The pink room at my house has been serving as somewhat of a junk room for the last two years.  Old paperworks, boxes, things that have no place and a couple of racks of clothing lived in there, and it's a sad sight to see and I never wanted to hang out or go in there anymore.
For the new year I cleaned the place out and finally found a perfect spot for my bunny lamp next to a little settee.


Just noticed today that the tree in my backyard has turned color, it's been raining quite a bit lately.  I'm constantly in appreciation of how my little house has sheltered me from rain and shine and the general madness of the world for the past few years.  


Kelly agrees with me on this one...

Obviously, Fie Fie discovered my pretty chair, to sit on I mean, he realized that it was a convenient peeing pole long time ago...


I got this pretty holiday village house before Christmas and never realized that it lit up!  What a pleasant surprise.

I've been trying to declutter my house in time for the new year, but now it seems like that won't finish in time.  It doesn't matter though, I'm in real good spirit to re-decorate and I've got high hopes for my little house!

I've had this settee for years and it's been sitting in the garage because I didn't like the fabric.  It wasn't a old tapestry fabric but some kind of cheap machine made stuff and in person the color was all wrong.  Today on a whim I decided to get some fabric samples to see if anything else would look good, and it was quite fun to try things out.

Obviously, the fabric has to be dog proof too.  As Fie Fie seems to be real smitten with my new fabric samples already.  He got into big trouble tonight, I cooked the last packet of beef and broccoli for the pups for dinner and then heard Fie Fie crying and Uggie was licking the last drop out of Fie Fie's bowl.  Evidently, Fie Fie had wondered off while he was suppose to be eating and Uggie ate his share of food.  Not wanting to have my precious pup go hungry for the night I scrambled some eggs and a bit more broccoli for Fie Fie to hold over, as I set the bowl down he got distracted again to check out where I was going, and Uggie almost got to eat the second batch of dinner I made for Fie Fie.  Such is the comedy played out every night at my house, I usually do a good job being the food police, but occasionally things slip through the cracks and I have a dog who's about to explode from over eating and another one starving.

My puppies are so silly, they are all rescues and they are pure sweetness!

It's been so cold and windy today at one point the electricity even blew out.  I'm keeping warm under a pile of dogs and layers of clothes and drinking lots of herbal tea but it's not enough, seems like the wind is going to blow my roof away at any minute, I've got leaky windows and on cold windy nights I always wish I had some nice and velvety curtains to get me some extra insulation!

I absolutely love Korean food, especially on cold nights.  For a mere $10 they serve hot tea, various small dishes and an entree plus brown rice.  I finally had a day off today and was feeling sick, but after I had a sip of warm tea I was instantly revived, and the food recharged me too.  Definitely the best kind of comfort food on a chilly winter night!

I haven't done a home decor idea board for a long while, but lately the furniture pieces from Anthropologie has really inspired me.

Watching the tea ceremony brings me a sense of calm, I somehow have a endless fascination with tea and its culture.  

New Year Preparation

I always like to do a bit of preparation at the end of each year to welcome the new year, although this year things were very challenging, I...
