JAKARTA FINDS ✽ Roemah Roepa
I’ve always been intrigued by this cluster of shops in Kemang, just around the bend on Kemang Selatan. But I always forget to go there on my way to Cayenne, coming from KOI.

Check out what I added after the jump!

I have to balance it out with round elements. Click here to see how we balanced out our Manila dining room (which was full of straight lines) with a round capiz drop lamp.
