Artsy Boxy

Decoupaging is my latest craze.

Before: Functional name card boxes with not much funAfter: I am liking the 'retro' feel. 2 'retro-fied' name card boxes, one for personal use and one for business use (yeah, I am organized like that).
This is where they will sit on my home office desk

Laptop Support

Very often we have been using our laptops while 'lepak-ing' on the couch. Hence, rise the need for a laptop support. Warm heat on the laps coming from the laptop is not cool (pun intended ;-P). We have been shopping around, and are planning on getting one of those that cost approximately RM100 until we came across these practical Japanese table look-alike thingy at Tesco for a fraction of the cost (RM10!).
Before: The boring ol' tableAfter: Jazzed up with beautiful printed papers and plastic lamination for water-proofing.

This little table serves nicely as laptop support with good leg room and with enough table space left for a cuppa. Alternatively, it can also serve breakfast in bed ;)

When not in use, the legs can be folded up, lean it against the wall and now its a nice one of a kind piece of art. Talk about multi-purpose at such good price:
Table: RM10
Paper: RM3

Paint me pretty

I am very much into thrifty home improvements (aka cheap home improvements, preferably using recycled materials). I have gotten this unused horrid old photoframe from my brother.And transformed it into this shabby chic new frame. Nothing that two coats of glossy white paint can't do.
And taaadaaa.... the final result of the newly framed picture on our picture wall. Aint it pretty? ;) Note my parent's 1978 wedding photo in the background.
Cost break down:
Photoframe: Free (Contribution from Alwyn)
Paint: Free (Leftoever from earlier projects)
Score! A jiffy transformation at zero cost.
