Brad Ford’s New York Pad


Interior designer, Brad Ford‘s New York pad is simply stunning. It feels a bit masculine for my taste but his eclectic style with the muted color pallet is something I am starting to gravitate towards.

His styling is a great example of practicality and design where thing look stylish and yet inviting and relaxing. I especially love his inspirational touches of adopting classic modern furniture in urban apartments.


The pottery collection by the window is absolutely gorgeous. While they look great individually, it’s amazing how beautiful they look together. It makes me want to go out and do more pottery hunting. You can check out his interview here.

Craspedia: Billy Balls


One of my readers recently asked me what the yellow flower is in my previous post, so I’d like to share the answer with those who also have a curiousity about these mysterious little flower.

The flower is called  Craspedia aka ”billy buttons” “billy balls” or “woollyheads”. I’m sure you have seen them everywhere including decorating blogs or in magazines but seemingly it is most commonly used as a wedding accessory.

This flower is dried & preserved so that the color will never fade and will last for decades. I really love its poppy vivid golden yellow color. I almost use them everywhere in my house!

If you are planning to purchase Billy Balls in the US, I highly recommend the online store, hammelmans because not a lot of florist carries them and also you can receive over 20 stems (mine was over 30) for only $6.25 (+ shipping fee) with super quick delivery!

Hello My New Home!

My journey of house hunting is getting close to be over. I am moving to a new place within three weeks!! I’ve been looking for a MCM home since the time I started this blog, but my husband and I decided to settle down for a contemporary brand new townhouse because it was closer to work. The only issue I might have is that since the house is a corner unit with many windows, I won’t be able to bring all my furniture due to the limited wall space (which is the reason why I am selling some of my furniture). Nonetheless, I am very excited to start off with a blank canvas and come up with ideas to decorate the new place!

These photos are a sneak peek of the townhouse. From the top, master bedroom, balcony, living room and second bedroom. Stay tuned for more updates!
