have this decorating streak in us as their house is very FULLY-furnished with cupboards, shelves, ornaments, carpets etc etc. So, on Saturday...we actually left the boys there at the party and both of us went shopping for furniture. And on Sunday, it was for carpets... Move mouse over to see Caption



The ornaments on top of the shelves, I simply put them there so that it's not so bare. But have to change them to something else. It looks kinda pathetic at the moment.
The Turkish Carpet is machine-made so is considerably much cheaper than the other two Kashmir hand-woven carpet that we are keeping. The last piece of Kashmir Carpet, we are returning it back to the shop. Brought it home to sort of "test"it against our decor. It does look good..... All the three Kashmir-made ones are of silk/cotton mix. So the colour changes when you look at it at different angles. Nevertheless, returning one of them as we need to take it sloooooow.
