if you're a big fan of ikea and diy, ikeahacker can offer you inspirations on how you can customize those mass-produced ikea accessories or furnishings and make it your own! just to list some of my favourites:
sabrina's bedroom vanity make-up is made easy now even if your room is as dim-lit as mine! wouldnt it be great to have such a dressing table?
another favourite: how to revamp that captain's bed? before
after
in all honesty, i actually like it even before the revamp! even though it looks rather messy, i thought it's more of an organized mess.
on another note, with so many housewarming parties to look forward to in 2008 and people revamping their rooms, (recall thefadgirl's room?)
wouldnt it be great to share your lil corner with us? be a gracious host and send us a picto of any nice spot at your house, or anywhere, to team.fad@gmail.com!
True to the promise of striving to be a cosmopolitan city of culture and arts, we're seeing the spurting of festivals everywhere in Singapore, all year round. It was not long ago that the Fad people featured the Singapore Design Festival. (Absolutely fantastic, in my opinion.) And now, Singapore will soon be treated to the Fringe Festival 2008:
An annual festival of theatre, performance art, film, dance, visual arts, mixed media, music and forum created and presented by Singaporean and international artists.
Theme this year: ARTS&HISTORY. From: 16 to 27 January
The organisers are being very PR-savvy by making the coverage job a breeze for media. On the main website of Singapore Fringe Festival, we find an all-rounded assortment of useful info, from event details to logo downloads to blog address (not updated since, but it will soon be, as the festival kicks off, I believe.) and even a Facebook discussion group.
One down-site to all these - pun intended, is the less-user-friendly navigation due to the flash application (pardon my tech-geek side emerging). Nevertheless, if you're an ardent supporter of performance art et al, or you're always on the lookout for something new to do/see/experience in Singapore, be sure to give the website a look-see and make it to the festival! I, for one, am quite taken with "The Complaints Choir Project".
