DIY acrylic bedside table & lamp

Yay! finally finished DIY-ing my bedside table. It also doubles up as a lamp as i placed the lamp inside. 

Its pretty simple to do. i bought the separate acrylic pieces and glued them together using acrylic glue, (left the back uncovered as i wanted some air circulation for the heated bulb) sprayed glue on the lace and stick it to the underside of the table, placed the lamp iunder the table and there u go..

This is my first time glueing acryli » READ MORE

Natural lightbox

I have a odd window behind my bed headboard that i never open. Its used for the aircon serviceman as he need it to access to the aircon ledge outside the window.  

Ive temporarily coverd the window with a felt fabric panel that i DIYed. Cut out a simple pattern in the panel so that i can let light in.. more photos in my blog

but i'm still not completely satisfied with this look. Intend to get something more permanent. D

How do i beautify a fishtank??

My hubby is a avid fish hobbyist. he loves his fishes to bits! i've grown to like them too but not the tanks.. Before we move in we agreed to have a built in tank manufactured so that it can blend with the decor.. we had a hole knocked down from a wall so that we can see thru into the tank. the other side of the tank is flushed with a build in full height cabinet. 

But his love for fishes grew (hmm cant say that for his love for me) and we bough » READ MORE

was it worth it to DIY?

we've had our new (isit still considered new?) home for about 1 year now, and had DIYed lots of stuff in the past year. Some of the DIYs i will never ever attempt again. Decided to list down some of the DIYs we did and whether its worth doing it all over again, for another room.. or for another new house in the future.

Do kirigami for fun

When i was just a little gal, my mum used to cut out paper patterns to amuse me.. or rather she taught me how to do it so that i can sit at a corner amusing myself over the different pattern possibilites and she can finally have some time on her own.

its super easy to do (unless u are aiming for some complex patterns) and it just takes a fraction of time. Maybe when i'm tired of the flower i did for my coffeetable, i will do an xtra large one to f » READ MORE
