my IKEA wishlist for my tiny kitchen

kitchen October 17, 2014

Yuuuhuuuu~

The world's biggest furniture seller IKEA has just opened its first store in Indonesia. I'm beyond excited! Why? Just because I've been dreaming to see their so called uber cool and well designed furniture and kitchen appliance, and of course, trying their famous Swedish Meatball, hahaa..

But I guess I have to wait until that IKEA-alsut-udah-buka-yumari-kita-ke-sana fever is gone. Coz my friends told me that it still crowded nowadays since they're just opened for a few days. And I really don't like walking around in store full of human being, or queuing in restaurant with my 19 months old kiddo (nobody would like to do this one anyway).

So, in spite of my desire to take a picture of those Swedish Meatballs and post it in my Instagram and Path account, I think I'm gonna put on a wishlist for my tiny kitchen first.

GNARP set of 5 // DRÖMMAR pastry cutter // DRÖMMAR baking tray // SOCKERKAKA pastry sheet // ÄDELSTEN mortar // TRIPP tin set // MIXTUR serving bowls // GUBBRÖRA rubber spatula

Want to see more? Visit IKEA Indonesia homepage here and see if there's something you would reeeeeally want there. Feel free to leave a comment if you wanna share your own wishlist. :)

Knife Holder

accessories April 16, 2012

Who knows that a knife holder design could be so much fun?!! Well this guys are definitely know how to do that. Look what I just found..

1. Throwzini's Knife Block

I couldn't find the original article, but according to this article, it's made of a hand crafted wood, comes with 5 stainless steel razor professional chef knives that held securely by magnets in individual protective sheathes.

2. Human Head Knife Block

Shaped just like a human's head..

3. Heart Knife Holder

This red plastic knives holder and set is just too cool to be ignored if you put it in your kitchen.

4. Voodoo and The Ex Knife Set

My favorite! Hahaaa..

I like the concept theory of The Ex Knife Set. This product is definitely cheaper than therapy.

Simple and Finished

apartment February 27, 2012

They called it Fundamental Furniture..

For those who might have never know, let me show you some products design by Japanese furniture maker from Building Fundamental Furniture, one of the "form follow function" furniture maker believers..

Using a fine material with a sufficient design and accurate structure, leave it without any decoration but beautifully finished. They design furniture that is adaptable and modular, so that the user could freely changing the layout of their room, and also could be use for a long time due to the growth of the family.

These are my favorites.. (^^)

The basic furniture gives the user ability to arrange their room easily, and the variety of the wood could give a different touch for every room. Who knows that simple could be so much fun..?! :)

Visit their website here to see more nice and clean designs from Building Fundamental Furniture.

Lego Fridges

fun design February 09, 2011

Are you living together with some friends and have to share like everything in the house with them? Some of them might be very neat, while the others could be a little gross. Now the second type of person could be really sucks that sometimes make you sick of trying to tell them how to tidy up things around.

And how about the fridge? Sharing a fridge is not as easy as it looks, I know, because it happens in my parents home. I'm such a woman that like to keep my things well-organize. In the fridge, I'd like to keep my cheese in a same place before and after I used it. And the same things happen to some other stuff too, like chocolates and juices, and it sucks when someone took mine as he/she think it's their stuff, aaaarrgghh drives me crazy..!! >.<

When a fridge could be a problem in a family, I bet there are hundreds of people that have problem with their roommates about it too. So, I just stepped on to an interesting post with a very catchy title, "Stackable Lego Fridges Thwart Thieving Roomates". Hahaaa.. :D and I really think that this design could be a way out of those kind of fridges-problems between roomates. ;)

It's private, big enough for one person's stuff, stackable, and they said that each module can be customize with a variety of skins and add-ons. Oh.. How I wish I had that when I was in the college last year.. ^^

Anyway, it was post from 2009 that I read, I am not sure if they really produce this 'cool' fridges yet. If you know something about it, please let me know.. ^^

The Biedermeier

classic November 02, 2010

I'm new to this style, but I do curious about it..

So the story is.. I was checking on this group page Gaisbauer Furniture on my Facebook account and interested on their products. So I look at their website here and found a lot more gorgeous furniture..

Stool (walnut)

Sofa (walnut)

I'm not really a big fans of classic but I like some of classic furniture.. They come in great shapes, really.. Some were combined by another materials (like that stool) that made it look simpler and yet modern, not old.. And I love the fact that they usually manufactured by hand.. and this Gaisbauer Furniture, made me curious about the Biedermeier style that they use on their products.

On my conclusion, Biedermeier style in furniture design is one of the classic styles that was very influential during the early 19th century in Austria and Germany, when the prospering middle-classes wanted a simpler style than the pompous, magnificent Empire style with its grand monumental mahogany furniture.

Biedermeier furniture used locally available materials such as cherry, ash and oak woods. The furniture was simple and elegant. Its original geometric shape often leads it to being described as the forerunner of the modern furniture.

Secretaire (walnut)

The secretaire is one of my favorite. I think it might be the 'it' thing on that time, like you have to put them on your room so that could make you look more fashionable.. things like that, you know, you are very cool if you have one, hehee..

Anyway, Gaisbauer Furniture is also did some projects with other designer. From cocktail bar project to the office room. And I do have my favorite one of their project.. This oval dinning set designed by Ernst Fuchs is just sooo gorgeous..!! :D

It's Halloween soon, you might have prepare costumes for the kids, or for you? Decorate the house and bought some candies for the trick or treat hours..

Actually, I haven't been in any Halloween night or party. We don't really have it in Indonesia. Sometimes there are parties that held in some public space but I'm not really in to it, too many people, too much sounds.. But I'd love to have a Halloween night one day. ^^

Anyway, I found these fun little things for you to have for the Halloween..

fun design November 07, 2009

Simple things could be very interesting..

I just found this gorgeous CHOPPING BOARDS on one of my bookmarked site, Kitchen Critic. They said that no two boards are the same, great isn't it? I really would like to have one, but I haven't got my own house. Should I buy and save it for later in my parents house?? Hmm.. I don't think so, heheee.. :P

There are four designs available for sale. A small character laser engraved into the Acacia wood, and transformed those natural wood grains into a unique and beautiful landscape behind the illustration. Ooooooww, what a great idea..!! ^0^
