Cute Stickers For Decor Idea

Wall papers or wall stickers are the latest trend for house decoration. Thanks to Miss J... we like the stickers you bought for us.

Recently I just bought a 3-drawers cabinet from IKEA. No choice, we have run out of storage with the coming 2nd child. The cabinet is in plain white. Well, the stickers reached us on right time. I paste some parts of the stickers on one side of the cabinet. The bore-some white cabinet looks so different now.

My boy likes the aeroplane design.. but I want to keep it for the children room (in future). Now he's still sharing room with us).

Wall Decal For Children Room

The art of wall decal is getting more popular now. Last year, I also bought few designs of wall decal for decorating my house.

Here's one of the design pasted on the wall of my boy's playroom along with some of his art projects hung below the motif of a tree branch.

There are many brands in the market. Of course the prices are varied by the quality of material. So far, I am very satisfied with the current I purchased from Somethin' Urby. The decals are still firmly adhered to the wall and look new. Note: Check also Blank-Canvas-Design.

It's a good idea to decorate your baby room with some wall decals which just consume little time and money to do (compared with painting and wall paper).

"Circus" On Bed

I was happy with the new tailored made bedsheet and a pillow case from IKEA. This was the 2nd piece of children fabric I bought. The overall cost is less than RM 80 (fabric + workmanship + 10% discount for IKEA Friend card). *Note: In fact, the leftover fabric (as right picture) is still enough to make one pillow case + one bolster cover.

Compared with the 1st design (see picture -far left), the 2nd piece is much colour-rich and the design is sort of circus-like theme (the small flags and the circle dots). And I'm glad to choose white finish for the bed frame. Isn't that it makes any bright or cheeky designed bedsheets look more outstanding? Furthermore, our room looks quite children-oriented with this new bedsheet.

How did our boy feel about it? Haha.. he's so excited to hold his new pillow while I changed the bedsheet. Definitely he likes it very much. Just like his mum.

Furniture: My Boy's Very First Bed

My Boy's Very First Bed: IKEA's HENSVIK Single Bed frame

We got a used travel cot (foldable) which had catered many babies in our families (my hubby's) in the past 10 years. It's still in good shape. Our boy slept in it up to 8 months. Then he shares a bed with us. Co-sleeping is good to bonding with baby but the con is there will be a hard time to make him sleeping alone on his bed later. In order to train him sleep alone (still share the room), we bought a kid's sized single bed and attached it to our bed. In addition, I ordered to tailor-made the fitted bedsheet which has colourful patterns (to attract him). Well, he still likes our bed better.

As we are sharing a room, he insists to sleep on our bed . He rolls back to our sides when we put him on the little bed. So the only solution is we lift him onto his single bed once he falls asleep.

Furniture: A Mini Library

IKEA "HENSVIK" storage unit

The 1st piece furniture we bought for our new baby is a 4 Tiers rack in white from IKEA. It recalled me to a funny story.

I told my hubby that I need a space to put the baby/parenting's magazines and books (which increase monthly) in our bedroom. He didn't allow it at first as there's a "pantang larang" rule of not moving furniture and hammering things in the house during pregnancy. Finally my hubby gave in and let me buy it. One night we brought this rack home and he assembled it then moved it to our bedroom. What happened next? Our courteous neighbour gave him a lesson about the "pantang larang" once she saw him watering in the garden next day. She overheard the noisy hammering sound last night.Oh no, it's indeed my fault. Sorry hubby.

Nevertheless, I'm glad that we have bought this rack. Other than restaurants, I think the next frequently visited place is book stores. Buying book is like a therapy to ease my tension and fear during the whole 9 months. It's so nice to look and read the parenting books as well as the children books.

The 2nd book I purchased and read for my new baby is "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter but I selected the sound book version. Since then, I would buy any bunny-related books and even a flush bunny from IKEA. Don't you think the design of this rack look quite old English? Ya, partly I was inspired by Beatrix Potter's collections.

Now, this rack is nearly full in capacity (80% books and magazines) and I'm thinking how to convince my hubby to buy a small book rack for my boy's playroom. My current choice is IKEA's "MAMMUT" red shelf.
