Kitchen Light

We always wanted to change the light in the kitchen, since they are very out-dated.

After 10 months, we finally did it. We got the light from IKEA in their clearance section. It said something missing, but we still got it since it was only $6.

This is what the kitchen look like before, with the light on the left 

This is the light we bought (sorry for the poor pictures)

Now the kitchen look modern and bright.

BTW our backsplash is finished too

handles and knobs

We bought these handles and knobs few weeks ago. The handles are from Lowes and the knobs are from Target, I found them in the clearance, they are less than $3 per box (there are 4 of them).

The handles are for the kitchen cabinets 

The knobs are for both bathrooms

Switch covers step by step

Here are the steps how I did the switch covers 

To begin with, you need a switch cover (of course), little fabric, a pen, glue gun, scissors, a screw with a sharp end (or anything sharp, e.g. pin or nails)

1. Cut a piece of fabric just little bigger than the switch cover

2. Draw the shape out using a pen or pencil

3. Cut the shape out, also cut the diagonal to the corner (see picture). When cutting the shape, leave some space so you could glue to the switch cover. 

4. Start putting them together. Line the cover with the fabric using the shape you drew. 

Make sure you pull the fabric tight enough when you glue them onto the switch cover.

5. Cut the corners off 

6. Glue each side onto the switch cover

7. Almost finish

Finally just use a sharp screw or nail to make the holes for the original screws, now it is ready to put it back on the wall.

Switch covers

I saw these from one of the Etsy shops. I wanted to buy some, however I stop and think I could make them myself with the left over fabric from the pillow covers.

This is what you need to start with 

First attempt, you can see the glue mark.

Second attempt, better 

Third attempt, almost perfect 

I am going to change all the switch covers in our place. It added some colour and pattern to our plain coloured wall. 

Roy's

We went to Roy's for our wedding anniversary, and I am very happy with it. The food was good, service was great. We made our reservation online through their website and put down we are celebrating our anniversary. They printed a special page for celebrating our anniversary.

After we had our main, we got complementary desert

They also took a picture for us to take home

It was a lovely evening. 

I have been playing a game called Draw Something on my phone. A game that required some drawing skill which I don't have much and you also have to guess what the other person drawing too.

Here is a picture of people drew Lady GaGa

I was on a baking spree the other day. I baked Banana bread, raspberry and chocolate chip muffin and some cookies too
