a peek at my cafe
By lowquacity
Here's a look at my favorite place... a cafe that i (finally) own.
I'm proud to say that we made almost everything ourselves. The materials for the furnitures are taken from salvaged old woods, sink from an old bucket, and light fixtures from rice bowls and eating utensils.
It was my lucky day when I found that green and hot pink wallpaper on sale at some swanky interior boutique. I could have never afforded it had it not been 30% o » READ MORE
a loud library
By lowquacityThis room is my home library's reading area. You cant see the books because they're on the other side of the wall. I'm saving up for a wallpaper that i've got my eye on for that bright white wall. Like i said, i cant stand leaving a white wall white.
My minimalism lover friends say the colour's too loud for a library. But me... well i find serenity in chaos.
Majestic
By lowquacity
Here in Jakarta, lies a little piece of chaotic playground we call
Majestic. There's nothing really majestic about our Majestic. Its a
pretty big traditional market. But it has all kinds of treasures hidden
and buried in its little corners.
From kitschy kitchen wares, miles of beautiful fabrics, to dusty vintage knick knacks piled in the back of a shop.

Rice Bowl Lamp
By lowquacity
Here is the lamp that i made for my cafe. It's made out of metal rice bowl. These types of rice bowls are pretty common here in Indonesia, and that means cheap. But basically, you can make these out of any bowl. That's the great thing about DIY lamps, you can make them out of almost anything.
I painted the bowls red. And then drilled the bottom to put the light fitting through. It's amazingly easy.
