I've always been lukewarm about CNY decorations since we don't usually have anyone visit us at our place during this traditional season. Most likely, we'll be spending our time visiting our elders and relatives instead. However, I've been seized by a sudden spirit of carpe diem and decided that I'll do something special this time just for the fun of it.
Lovely chinese knots to hang at our doors
A different knot for the bookshelves
I saw this cute lion tissue box cover
while I passed by NTUC and I simply
couldn't resist getting it!
Decor at our door
This typical CNY word tells us the story of Genesis.
Happiness or blessing (福) is what the first person (一 口 )
Adam found in the garden (田) of Eden with God (礻).
It was tough getting a matching set of cushion covers and table cloth the same color scheme (red and black) as the chandelier decoration which was the only thing that was left of the past CNYs. Thankfully I found something suitable eventually but it was a little more expensive than I would have liked. But I figured I'll reuse the decor for many years to come anyway so I'll treat it as an investment. I wonder if anyone will bother visiting our home during CNY afterall... :P
