Hi, guys, just let you know if you feel a little bit sad that the holiday season is over, I have a good news for you that Chinese New Year is coming. Yes, Chinese New Year is on 25th of this month and this year is Year of the Rat and you have to celebrate it in a big way because the year of the rat always indicates a big fortune coming to you. So be ready to receive it.
Well, Do above these adorable rats put a big smile on your face? They are created by Shaun Teo Creations in Kuala Lumpur. I am a big fan of Shaun Teo Creations on Instagram. They craft all kinds of cute cakes for different festivals and events. I have been always got inspired by their work. I believe they are now opening pre-orders for those lovely Chinese New Year’s cookies. Just check them out on Instagram.
So, today , since I am truly inspired by the red color they use for their product, I going to talk about Color of Red in home decor.
Red, corresponding with fire, symbolizes good fortune and joy. Red is found everywhere during Chinese New Year and other holiday celebrations and family gatherings.
Here are some inspirations.

Hello, December! Christmas decorations are in full force. No matter what’s you mood and how busy you are, it’s really up to you to make any holiday season festive, happy and special. There is only one Christmas a year. Why not make it beautiful? If you are not into big construction work, there are so many different ways to decorate your houses in this holiday season. Here is our project I would love to share with you :
There are 5 steps we did for this project:
Change the wall color from the old dull yellowish color to cheerful candy pink—it’s youthful, feminine and elegant. The traditional Regency walnut breakfast table, Louis-XVI chairs and trimmed upholstered sectional sofa add a touch of classic and make the space more grow-up.
Add a cream faux fur area rug to make the room cozy and inviting.
We go all natural from Christmas tree, green branches around beams to dried fruit wreath at the back of the chairs. It’s more fun, inspiring to play with natural materials. Here are some guidelines on how to take care of real Christmas trees.
Have some modern brass lighting fixtures to make the room dazzle–it can truly fresh up an old space immediately.
Make your table display festive and beautiful—it’s show time.
We all know that celebrities’ tastes are a little bit different and they like crazy things for their homes. This claim, however, isn’t true all the time. Some of them actually rather want to have a place where they are able to wind down and have a cup of tea. Crazy or not, here are some of our favorite styles leading by Obama’s.
the Obama family is moving to an 8,200-square-foot house they’ll be renting in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C. after they leave the White House.
Love the soothe gray background wall colors. The black lacquered cabinet is masculine and anchors the entry.
2. Michael Phelps purchased a stunning 6,010-square-foot home with five bedrooms, 6.5 baths and a pool with views of Camelback Mountain in Arizona..
Love the crisp and fresh feeling of his master bath. The creamy marble floor and wall tiles with neutral wall color, for sure, guantee a comfy place to relax.
3. Quite opposite to Marc Jacob’s free-spirited temperament, his Manhattan home is in fact composed and elegant.
Love this octagon brass modern mirror and creamy silk runner
4. Marc Jacob’s living room. “I just want to live with things I genuinely love. But I didn’t want the house to feel like a pristine gallery or a Deco stage set—just something smart, sharp, and comfortable.”
love this contemporary art
5. At home in SoHo, Arianna Huffington, the author of a new book called “The Sleep Revolution,” sleeps — soundly — in a bedroom decorated in pale, soothing colors.
“What I want is a good sleep.” I hear you, Arianna!
6. Fashion designer Monique Lhuiller Bel Air home.
the outdoor space is the truely extension for the house. A soothe and stylish place for family’s activities.
7. Fashion designer designer Jenni Kayne’s Lake Taco vocation home.
organic, comfy and Bohemia—this is exactly where I want to spend my vocation.
9. Actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth’s happy place.
what about yours?
I hope you enjoy the tour and get inspired to create your own happy place.
Happy Friday

After spending 3 days on the road, I really just love to chill out at home. A cozy banquette, a table with flower print table cloth, an armed Louis XVI chair, Chinoiserie vases and tea pot… Isn’t this room adorable? Yes, pillows and a lots of natural lights make it even better. What is your Friday plan?
