I'm back with lots of DIY projects! First up is Chupi's nursery

I've been away from the blog for what feels like ages. I am so sorry, I didn't mean to be away for that long... time just flew and before I knew it weeks have passed.

The good thing about this is that I have managed to finish a lot of DIY projects and I will be posting them all these coming weeks and I finished Chupi's room.
Here is a quick preview of how it turned out.

The two IKEA Rast dressers ended up keeping their original pullers (see the previous post here for the original thought of adding Asian style pullers and more Rast DIY inspiration)
The Ikea rug I painted is a great colour adition and breaks up all the red really well (the original post on painting the rug is here)
The knitted monster travel pillow that I made for Chupi for using with our baby carrier was awesome during our 2 week trip to Sweden and Belgium in July. The 20 hour trip from Hong Kong to Sweden would have been impossible without it and a huge knitted blanket that I brought. She is still supposedly small enough to sleep in those travel baskets that the airlines provide, but that's according to the airline, not Chupi. She would not stop crying when we tried to put her to sleep in it (during the Easter trip she slept just fine in there but then she was only 3 months, now she was 7 months). So she ended up sleeping on top of me which made me completely immobile during most of the flight. Thank god for that extra little pillow and blanket to create some padding. 

I will be posting more detail photos of the nursery soon, so don't forget to check back later.
