Blogs: Pamba Boma

Pamba Boma! I like that name. Try saying that 20 times, 8 times as fast.
While stalking my friends on facebook researching on local design blogs I came across Pamba Boma which is an interior design blog (how exciting eh?). According to their website, 'Pamba Boma' is Swahili for ‘decorate your home’*

Inspiration: Lucy Chadwick

Resisting temptation not to share this; failed. I have a girl crush on Lucy Chadwick, there, secrets out. It isn't often when someone with such impeccable style comes along and I instantly love it (like Garance) but when it happens I fall hard (resisting temptation to make a joke). I think I've watched this video 21 times now, which is excusable cause she's THAT cool. I hope when I grow up my life is this simple.

Safe House

So, lately Annie and I have been so busy with school (curse you pre-mocks!) which is eating away at blogging time. We tested out the dynamic view: for the first hour I liked then from then on it just went down the drain. Ooh and the title font changed too, the last one was a bit too grainy. One more thing Annie walked through a riot! Yes a flipping angry mob kind of riot! If you watched the local news last week, you probably the Kawangware riots that were going on outside our school! At the time I didn't have my camera but from the rooftop you could see everything and hear the chants, all of it. That has to be one of the most surreal things I've ever seen and I'm not even the one who had to walk through the chaos.

Moving on to today's post... For a long while now I've been interested in architecture. In fact I remember building forts and houses for my barbies with books and VCR's from back in the day. Though I've got mixed feelings about picking it up as a career, unless I could figure out how to manage studying fashion and architecture AND interior design...hmmm...
Anyway there's one house that spoke to the inner 12-year old boy in my head the last time I was looking at cabbagerose. If ever there were one of those apocalyptic viruses (like in Resident Evil) turning people into zombies (like in Resident Evil) this guy would be perfectly safe (like in Resident Evil) isn't that annoying?  Plus he's practically got a gargantuan TV screen AND a drawbridge to the pool, ahhh, awesome house is awesome!

The basic shape is quite simple really, it's just a steel cube, yet it manages to look so cool, if this house were a car on the Top Gear board thingy it would be in the sub-zero section.

On my mind

For everyone about to read this, brace yourselves! There's gonna be relentless, indecisive blabber throughout the rest of this post. Then again it would make me really happy if you continue.

There's no definite date yet but my family is moving!! Sure, technically we've been moving for the last year, but no no no, none of that talk anymore, or else. A month ago we chose the paints we wanted for our bedrooms but after about a day I changed my mind. At the time, I was all about experimenting with new things so I chose a really dark shade of an aqua like green colour* but this time I'm about 99% sure about what I want.

Lesson learned: painting your bedroom is like getting a tattoo, sorta. You're better off picking something you love.

Your making me really happy right about now :)

Among other drawings there has to be a doodle of my Scruffy on that wall, why? because there just does. I couldn't upload the drawing but that cute little bunny was the closest image to a puppy I could find.

I've needed a dress form for the passed two years, but where to get one?
Other than my love for everything Japanese or Masai, I'm in love with the Native American culture! Plus going to Spur as a kid and having a collection of Pocahontas-errthing only fueled that love more!

Ooh, and lastly my wardrobe. It's either going to be an open wardrobe, meaning no doors or there'll be glass on the doors (note to self, no more leaving clothes in huge messy piles). 

Happiness levels have sky-rocketed!! Congratulations you made it to the end! Well, unless you cheated and skipped the whole post till the end expecting some grand finish, START AGAIN YOU!

* I thinks it's official name is...Glatto? Glutton?...oh man I forgot....merde. Well forget that, I love how a deep fuschia would look in comparison, something close to that train thingy behind the girl in the center would be perfect as the primary colour.

PS: Seriously feeling like a loser right now because I completely forgot about the Man City vs Man United match studying away (oh A-level Physics, you hurt me so). Anyone else see it? Friends, we lost, 6 to 1. So much for those happiness levels.
