Collectibles

I am a collector at heart. I have been collecting knick knacks and all sorts of things since I was little, from stickers to stationeries to pocketbooks then letters, clothes, shoes and bags. Now that I am married, I try to control my collector side because it usually translates to clutter all over the house. I married a collector/clutterer as well, that’s why! I am thinking of starting a collection that will be invaluable (in terms of money) in the future, like coins or designer bags or jewelry! These lladro collectibles can qualify as such.

I am sure Disney die-hard fans would love to get their hands on this collection! This is the all Swarovski Disney Snow White collection valued at $1,025.00!! In ten years, who knows how much would this set cost!

You can invest on anything Mickey Mouse too. This is valued at $125.00 (Dimensions: 1 13/16 x 2 3/8 inches.)

Frames and Cute Stuff

I have this urge to decorate my workspace’s walls. I have plenty of stuff to decorate, considering I have a great corner. But I am really thinking it over because I want something that I won’t get bored easily, not too expensive, can easily be changed and would allow me to really focus on work. I was thinking of using the cardboard displays I had made during our wedding but I wanted to include some of the kids too.

 

Any suggestions?

setting up a nice office at home

I have been working at home for almost two family  years now. It has been the best set up for the family as the kids are still young and we need someone to be there for them all the time. Naturally, that would be me, the mother. Inasmuch as I would like to be a housewife and stay-at-home-mom, we need to generate two incomes to be able to support our living. I am just extremely lucky I get to be able to stay at home and still be able to generate a decent income for the family.

It comes with a few rules though. Since I still work at home, I need an area solely intended for me to really work. It has been a work in progress for close to two years already but piece by piece we have completed my workstation. It still needs a bit of finishing touches and organizing but it is all set. I am dying to have some office furniture ordered at Intercounty, specifically their leather office chairs.

I have to be honest, you can find me glued to my workstation more than 12 hours a day so I would need a more comfortable, ergonomic chair. If I can find a red chair in there the better!

This comes in red, I want it! Maybe for my birthday!

We have very limited space at home so I try to look for furniture that would be multi-functional and at the same maximize our space. This would be perfect for the kids’ playroom! The kids have a lot of books so I am looking for creative ways to store them – easy to reach for them but fast to organize (and clean).
