Weekend Strolling in Ikea

I always wanted to get some ideas from Ikea for the new house. I love their ideas, but the quality is just not worth the price we pay.. I have had several furniture from Ikea, and I must say, they don't last long..

Since Nana wanted to get some toiletries too,we decided to take a quick look at Ikea after brunch.

Some things that caught my eye:

A wall mirror with frame - which would allow me to put my perfume/earrings/make up kits along the paneling



Stainless steel toilet cover - doesn't look cheap like the plastic ones



Toilet shelf that is mount to the wall - check out the bottom!
It looks like its floating on air! I could conveniently leave my flip flops under..
and did I mention, cleaning the floor would be a breeze without having to worry how it'll damage the wood!



A tiny sink just enough to wash you hand - for a guest washroom :)
Saves plenty of space!
Oooh, and I love the tiling in this picture!



Not so attractive, but it serves good purpose! A foldable/bending reading lamp
perfect for a bed room :)







Now the trick is to find somewhere that can make the furnitures I want!

It's like treasure hunting

Wedding planning isn't very fun if you don't know what exactly you want but all you know, is that you have a budget..

I did some planning on how it is to be like, and decided to splurge on the venue and food rather than the invitation cards.
I mean, who would actually keep these cards as a remembrance besides us, the bride and groom??
I know I always chucked cards away.
So there's no way I'm going to spend like five bucks on a card to be thrown away :)


I spoke to dad about it and he went. 'YEAH!!!we should do it in a hotel!!'

:):):):) Im sucha happy girl!!

We went to the hotel and checked the place out.. Looked like it was very golden brown, as the walls are made of wood, and the table and chair covers are in light gold..

I thought it'd be best to utilize all the free stuff we could get; so I have to go with a theme that goes well with these to colors..

I did some searching for ideas and these are what I came up with.. It's a lot of photos but I think I'd probably mixed them all together..



To be honest... I feel this color is Very common.. I just received a wedding invitation today in this same color!!!

Wedding preps!

I am assuming that there will be many more post on this :)

Truth is, I have only just begun checking out the venues..so much for having all those dream weddings and fantasizing about it :P

 I told Josh that I want the wedding to be in Ipoh - so that my grandaunt (whom I'm very close to) can attend the ceremony.
After all, we did the engagement dinner in KL right?

Dad approved it - and he helped us search for venues in Ipoh.. I'm quite surprised that even in Ipoh, all the halls were fully booked for the year end!
So, we  started considering restaurants and hotels.

Dad scouted for hotels and had his attention to  a new hotel that just started operation last December...
This hotel can't be anymore perfect!
It has pillar-less grand ballroom, and it is less than 5 minute drive from my grandaunt's place! 
and to our delight - the grand ballroom is available for booking! Albeit the price will be slightly steep, it sure will look very grand!

I will be heading back to Ipoh to view this and confirm this hotel!
and probably also hunt for wedding invitation cards.. 

Oh did I tell you, my theme is going to be green and purple!

As weird as it sounds, it looks slightly cozy buy elegant at the same time! 

excited to go head down to Ipoh this weekend ! 

Where the young and the old come out and play!

this is going to be an endless flow of photos!

 

More to come - the morning before! @11.11am
