Happy Birthday Farra

Time flies.. 

Ga terasa Farra sudah 2 tahun. Semakin berat untuk digendong-gendong, semakin ceriwis, semakin tau maunya apa. 

Seperti halnya anak-anak diumur 2 tahun, Farra pun aktif dengan gencatan pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang apaaa aja. Udah mulai minta apa yang dia mau, dan bisa menolak sesuatu + alasannya kenapa ga suka.. 

Setelah tahun lalu batal karena Farra sakit mata, tahun ini saya dan papa memutuskan untuk merayakan ulang tahun Farra bersama beberapa tetangga, teman dan saudara. Acaranya dirumah saja biar lebih santai (plus hemat ;p ). 

Dekorasi dan pernak-pernik buat sendiri, kecuali Happy Birthday (plus topi kertas) yang dibeli sejak tahun lalu ;p Menu makanannya juga pilih yang praktis: nasi bogana&madura, bakso kuah, somay ayam, sate buah, strawberry mousse. Plus cupcakes, snacks, candy and jelly for the kids.

Happy Birthday Farra

Let's celebrate!

Sayang ga sempet foto dressing tablenya.. belum selesai didekor sudah banyak temen-temen Farra yang dateng. Saya sendiri juga ga banyak foto-foto, hiiikksss

Yang terpenting Farra senang, Papa senang.. dan semua bisa berkumpul :)


NB: thanks to Fanny for Farra's dress, and to all the family&guest thx for coming. xoxo ;-*

Wishlist: All about Chevron

Wishlist is about sharing my preferences, my ideas, my desire about anything i like. And today i choose cushion. i want to share about my wishlist cushion. Yes, Cushion oh Cushion.. I wish all these cushion are mine :)

Letter. Never fail to catch you eyes (to read). Single letter or words or name. 'k' cushion made from buttons from vi.sualize.us and letter name cushion made by printing direct to garment can be used to remark your fave seat at home. Now we can easily found printing shop that able to print direct to garment in Jakarta or Bandung (cost about 25k IDR/A4 size media). Let's create our own.. :)

Tie Dye. This kind of process that creates natural bright pattern is so happening today! Many wardrobe using tie-dye fabrics for fashion items, cloth, hijab scarf, etc. Why don't we use for cushion? Just like i found at houzz.com. Pretty...

Ikat Cushion. I'm really sure that Tenun Ikat is coming from my country Indonesia. But in fact, i found a lot of online shop or etsy that sells Ikat Cushion mostly are coming from abroad with pricing more than 1 million Rupiahs/pcs. Woowww.. i feel like been knocked, why i can't make it and sell it?

Similar with Ikan Tenun, Kain Batik as our heritage also nice for cushion. And heeyyy... this is my first sewing project: batik cushion!

So, which one you like? :)

We've Moved

Alhamdulillah, we have moved now into our new house :)

Rumah yang dibangun melalui serangkain diskusi, brainstorming, kerja keras, hunting kesana-kemari penuh semangat sampai debat-debat ga jelas yang katanya pasti ada di tiap proses pembangunan rumah. Is it? Yes it is.. :)

Konsep bangunannya simple aja: hangat, less-maintenance & banyak cahaya matahari.

Hangat dalam artian tiap anggota keluarga gampang berkumpul dan berinteraksi satu-sama lain.

Less maintenance karena kita sadar waktunya ga banyak dirumah untuk bersih-bersih. Jadi gimana caranya supaya kalau sewaktu-waktu ga ada yang bantuin, rumah bisa tetep rapih dan bersih tanpa banyak effort.

Banyak cahaya matahari tidak lain tidak bukan supaya hemat listrik :)

Kalau konsep warnanya dominasi putih & natural untuk interior dan exterior.

Omong-omong tentang exterior meskipun si owner ini title-nya sarjana Landscape, ga banyak yang dikerjakan untuk exterior selain pilih-pilih tanaman yang gampang dipelihara dan ga ribet. Again.. i want a less-maintenance yard for my house (hahaa ketauan aslinya pemalas! ;p)

Anyway.. i put bright green for mine and orange for Farra's bathroom. Love the brightness spirit every take a bath in the morning. And my fave place so far is the white kitchen. We can do a lot of things here, cook (of course), eat, read a book, sewing and blogging.

ceiling and windows for more sunlight

try this! bright color for your bathroom.. 

few plants and should be easy to maintain

our white & lovely kitchen

Sebenernya banyak yang belum terwujud di rumah ini khususnya di perabot dan interior. Masih menunggu meja ruang tamu idaman yang sedang dibuat, masih nunggu bugdet turun buat bikin rak buku, masih pikir-pikir jadi pake wall paper apa ngga, hehee pelan-pelan deh yaa.. Kita ngumpulin duit dulu sodara-sodaraaaa.... :)

#Project11

What is 'Project11' ?
That's my personal project > build a house. Not only a house actually - but i'm trying hard to build a home for my little family.

