face lift

hubby and i are in the midst of giving our house a face lift. we want to give the house a bit of life, so to speak. so we're trying out with some colors with the living hall and the dining area and also to our bedroom! i can't wait to see the outcome. hope it will turn out ala-ala casa impian....when we moved into this house, it was still brand new, and the paints are all the same for every wall - plain beige. so now after living in it for over a year, we are ready to give it a new look. choosing the right color was quite difficult, as we were afraid what we see in the book would turn out gawdy on the walls. so that took a bit of time, but it's looking pretty good i would say. we haven't chosen a color for the bedroom feature wall yet though..i'm thinking olive..it would go quite well with the brown laminated floor...i think..it's quite fun doing just by ourselves (deciding on the theme color and all lah, not the painting).

On another note, yours truly is down with the flu, and nazim is having yet another episode of his asthma/cough attacks which is quite tiring. anyhow, people say it will go away by itself when he grows up. we'll just have to wait i guess.

Hi Fara!

Lama tak baca your blog... so looks like your hands are very full now.. no worries, looking at the kids growing right in front of our eyes is the greatest gift all all.

Oooo.. nak buat "face lift" for the house ke? Once completed, hope you can take a few shots and show us here at your blog. Boleh kongsi idea later, if I'm doing mine one day!

yes, it'll go off as he grows.

no worries. but at age of 10, if he still has it and it starts to disturb his routine, i guess u know what should u do ")

hey.. olive!!!???? that's like so my color. I have Olive and dessert green in my living room. I think it'd be a nice combination if you have a brown laminated floor, but, olive can be really dark, so watch out when your floor is dark as well. it will make your room look really small. whenever you're in KL, come and visit me lor kak oi.

hey living proof, mind telling me what should i do if it still doesn't go off when he's 10??? is it surgery??

Zaki, we have the same taste i see :) hubby and i opted for another color, more like a khaki kinda color for our bedroom. i think it's called in the buff (nippon)

Ara!! So long never see u & nazim. Aisha is bigger too. Like me, Nazim's asthma will hilang as he gets older. Swimming is a very good form of exercise to cure it. Seriously. Anyway take care. Miss u loads!
