Some balcony stuff from Ikea not available here

Spotted some outdoor furnishing on the online ikea which may not be available locally. I have been to almost all corners of the local ikea store and and yet to see anything like this. A check online showed that of the 2 items, only the black Dyning balcony privacy screen may be available in store. However, this item in the range may be discontinued soon. 

I do like the idea of some screen covering the lower part of the balcony railing but I am not sure if black is the right color as it may be too attention seeking? Well, if only they have stock in white.

The Duck Muzzle

This is too hilarious not to share. Introducing the duck muzzle for pets from Korea! 

I was browsing online for pet stuff and I chanced upon this gimmick gadget. At first I thought this was some Halloween costume getup for pets but it turned out to be some ingenious gadget muzzle for pets. 

Not suitable for long wear though, nor for eating and drinking. Made of soft silicone and comes in 3 different sizes. The small one cost S$10, medium S$12, large S$14. Delivery is $3.90 by Qexpress. 

Just too darn cute!

My Adsense Status

As a reborn new blogger, I thought it would interesting to earn some pennies via this blog. As such I applied for Adsense under the Blogger site when my blog was  very much still in its infancy.

As such, i just received an email below that state that my AdSense application status was not approved due to insufficient content.

Anyway I did a search online and discovered that it is common for Adsense to not approve new blogs and it could take a few attempts to get approval. In fact some took more than 10 tries before they got adsense on their site!

Oh well, back to the drawing board, will apply again when I have accumulate enough post content.

Anyway, the main objective of this blog is to harness my vast collections of home renovation/decor inspirations, build on those final ideas and then finally follow through on them.
