Interior Decor Inspiration: Colour Popping

Recently, I've been shopping....A LOT....in furniture stores.
The reason behind all these shopping is because I'll be moving into my new place soon.
*fingers crossed, it will be ready in the next 2 weeks*


I was very inspired with what I've seen in those designer furniture stores.
Everything was SO pretty!!
So I've decided to start a new category for this space of mine with interior decoration ideas and inspirations.

Today's post will be about furnishing a neutral toned area with a POP of colour.
I love to see accents of colour here and there on neutral furniture or in a neutral coloured room.

Here are some 'colour popping' inspiration photos that I love:

My favourite picture would be the 2nd and the last picture.

Which is your favourite?




On a fashion related note, colour blocking is a current hot trend at the moment. But I much prefer 
neon on neutrals rather than two bold colours together.

Do It Yourself:Burberry Trench

Wow, the end product looks very similar to the real deal.
I'm tempted to do this DIY on an old trench I have sitting at the back of my closet.
The only problem is, my friends wouldn't want to hug or stay close to me if I wear this out.

Will you wear this out or not?

A Vintage Tea Party

This year would be the year of organising parties for the younger siblings!
Back in May I organised my sister's 21st birthday party and not too long after, I had the opportunity to assist one of my dearest friends, Cheryl, for her sister's surprise Vintage Tea Party.

It was planned a while ago before Carene's actual birthday but everything was prepared at the last minute.
For a last minute job, I think she did exceptionally well.
Wait 'till you see all the pictures below, of the food, props and decorations, you will be in awe!

Handmade felt flag banners:

Fresh alnwick roses (I think) and hydrangeas:

'C' for Carene:

I helped with the display of the dessert/food table (^_^) :

Ta dah! All done & ready for the birthday girl and her guests:

Since it's a vintage tea party, vintage looking tea cups are a must and of course some English tea too:

Macaroons and cupcakes from Little Cupcakes Melbourne:

Heart and Star shaped fruit cut outs:

Iced fruit tea:

These were absolutely yummy. Wanton skin seafood salad:

"Konyaku" Jelly:

Assorted chocolates from Coco Black, home made strawberry tarts and home made blueberry cheesecake cups:

Home made chocolate cupcakes:

Bread Top Melbourne's yam cake. Best Asian cake, ever:

A compulsory picture of the pretty birthday girl. The flower headband was bought by Cheryl especially for this party. Then again, everything else was ALSO bought specifically for the party.

Meet Carene:

Pretty, isn't she?

If anyone reading is interested in hiring her as a

 freelance model, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Lol.

:)

Birthday girl and her speech bubbles.
All handmade by Cheryl and written by all the guests:

The birthday girl and her awesome party planner sister:

All the food (except for those that were mentioned above with names of stores accordingly) and decoration props were done by Cheryl herself. *claps*

Psst, I only contributed10% of my assistance for this party. Most of the time I was playing with the props:

Another successful party organising. Who wants to hire us now? :P
Teehee!

I'm also taking the opportunity of this heavy-food-picture-post to join:

The Joy Pledge

I've decided to join the joy pledge:

"Enter: the joy pledge; a dedicated effort to find and choose joy on a regular basis in hopes that sharing it will, in turn, inspire others to choose joy as well."

"How it works:

There are no rules to the joy pledge. This isn’t a weekly or monthly project, or something dedicated solely to photos or solely to words. A joy pledge post stems purely from inspiration. Maybe it’s a photo of a sunset, or a description of a newly mastered yoga pose. It might be a recorded conversation with a stranger, or a picture of the best cupcake you’ve ever had the pleasure of sampling. A joy pledge post exists to share and inspire the art of finding and choosing joy at every available opportunity.

If you choose to take the joy pledge, the same rules (or lack thereof) apply to you. Bonus points will be awarded to those who can find joy in the most uncommon (and perhaps unjoyful) places.

This isn’t about me, and it’s not about you. This is about us—creating, sharing, and inspiring joy with and for each other. This is our year. Let’s not let it go to waste, but do good with it. "

If you're like me or Ashlee and would like to share joyous moments do join the pledge
