Home Tour: Pacific place, HongKong

For last 1 month we have been living in this lovely serviced apartment. Although it is a temporary accommodation I must say I have kind of got attached to it. It is perfect in so many ways.. breathtaking views of world-famous Victoria Harbour and dynamic Central Business District , a well equipped kitchen with features like a plants and pantry, efficient and spacious storage in all rooms etc.. 

We will be moving to our own pad soon and so I will take you on my temporary home's tour today..This apartment has 2 bedrooms...I will start with the living room..

This is the living room.. Its lovely isn't it!!  I am not a big fan of L shaped sofas..never thought they are comfortable until this one.. As they have added so many big cushions even the hard to sit in corners are comfortable..The first thing that caught my eye was the framed abacus art..It is so fabulous and easy to make..one day I will make for my home as well..:)

    The other brilliant feature I like is the picture panel to hide the TV..

The dining area has two cabinets which have lovely glass vase which have lights hidden inside them..Looks lovely when you want the room to be dimly lit..

The kitchen is fabulous for a person who likes to cook..In Hong Kong space is precious and most apartments we saw ( while house hunting) had tiny kitchen ..But this one is just perfect ..The plant really add a homely touch to this home-away from-home:)

I really love this kitchen..so bright, warm,cozy and modern..

The children's room has 2 single bed and a study table.. Since my baby is just 5 months ,we use it as a play room/ reading room/Devghar ..multi purpose room:) I like how they have hidden the switches and plugs in the head board panel..

The master bedroom area is really spacious.. The storage cabinets/closets are outside the room well hidden in wooden panels..It has really thick dark curtains which helps me oops I mean the baby to sleep longer:)

 You can see more pictures in the last post I did on pillow arrangement here.. 

Apart from these features what I like and would like to incorporate sometime in my home are the rattan fine weaved dustbins( very stylish), remote controlled lights, a strand of fresh flowers and the paintings in the toilets.

Although I am excited to move to our own pad to decorate and design again, I will miss this place!!

All the pictures are taken by me except the ones without a watermark are from this property site. I thought they are way better than the iPhone pictures I took:)

Cozy corners in my home in Zürich...

This time I am sharing something different from the usual post of dining table decor .. Change feels very refreshing!! So today I am sharing my previous apartment in Zürich ..the cozy corners .. table tops.. everything besides dining table decor!!




My home decor would be best described as Indian/Asian decor with European influence.The first picture is of my living room..My living room revolved around the fireplace.. My fireplace mantel decor changed according to the seasons.. This particular picture is taken early this year when it was snowing.. My glass reindeer in his striking pose made it all look so merry to me..

This second picture is from the entrance to the living room .. I have tell you that I do not have much of  a green thumb ..yes thats right..you might wonder I see so many plants which look green and happy.. I think they are best and the most strongest and durable plants of all..This one is peace lily which apart from purifying the air , stays alive for many days without water..(at least mine did..lol) The paintings on the wall are mine.. The coziest corner for me was on the sofa ..I kept my laptop on its arm and surfed your beautiful blogs from there!!

This was the most peaceful corner in my house..with the Buddha statue ..behind are  wooden coasters I had brought from Malaysia. I am finally planning to use them for what are meant to be used as- coasters:)

Later on I changed its decor with some of my new paintings of Ganesha and it was the most relaxing and peaceful place in the home for both of us.. 

So finally some table top decor..Sharing today are my bedside table decor.. simple and practical..  I have a bad habit of sitting on the bed while painting..Its a creative corner:)) Luckily never splashed color here and there:) The Golden Pothos or silver vine grew in a reused jam bottle to which I tied a green ribbon..! The clock is a replica of the royal French clock..a souvenir from Paris. 

The other room had these lamps on the bedside table which I had decorated.. I got bored of the plain lamp shades so I just jazzed them up. Just so I don't get bored of this side, I made the other side with different pattern. The carved box is from India ..matryoshka dolls from Moscow..and the kiola is from Sydney and the bed linen is from Usa( I think JC penny)

The other side of the lamp shades..

Lastly this is the window sill near one of the corner windows where I could spend hours whenever I had time looking at the magnificent ZüriSee or lake Zürich.. 

On a clear full moon night we would sit there watching the moon ... its beautiful  reflection in the water.. It was very romantic!! Below is the picture of the view in summer..

Hope you guys liked the cozy corners.. table tops.. and other things in my home!! I loved my home in Zürich.. It was the only thing I felt sad before leaving.. But thats the part of being a global citizen:) I am looking forward to decorating my new home ... It would be fun!!