Why 'Project11' ?
Coz it's located in Kelapa Muda11 Jagakarsa.
Build in year of 2011 and hopefully it will finished on November '11.

++++++++++++++

It started in May 2011, designed by Meilani Martini my lovely sister, an architect graduated from Architecture ITB. Cooperate with Aqilla Contractors (Mas Danny) who is very cooperative and (i think) their price is reasonable enough (^_^).

Until today, it already finished about 40%.

I can say that this year is not that easy, since we are allocating almost all of our time and power for working to earn money to make it real!
Yeaahh right... we also limit our holiday!!

Can wait until it done and we move there....

it's April already

Can't believe it's April already. There gonna be new challenges, new things, new rules and of course new experiences with my little rock princess. 

Well.. there is new regulation in my office starting on April, they called it 'flexi time'. Each employee should choose their work hour, starting from 7.30 until 9.30 valid for 3 months. I choose from 9am to 6pm. Hope will never be late to the office (read: no salary deduction) *biggrin*

Another important things in April is about my biggest project of the year. Yappp.. it has to be run this month. My Dream House. I hope i can tell you more in the next story about how this project runs :)

Anyway... congratulation my dear hubby, finally you got the iPhone4 this month! Hehhee.. after a long journey, looking for it until Singapore, now you got it with very-very affordable price.. I am happy for u, hahaa especially when you take a picture of me. This gadget has better camera than my 3Gs. Shoot more please!

Wishlist Dream House

Heyyhhhoooo....!

Okey, these are my wish list (part 1) for my future dream house.

Baru wishlist saya saja ya, karena pas posting ini belum sempat diskusi dengan suami yang baru pulang di Bandung. Tapi basically wish list kita banyak yang sama kok.. mudah-mudahan :)

Dear my future architect, please note my wish list below! *wink*

Punya rumah dengan pintu-pintu kaca + jendela-jendela besar yang bisa dibuka lebar sepertinya menarik.. udara dan cahaya bebas masuk ke dalam rumah. Biar hemat AC hemat lampu...

pintu-pintu kaca

Maunya suami sebenernya punya rumah yang dikelilingin kolam ikan. Haaa.. siapa yang mau ngerawat -_- ?? Kalau kolamnya sebesar ini aja sih saya mauuuu...

kolam ikan koi

Dapur yang besar pasti menyenangkan. Kalau pun pas-pasan juga ngga apa-apa deh, asalkan bisa dekat dengan meja makan. Jadi habis masak, bisa langsung tersaji dan nyum nyum nyuummmm markitkan....

dapur bersih dekat dengan meja makan 

Leyeh-leyeh di teras samping (keliatan ga itu gambar terasnya?), menghirup udara segar, sambil ngopi-ngopi, sukur-sukur bisa punya kolam renang.. enyaakkk.. *dreaming dreaming

teras samping nan nyaman, sukur2 ada pool nya ;)

Ok nih kalau punya lemari besar, semua bisa masuk dan tertata rapih disini. Ada yang kurang sih dr gambar ini, kaca besarnya belum ada. Hehehee

walking closet

Sekarang juga sudah pakai wall sticker utk menutupi kekurangan tembok+bikin mood kamar jadi beda. Kalau bisa nemu wall sticker yang lucu-lucu untuk kamar anak, pasti seru ya...!

wall sticker 

Ini cita-cita banget, punya piano kayu dirumah. Inget masa muda ^_^. Mudah-mudahan Farra juga mau belajar musik (baca: piano). 

piano kayu hitam

Sofa merah = stunning!
insya allah yang ini (harus) bisa beli... 

sofa merah dan aneka bantal


Sekian, terima kasih. Tunggu wish list saya selanjutnya.. hahhaa..
Start the day with dreaming, coz life ends when you stop dreaming.
