Click here to read this article in the online magazine on page 56
Home is where we make memories. Why not make them somewhere uplifting?
Get the Trend: Explore what it means to feel ‘lifted’ every day by combining elements from the natural world with our imaginary worlds. Think recycled woodcraft amid splashes of colour…
Driftwood Lamps
We love these subtle, yet stunning Driftwood Lamps (HKD750) by TREE. Sculpted from nature’s abandoned driftwood found lying on forest floors and beaches across South-East Asia, each has its own identity. Find your own at www.tree.com.hk/
Bamboo Baskets with Trays
Combining natural materials with vibrant paints, these hand-made Indonesian Bamboo Baskets (HKD750), also by TREE, are accompanied by removable tray lids for ornamental use, storage, or simply to eat off for breakfast in bed… They come in hot pink, violet blue, sea blue, dusky pink, sun orange, denim blue, sky blue and peppermint green. Have the pick of your palette at www.tree.com.hk/
DIY Wood Headboard
This imaginative ‘Love’ Headboard — expertly executed by Andrea and her ‘Handy Hubby’ as seen on housetweaking.com — was created from a simple wooden board with words on. ‘Handy Hubby’ screwed the hangers to the back, then screwed more hangers onto the wall behind the bed before resting it carefully there. Hats off to this DIY duo for their ‘Love bed’! http://www.housetweaking.com/2011/01/12/up/
Tibetan Cloud Frame
The digital era is one thing, but having photos you can see and touch at home is another. Treasure your happiest memories by printing one out and putting it in something beautiful, like this 4R Tibetan Cloud Photo Frame (HKD820) in light blue from Shanghai Tang — a perfect gift for a friend.
