Bespoke Full-length mirror

June 8, 2011

A few days ago my standing mirror finally arrived. Remember my hallway? The only thing that’s been missing from our entry hall were coat hooks and a full length mirror. It’s a must for me to be able to check t0p to toe before heading out (sometimes a shoe is perfect with my outfit in my head but in the mirror it turns my  legs to logs LOL!). 

Danni was so nice to get me this simple doorstop (I haven’t found this design in ACE). He even installed them for me!

The coat hooks are black coated iron from InterDesign (available in ACE Gandaria) which are actually for behind the bathroom door. It took my a long time to find hooks that were perfect for my hallway… most of the stuff I see are chrome. Can you imagine chrome hooks with this?

The base and the mirror are separate and what keeps the base from sliding are these soft but heavy duty rubber squares that he attached to the bottom. (these were NOT regular 3M bumpons – if you use that for something this heavy it will slide and your poor mirror WILL break) The original design of the base was rectangular but I requested he round out the corners (it’s even more rounded in reality than in the pic above), because I don’t want (future) kids getting caught up in those sharp corners.

Somehow DiploDog always manages to be in my shots. That’s a cameo of his fluffy bottom in the mirror. =P

The fabulous umbrella holder in Prada Silver was made-to-order by  GALERI POT. It’s called the Kolony Vase in Large for about Rp 240,000 (or 24 USD est.) if I recall correctly. Contact details below.

    […] A full length mirror – for that last check  before leaving the flat. Gotta be sure it’s not only the flat that looks put-together! I love that this mirror has a separate base and body. It doesn’t need to be drilled to the wall either. You can read about where I had it made here. […]

Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween decor collection so it’s not so heavy on the wallet. I’m so happy with this year’s finds & make sure to carefully store them so they have many more years of use.

It was @diplobaby’s idea to add googly eyes to the bats. So we did it together! I love the one eyed bats 🦇 and I love it when we decorate together! Definitely one for the core memory banks! 👻🎃🤍

I was tickled pink coz people would pass by and take pics, stare or even tell me good job. 🎃 Halloween is really my favorite holiday!

What do you think of our Halloween prep this year?

I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little too long for him this year but we sure got a kick from it.

DM me if you want to know where to order!

VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT Every year I look f VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT

Every year I look forward to this event for families in our village. We also invite our friends outside the village coz it’s so much fun for families. Parents and kids can come in costume. It’s done beside a fabulous park so kids can run around and play.

The pumpkins 🎃 might be overpriced (the bigger ones went from chf 18 last year to chf 23 this year) BUT it includes the free use of NIFTY CARVING TOOLS, waste disposal, clean up & cute decor that the organizers have provided.

We draw together. TD removes the guts. Then @diplobaby & i do the carving together with our son and it’s a controlled way of showing him how to use the tools in a safe way. Which is something I appreciate in Europe.

One year we tried pumpkin 🎃 carving at home and clean up was a totally nightmare. Never doing it again!

Then when kids and parents are are hungry we can buy food & drinks. 

We go home with a carved pumpkin 🎃 & don’t have to do the clean up. The pumpkin guts are also turned into soup by the organizers.

It’s also a good way for parents to unwind, catch up while the kids play in the playground. We usually see our neighbors here too.

It’s a win win for everyone & it reduces unused waste. I love it so much!

We never did pumpkins before coz it would rot@so fast in Asia. But i  the past 3 seasons of doing this I’ve learned so many tips and tricks for pumpkin 🎃 carving - especially how to prevent molds and insects. Let me know if you want me to do a separate post on that!

Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted ab Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted about our #DiploHome.

This is our BALCONY/TRASH SEGREGATION AREA.

Because we use it to entertain in SPRING & AUTUMN (too hot & too many insects in summer) I made sure that the trash segregation remains AESTHETIC by using white @ikeaschweiz SEGREGATION BINS.

So far SWITZERLAND TRASH SEGREGATION in our experience is even more complex than GERMANY but it has led to at least 50% RECYCLING rate which is pretty good, even though Germany still has the highest rate of recycling 66%

Let me know if you want to know more about how we manage trash in our village.
