Different...Again!!!

Been wanting to have a new piece of furniture in the house to replace my existing two arm chairs. I was sketching for so many days to see the look that i want to achieve on my living room. I can say that i have a nice one already but its so cluttered. I think it needed some air, some space to breathe. I bought a very nice comfty sofa a few months ago but unfortunately, the sala set is too big for my living room. (Honestly, been thinking that i only needed the couch and the two single seater should be gone soon!). I also read in the magazine that sofa set is outdated, and the trend is to mix it with a totally different material. Well i have an idea but i dont know if it will fit very well and if it will be nice. My old sofa had gone so many places in the house trying every possible places to be perfect. But at the end of the day, big couch pushed on the wall with the two armchairs facing it.

This is the current lay out of the sofa. Though visitors are really appreciating my living room, i think it is only because that i made an effort to really match the curtains with throw pillow cases to make it comfty and inviting. But this was never my personality. The color was me but the lay was not.

So the solution is, to buy a new set of smaller chairs, of different material to match with my existing couch. It should be small and fit on the side. There should be no armrest and slightly wider than the normal dining chair. And since i am fond of hardwood, the chair should be one.

My mother is loving the new lay out. She said, this one is roomer, brighter and with character. I am so loving it also. I know that in the days to come i will add some more to make the space perfect.

I cant wait to end the month because i have many new things to put in there and i know it will be more inviting and fun as well!

The L shaped Sofa

An L shape sofa is a sofa that is literally designed in the shape of an L. It is designed like this for a number of reasons, and is a great choice for many different kinds of living rooms. Many people are buying L shaped sofas these days, in fact, for all of the benefits they offer. So, in case you have not been able to witness these benefits firsthand, here they are! First and foremost, an L shape sofa gives you more actual sitting room than does a regular sofa. Why? Well, because there is simply more of it to sit on! There is the main section (much like a normal couch), then, there is the elbow (a very relaxing spot to sit, I might add..), and the rest of the L on the end...which is usually the size of at least a small loveseat. And since there is so much room on these pieces to sit, you can fit a lot more people onto an L shaped sofa like this than you could on a regular sofa. The next benefit that an L shape sofa gives us is the benefit of being more affordable. Now, at this, you ...

For this month....

I am so excited to decorate my nest. Its been quite a while since my last blog, maybe because i am so busy for the past few months. Its not just blogging that i missed, also dressing my nest. For this month, i like to see my nest in blue, orange and green, the usual colors that i like. But this month is quite unusual, because i tend to lean on a musculine style, more toned down but colorful as well. Its just that i like to see my nest as subtle as it can be, with minimum decor, restive but colorful as well. Its my character, it defines my style, colorful as always. See how striking the picture is, and its colors...im so excited to use this color palette at home. I also found one big buddha at a local thrift store. Its so beautiful that i was eager to buy when i embraced it. You know the feeling that you are fit to each other, as if you are really meant to be. Thats what i felt when i embraced my new buddha. All in all, i have 16 pieces now at home. I know its an addict...

The Living Room Evolution...

Would you go for a distinct look?... Or something with comfort? Actually, the last pic was my new living room. Though i love the style of my old living room, with my hard wood japanese sofa, it compromise my need for comfort. Honestly, my mother is always complaining that the wood is so hard to sit in and was not too comfty. I bought the japanese sofa last November 2009 because im looking for a japanese themed living room, and voila, i found one and i know its a great deal. Ive been looking for the same kind for so long and this one is I thought perfect for the theme. Unfortunately, and by experience, i cannot last long sitting on the hardwood even if pillows are there for relieve, its just too hard and painful on the butt! So one time when i was in a mall just trying to look for a replacement, i saw this cream sofa made of real wood and leather. It was a perfect choice because it looks like the one in the 4th edition of real home living magazine, the color book which became my inspi...
