Love LOOOVE Apartment Therapy :)

Since we got into this whole moving houses thing, i've been (almost) obsessed with looking at websites on home interiors. This website just happens to be my FAVORITE of all of them. I practically visit it everyday since I found it. :)

Anyhoo, just gathered enough guts to finally send in a photo of our recent pet project and was pleasantly surprised yesterday to see that they actually posted it on their site! :D Woohoo!

Presenting... the latest Catilo residence :)

They say 3rd time's a charm.

After our 3rd move this year (from Cambridge to Lola's House and now to Treelane), we can finally say we have a home. And we love it!


So this is how we found it a month and a half ago



and this is how it looks like after almost a month of fixing it -
(ehem, drumroll please...)

Martha moment #01: a place for placemats

While eating has been more enjoyable during my second trimester, I've also developed a new pet peeve: placemats that smell bad. It just ruins the whole experience. It's a good thing the ones we have are the washable soft/rubbery plastic ones so we can easily clean them along with the dishes after a meal. However, when piled together, they tend to stick and develop a certain smell even if they've been washed and dried.

This came to me after our first morning in the new Catilo house:


Yep, I rolled them into cones and stuck them to one of those steel thingies I found on the kitchen counter. Placed in a tall drinking glass, they even look like plastic calla lilies heehee. Now they don't smell and stick together anymore, and they look so much prettier! :P
