Ode White Castle

The last few weeks had been extraordinarily busy. We had local and overseas orders to meet. And like many times before, we couldn't find enough time to take pictures of those projects and creations to add into our portfolio.

It was even more inopportune these last few weeks cos we'd been busy opening up our white castle for viewing. The encroachment of our privacy, the prospect of losing something dear to us, the hope of getting a reasonable offer, and the excitement of realizing our dreams took us on a roller coaster ride.

Alas, our white castle has been sold...

While we were excited to change for the better, we were also totally unprepared for the emotional impact the sale actually had upon us. After all, we've shared many wonderful memories growing up here, together.

Thankfully though, we're finally moving on with a light heart. We'll just have to continue focusing on the tasks at hand, and go on ahead as planned. We're looking for a bigger place to stay....and hopefully with that, a bigger space to do our projects too.

Do pray for us.

We'll miss our white castle for sure, but it was home only because we made it so. We'll build a new home soon, but not before saying goodbye...

Louis Chairs

We think Louis chairs are perfect for weddings...Always definitive, they fit into any decor styles.

They used to come in Classics, but their designs have been modernized and modified to fit into any wedding styles of this modern day.

Dreamt of having them for my wedding, but there were no companies here renting out these lovelies for events and weddings, back then.
In fact even now, while Louises are gaining popularity in American weddings, their use here is still quite limited to decorating dining rooms and hotel ballrooms.
We're seriously thinking of investing in them, but our search for good quality louis chairs suitable for banquets, is just beginning. And we're not even sure if we'll strike a good deal...
But here's a take on what we've seen around, and the potential that Louis Chairs can elicit on the decor mood of not just homes, but events as well...
Seen above is the evergreen Classic design....
Here's the classic again, placed amidst an ASSORTMENT of white garden chairs, for a french garden wedding.
Intricate and colourful, it breaks the white monotony, yet blends very harmoniously with the garden surrounding ...Utterly gorgeous!
And here's the modern Ghost Louis, seen in Martha.
The Ghost Louis again, enhancing the elegant and modern splendour of the setting above.
And the Ghost Louis yet again, used in a classic setting. Call it fusion if I may, but who's to say classic set ups must be complimented only with classic chairs?
The Ghost Louis, obviously gaining more popularity. Adopted here in a romantic european set up.
And here's one which I've fallen in love with....The Folding Louis.
It's elegant, classy, modern and most importantly - practical.
Imagine how gorgeous Folding Louis will look if we were to incorporate it into the inspiration board seen at SMP below

Loving Louis!

Out of the closet

Since we first started our biz 2 years ago, we've been slowly and quietly collecting props and decorative pieces from many parts of the world.

But many of these pieces have been stashed aside, unused and forgotten, only because we were not prepared to take on big projects back then.

They're out of the closet now, and we're getting them sorted out for new projects. One of the pieces we like, and which we decided to take a picture of, is our mini column.

Apart from being just a column, it makes for a beautiful centrepiece on our Dessert Isle...

Beautiful even on its own, I can only imagine how beautiful this dessert isle will look, all dressed up with beautiful treats, fresh flora, gorgeous tableware and matching favors.
More props are finally coming out of the closet, but we can't be displaying all of them here...lest it takes away all the elements of surprise :)
Nevertheless, we're just too excited to not display our new gorgeous 5-tier silver plated cake stand which we just bought a couple of days ago!
Tagged with a hefty price, we don't mind investing in it because we know we are paying for outstanding quality - very finely made, tasteful and the sort that will wear well through the years.
This kind of stand will make any cupcakes look good, say if we were to use it as a Wedding Cupcake Centrepiece, for example. We believe that delicious cupcakes shouldn't be 'overworked' with too much icing and such, cos sometimes all it needs is a good presentation.
These are just random ideas, and photos of which were taken just as randomly, in between the 'excavating' breaks.
So well, that's enough imagining and fooling around for now...plenty more excavating to be done...

New winds

The process has begun...

We're making changes...and though scary, it's the only way forward. We have solid plans for 2010, but execution wise, well let's just say they're being worked on :)

But somewhere along the line, we're looking into having a new space to meet our clients. Nope, not our very much dreamt of Rodeo Drive Boutique Shop, but something else...
I like the hexagonal white one, but it's to be determined by concensus...so more meetings.
Stay tuned and follow us on this journey.
