What Home Means To Me (Pin it Forward)

Posted on by Hijiri

As I mentioned before, lovely Victoria from sfgirlbybay and pinterest team are launching an another great event called “pin it forward” today and I couldn’t be more proud to be the one of the first 10 bloggers to start!

and the theme is “What home means to me” — and here is my pinboard…

I realized since I moved to NYC and started my own freelance work, home became not only sleep, relax, cook and eat, but also work and create. Be inspired and imaginative. Be creative and innovative.

(Craft nook via you are my fave)

Also, as I have lots of collection of things, which make me happy, think and remember, home means where I keep all my favorite things, display them in my own way and enjoy.

and never ending quest to me… Always looking for the perfect something for the home… and I enjoy that process, and when you do find something that you love, how great the feeling is and you get to live with it!

and the list goes on and on… please see more at my pinboard! I think I will keep adding more since home means A LOT to me, I would never be done with my board… :)

Thomas Paul Plates and Trays

Posted on by Hijiri

I have been eyeing for Thomas Paul’s beautiful trays and plates… they are all so lovely. I think I want to hang them on my new dining room wall. (I must keep packing before I buy anything for the new home, though. Can’t wait to be done!)

These Luddite series are my favorite!

Before We Pack Boxes…

Posted on by Hijiri

I wanted to take some pictures of our current living room area. (For those of you who may not know… we are moving to a loft in DUMBO this May!) We switched our room so this used to be our office room, but it’s been working out good. I think I will miss this exposed brick wall… it’s such a cool thing to have!

The artwork is done by our good friend, Niq. It was a wedding gift to us and we quite like the piece and to have it in our living area.

This black and white area was never finished, I feel like… oh well… next apartment!

We will have bigger space so we’re going to get a bigger couch — can’t wait! (it’s been pretty tight in this tiny couch for both of us + Maia the dachshund)

Yes, we have a lot of vinyls… most of them are Randy’s, some of them are mine. I so wanted to get this, but it was too late… it would have been perfect for us.

I really wanted to turn this area a dining area, but it didn’t happen… (too tiny anyway) — We’re going to have a dining area in the loft, I can NOT wait! I have been so wanted a dining area forever!

*the OBEY poster is the one that Shepard Fairey was putting up on the street wall in San Francisco back in 1998.

OK, now we really have to start packing… wish us luck! :)

Found Type: DUMBO + New Loft

Posted on by Hijiri

I have been going over to DUMBO a lot lately… (you’ll see why later) Always so cool to be in the neighborhood, I find so many inspirations… I wanted to share some found type on the historical brick buildings this morning because they are just so special and great looking!

and…. I will be seeing these coolness and inspirations everyday starting on May 1… Yes, we just signed a lease at the loft space in DUMBO! We are so excited, can’t wait to start living this area and explore more!

Here is a little sneak peek of the new loft. I’m sure I will be talking about it a lot more… I need lots of room inspirations, new furniture… so stay tuned! :)

Happy Friday, everyone! xo
