JAKARTA FINDS: Stylish living at Kare Jakarta

May 9, 2012

Did you know that the famous KARE Design – uber stylish home decor and furniture – is in Jakarta? It’s my favorite place to search for clocks (their clocks are cheaper than ACE hardware clocks AND more stylish!) and other statement/accent pieces for the home. I find that KARE is better value for money than Informa or Index because all the items are designed and styled to catch attention. (This is not where to go for basics!) You guys are in for photo blog treat! I took pictures of everything that caught my eye. 

I also found their framed photographs/prints interesting. There are some of famous skylines with the lights actually lighting up. How cool is that?


What began in 1981 as a student shelving store experienced rapid growth in Munich as a trendsetter for modern furnishing, designed with passion.
Today the “KARE Design” global brand covers a network of numerous KARE Shops, more than 45 franchise partners, international sales offices, in-house designers and producers in over 60 countries. 

And anyone who thinks the design-mad people at KARE will now rest on their laurels is making a big mistake. There’s always something new to discover: every single year 1500 new products create an exciting trend show full of surprises. 

Those who are interested in KARE are cosmopolitan, tolerant, spontaneous, trend-oriented, humorous – and probably a little crazy, too.

This place is definitely a must-see for all the design-loving, stylish-living Jakartans! Don’t be overwhelmed by all the eye-candy! Pick an object or two that will quirk up or ad some humor to your home and make your home more you! I absolutely love KARE Design and I hope you do to! What do you think of KARE???

We want to make the world we live in a little more stylish. – KARE DESIGN

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?

#udwhalloween
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.

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.
