New Abode

A dear friend of mine recently moved in to their new humble abode. And we’re all so happy for her. God willing me and my family can find a new abode over here as well.  We are looking for new a career path then if we get lucky, we can get something to shelter us  as well. Not that we don’t have a place to stay in right now, but it’s still different if you have something to call as you “own”, right? I can’t wait for this coming May. We’re waiting for something that will change our lives forever. We keep our fingers cross and we lift it up to Allah. If it’s meant for us, then it’s for us. If not, then I guess, there’s something much brighter and special for us. Allah knows everything and knows what’s best for us. Speaking of home, have to check out this mobile homes for sale.

Feels Home in Ikea

Ikea is loved by many. Every time we pass by that place, I can’t help myself missing our abandoned home back in Syria. We feel sorry for it because it’s empty and doesn’t have life right now. Oh it breaks my heart looking over the photos over my EHD. I know that Allah has it’s reasons and I guess, we just have to wait and find why these things are happening.

For now, I’ll just keep on taking photos over these lovely and elegant furniture in Ikea. Hubby promised to provide the best for me and the kids once we’re fully settled. But I told him that as long as we’re all together and all of us our healthy, with a comfortable bed to sleep on, everything is just perfect. I said that in the right time, when both of us are earning already, that’s the time that we can provide and rewards ourselves with this. For now, Alhamdulillah Thanks be to God, we’re together. That’s all that matters – for now.

Alright, truly a drama princess. Need to check on some packing list envelopes online. I have to prepare some notes for SIL. Have a good week ahead everyone. Be safe.

A Happy Home

I’m praying for the safety of the people of Syria. And at the same time I’m praying for our home to be safe.

This is the first time I’ll be sharing a photo of our humble abode. With the help of my in-laws, we were able to fulfill our dreams. But because of the current situation right now in Syria, our home needs to wait for us to come home. But our heart will always be with it. I pray that the current political issues on involving Syria will soon come to an end. It seems like yesterday when Hubby’s just looking for switch plates that will match our wall décor. Time flies so fast and we thank Allah God almighty for always guiding us when we were still building our home. Anyways, that’s it for now. Have a blessed weekend everyone.

Housewarming Gifts

I was hoping that I can order a gift for a friend’s new house, because they moved in a few weeks ago to their new apartment. Aside from her, since I’m here staying with my SIL, their apartment is still new as well. So might as well order two gifts then. It’s nice to give something for them and to welcome a new journey ahead for their new abode. Below are some photos that I’m thinking to give. What to do you think?

I just hope it can be delivered before the end of the month. Christmas is 3 days from now, so I know that they will not receive it within this week, but hopefully before the end of the month.

We Need Curtains and Draperies

These are the things that we need for our home. I’m thinking of getting curtains from Brylane Home. Their designs are wonderfully made. The colors that I’ve chosen matches our wall designs and particularly the furnishings. Their prices are reasonable as well. Choose between $0-$39.99. From all types of colors from Beige to Yellow. Right now they have a 20% off with the highest priced item of your choice + free express shipping upgrade. Great deal, right? Aside from those deals, what I love about them is that they have all types of things that you need for your home sweet home. Beddings, bath, kitchen appliances, storage, furniture & décor, window and dinnerware sets. It’s like a one stop shop over the net. What else do you need to make everything complete for your humble abode?

Going on with my curtain wish list. We have 3 verandas. And I’m eyeing on either of these two photos below for the kitchen door.

And here are my choices for the for the salon.

Having draperies in the home makes the surroundings cozy. It’s like having a feeling of being at peace. There’s no place like home.

Dining Table Ideas

We need an idea for a dining table for our home sweet home. We have a limited space though, so I browsed some ideas. I hope that hubby will approve any of this style. I’m looking for a 4 sitter set with 2 more extras just in case my family-in-laws comes for a visit. A visitor may come along as well, so we’ll never know.

So here are some ideas I chose. What do you think? For the 2 photos below, I want the 2nd option. I like the idea of having a small stool (this will serve as the extra – just in case).

1st Option2nd Option

The dining table for this one is cute. I like the combination of baby blue, mahogany and white. But ours is chocolate brown and off white, so we need to stick to that color.

And this one is very elegant. More on like a condominium style. But I like their dining area. So I have this as one of the options.

5th Option

There you go. At least I blogged it already. So just in case we’re ready to have it made, I’ll just look over my archives for this designs.

A Place of Our Own

“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”
“Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to”
“Home is the place where it feels right to walk around without shoes”
HSH

This is our blessing. A door house of our own. We’re thankful for this blessing. Most especially for the support of my in-laws. Without their guidance, this door will not be possible now. Our home is ready for us. But due to unexpected circumstances, we opt not to move in right now. I’m giving birth in a few weeks and we need someone to be with me. So we’re still staying with in IL’s house. Aside from that, the building is not yet fully occupied. We’re still waiting for some residents to occupy the available flats within the building and for them to build it since our building is more on a owned thing, you get what I mean? Build is as you want it to be. Designed it as you like.

What’s inside? Close friends have seen what we have in store for us. Hubby and I chose everything from A-Z. From the fixtures and furniture, the color of walls. FIL is our foreman. He organized the group of people to build the house. We’re lucky because the electrician in charge is Hubby’s cousin too. This house is built by the guidance of Allah God Almighty. I thank my friends for the support and for all the wonderful compliments we received. Thank you thank you! We await for a generous person who can give us a new samsung lcd screens to complete our living room, haha! :D Just kidding.
