I am so excited to have been published in this Taiwanese magazine. I have no idea what it says, but they did an awfully fun job of laying it all out. The magazine is called Do It Yourself, and I am trying to find out more about where it can be found in bookshops and online. DIY is published every two months in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China about hand made accessories and home decoration. The theme of the July DIY issue in which my apartment will appear is : My sweet home, my happy life style. I'm so happy to be a part of it! Here's a sneak peek...
Very cool V. Such clean and modern looking layouts.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Taiwan text beautiful?

ReplyDeleteLori
Both the layout and home look beautiful - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat's so neat! It says a lot of good stuff about how lovely your place is.But the title is "Transformation of an old house" With the subtitle saying "A living nest for a modern artistic lady" It's written in Traditional Chinese text. Overall it talks about how you salvage and embraces vintage things to create a modern chic interiors. I can translate the whole thing, but will be long...:P
ReplyDeleteBut it talks about the history of the building, what you do, and everything great about your place! so don't worry, they didn't say anything bad. I checked :D
if you really want me to translate the whole thing, let me know.
