What have I been up to? Well, I’ve been bitten by the home redecoration bug, so have been spending every free moment, redecorating around the house. Did I mention I love home deco? I do! Most people dread moving house, all the packaging and the cleaning chores drive them crazy. Well, not me. I love packing and cleaning, I see it as a chance to rediscover the bits and pieces that have been packed away and forgotten. It’s also a great chance to decorate another new place! What more can a girl ask for?! Oh, I’m so growing into a neat freak. It’s hard to believe this is a girl who couldn’t even manage to keep her bedroom floor free from clutter growing up. Really, when I was a teenager, my bedroom floor was literally covered by everything imaginable. My dad even threaten to publish the photo he took, to no avail of course. Ha. My parents must be so proud now, they must not in their wildest dream have thought that their little girl would grow up to be a neat freak today. 
So parents out that, there’s no need to sweat over your teenagers’ messy rooms, all hope is not lost. Heh.
I love the old country look in home deco. Spent countless hours online and offline hunting for that aged pieces with a story behind it. I love to look at that light scratch or worn part of the furniture, they tell a story and add much character to them. A clean freak who loves old pieces, can you imagine how much cleaning go into each piece before it’s deemed usable again?! Here I share bit and pieces of my humble abode, a place I can feel totally relax and at ease; a place filled with love and joy.
click on the thumbnails to enlarge (duh!)
Wow, that’s a lot of work figuring out how to do that thumbnail thing. Ha. Actually it’s easy, just took me some time to figure that out. Now, I invite you to share your home photos with me too.

Yipppeeee! It’s working again for me! :-))
Now must continue spring cleaning, revving up for the Chinese new year, which we will be celebrating in Hokkaido with a ski trip. So that’s all the more reason to leave a clean house for our return, eh? :-))
CC: Definitely! I love coming home to a tidy clean house. Just makes the holiday even better.

I was searching for information about \’Interior Decorations\’, and this your page (\’eet home | quaint melody\’) was in search results. Not sure why it appeared, but your site is still interesting to read
CC: Thanks for dropping by.
