I am a mess. Okay, not just that – I’m messy too.
So, I’m very proud that I cleaned the house instead of going to yoga today. Normally it looks like an episode of Hoarders (just don’t open the closets!). Hiring a professional cleaning service like Arbor Trail Cleaning Co to help you clean your home is a fantastic idea. With services like house cleaning service Frisco, one can do yoga or other activities, instead of cleaning. 
I thought it was sad that Ben and I have lived in this condo for almost one year and we don’t have any pictures up. So, I bought this inspirational canvas the other day and stuck it on a pre-existing nail.
Our room on our condo really needs some pictures though! If you’re also looking for such a condo, The Myst Condo offers residents a convenient and comfortable lifestyle, with everything they need at their doorstep. We have so many renovation plans to improve our property this year. From renovating the living room to getting gutter services.
Well, it needs pictures besides these random ones I put in a frame this morning since they were getting dusty.
Luckily, Ben’s dad is a painter and we have a ton of art to put up. Then I also just love reverse glass paintings, as they just look incredible in the right setting. I found some amazing reverse glass paintings from a web site in the UK, so you can check those out at https://tallulahfox.co.uk/product/indian-reverse-glass-paintings/. It’s just a matter of finally unpacking it!
And because I know you guys are missing a picture of my Pink Sink… (If you click on that link you’ll see it’s not just roses that Vegas likes.)
Vegas didn’t help clean, but he did oversee the cleaning.
And I don’t think he approves of my work…
But, don’t think I turned all “clean” on ya – I made sure to leave a pile of mail on the couch to deal with in a fluster 4 minutes before our guests arrive. If you find yourself needing a quick refresh, searching for Carpet cleaners near me can help tidy up any last-minute messes and make your home presentable.
If you have any questions about where any of my cheap furniture is from let me answer that – Ikea or Target. I’m not fancy, ‘member? And if you’re also looking for a condo to buy, check out The Lakegarden Residences which is near to Chinese Gardens and Lakeside MRT stations are less than 2km away. 
After Clean-fest 2011 I went to my mom’s to take Roxy for her summer hair cut. One of my biggest goals in life is to get Ben to love me as much as Bailey loves Roxy…
Then, I raided my mom’s fridge, threw everything in a bowl and called it lunch.
Eaten outside with Matt as he did an art project… 
Reason why my mom rocks = she got me a tissue box that looks like watermelon!
Reason why my mom sucks = she has this “XXL Bag” of M&M’s Dark Chocolate within 2 feet of where I’m blogging
And that my friends, was a tour of my lil’ home. Hope you enjoyed 
If you have design suggestions, like swapping a new shower tile, feel free to come over and help. I need it.
I was totally going to ask where you got your kitchen table. Way to head those questions off, haha.
Good to know there are other couples who have not bothered to put pictures up. My husband and I have had that on our to do list for a while…
I absolutely love that canvas! May I ask where you got it from?
Pssh, one year is nothing. My husband and I are coming up on living in our apartment for…four years? And we have yet to hang any of the pictures we own. They are still stacked up against one of our dressers. We’ve been house hunting and I laugh every time I realize we never fully moved in to our apartment because it was just supposed to be temporary!
I love your condo! SO cute!
Even if I don’t manage to do anything else (ie… shower)… but I’ve cleaned my apartment, I feel like a success. Woohooo!
Everything looks great! That watermelon tissue box is the bommmbb! I want one! I love food-themed things that are… well… not food! Keychains, pillows, knick-knacks. All so adorable!
I love that Ben isn’t in any of the three wedding pictures; totally something I would do! I was just looking at a double frame the other day (one side for photo, one side for invite) and the first thing I thought was ‘hmmm, which photo of me do I like the best?’ 😀
I say put watermelon tissue boxes all over the place.
my condo casa has not had any art up for almost seven years, now! and i would totally do my whole place in target + ikea. simple + cheap works for me! your pink sink is the best – so out it’s in!
Hi! This is the first time I read your blog and it was so cute and fun to read! I can’t wait to read again!
I love the cafe height table and chairs! And that pic with Vegas peaking out is so cute 🙂
It’s so clean! And bright and sunshiney. It looks like a happy place to be. And also makes me want to clean my room.
Thanks 🙂
I’ll take care of those M n M’s for you!
Dark chocolate and I are close buddies
I have a pink sink too!
I like having people over because it forces me to clean. Love the tissue box- very fitting!
75% of our apartment furniture is from IKEA or Target too. We figured that we’d buy “better” (i.e. more expensive) stuff when we moved into a house. You, know, since there’s tons of money left to do that. By the way, dark chocolate M&Ms are sooo much better than the original.
Let me be creepy for a minute…well creepier than normal….I use Cetaphil too! My derm. said I have allergies to a lot of face washes because I am a redhead so I gotta know, is that why you use it?
No, I just use it because I think it’s gentle but still gets my makeup off 🙂
I dont have any pictures hanging up either! Im too terribly picky about what i want up and I havent found the “perfect” thing yet.. Ive lived in my place for going on 2 years now!! The only stuff that I hung quickly was my childrens homeschool posters.
oh man i would not be able to resist those m&ms!
I was thisclose to buying that couch at Ikea… and then I didn’t. Boo.
M&M’s DARK are my nemesis :(… I totally can’t keep them around, or they will defeat me every.time.
I love spotting the kitty! It’s like”where’s waldo?” LOL
That’s why I put a few similar pics up – loved Vegas in them 🙂
Have a good weekend get away!!!
I make my mom hide her M&Ms…true story.
I loved the tour!! I still am just so envious of your desk behind the couch setup. It’s genius, I tell you. A setup like that may save my marriage. Not that it is in trouble.. just that I could easily blog AND spend quality (read:TV) time with Marsh. Your house is super cute! Also, I feel better that I am not the only one who doesn’t make decorating a priority.
99% of my furniture is Ikea and Target, too! The 1% that is not is stuff handed down from the fam. I love the good deals at Ikea!
I’m glad I’m not the only (messy) one! One of my big goals in life is to become a person who has a company-ready home most of the time (not even all the time…MOST of the time). I am definitely guilty of hiding things…in my oven, in my bathtub, under the bed. Sigh.
Also, I have the same problem with bare walls. But it really is the art that gives life to a home, so I’m working on that as well. I have a cool idea for art over my couch, just have to find a crafty ETSY-type to help me with it. You should definitely take advantage of some of that good, free art at your disposal!
I see you use Cetaphil too!! what do you use for makeup??
I use a bunch of different kinds of makeup. I’m not super loyal with that stuff except Mac eyeshadow.
i have that same motivational canvas, and i love it 🙂
mine is black & white though not colored. i like the colored one better!
Where did you get that canvas? I think it would make for a great addition to my bedroom when I need help getting out of bed and out running in the morning!
haha our decorating “styles” seem very similar.
maybe one day we’ll both get around to it.
