Home Decor Fanatics... Check This out !



I was visiting Tanglin Mall yesterday coz I had seen an email from " I Wanna Go Home" Home decor shop promoting their items for the holiday season. Out of curiosity to see what they have, I drove there despite of  the bad rainy weather. I didn't mind the rain much at all considering I would be spending most of the time inside the mall anyways.

Tanglin Mall 

" I Wanna Go Home " decor shop has been one of my favorite places in this mall. I always love their decorative items, wall art and again I was so jealous to see my favorite home item .. the hanging outdoor egg chair by their front store display ! I have a hanging chair at home in the Philippines. The sight of this egg chair on display made me scream " I wanna Go Home " indeed LOL!
 I miss lounging on my hanging chair so much !

My very owm hanging chair waiting for me in my home in Laguna, Philippines.

I had spent a lot of time looking at all the displays in the store. Geeeezzzz ... How I wish I'm loaded with money so I can buy everythig I like in that shop. O buy the whole shop Lol ...How I wishhhhhh ....Siggghhhhhh . 

I was already on my way out of the shop when a familiar voice of a friend of mine Saisuree Jay called my name. I was happy to see her. We have not seen each other for like 3 years so we chatted and we walked around in the shop for a while together. She was there looking for a dining table to buy. I told her I got an idea,  since she was on a mission to find a dining table when I found her,  I suggested thatwe should go together to Dempsey Hill so she can check on some teak wood dining tables . I was sure the shops in Dempsey can offer her more choices and she can have more options. We agreed to go there after  we had a cup of coffee at Starbucks located in the ground floor of the mall. We laughed out loud while we started chatting that a foreign guy was smiling at us. He told us we sure like having a good time bondng together in the cafe. He was absolutely right ! 

When we were on our way to Dempsey Hill, I accidentally found  another good lady friend Jean Marie who manages CURIO home decor shop in Dempsey standing on the side of the street. 




I stopped the car and waved at her to get her attention and check if she had recognized me. Oh yeahhh ... I successfully did. . Again, I'm so happy to see another friend I had not seen for almost 4 years. I had introduced Jean Marie & Saisuree Jay to each other. Saisuree and I did some photo shoot in Jean Marie's shops and .. wow , her items for sale are stunning pieces .. absolutely world class. I was so mesmerized by a lot of items in her shop.
I do propose that you people must go there and take a look !

Here are some items as we had seen in the 1st CURIO shop ...

Sofa Ensemble we found in 1st Curio Shop ( SOLD! )
All decor Items in this photo are still for sale !

Jean Marie ( In White ) was busy dealing with buyers.
I was very tempted to get a MOP in -lay resin Tray i found in her shop selling for SGD$210. I really really love the look of that tray but I don't have the money to buy it now. Again, a big sighhhhhhhhh.... what a miss !

Saisuree and I also went to her 2nd shop just a block away. She and I never stopped from drooling just with sight of the items on display.



The 2nd shop is more on a Conservative, Vintage type of atmosphere decorated with antique leather sofas, Combination Metal / Leather dressers , iron cast chandeliers , vintage items and some old collection of pre-loved items like vintage typewriters & tennis rackets creatively organized on the walls.









I love the way the colors are blending / complementing each other in the showrom. Even the contrasts as well , very eye catching.  I would personally say whoever is the person responsible for putting up all the decors in this shop has an eye for real Art and a real artist bearing the inner value of things in mind. He had recycled a lot of things from crap into unique visuals. Just like these tennis rackets on the wall .


OMG Isn't that a Gorgeous  Work of Art ? 


Again I would say .. I was completely captured by this place . So please don't waste your time... go there and have a look for yourself . Your time spent walking around in CURIO would be worth it ! 
Promise ...
