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 I also read in the magazine that sofa set is outdated, and the trend is to mix it with a totally different material.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!

Make Me Home No.4

Welcome to Make me Home edition 4. Weve been doing the dining, living and kitchen already and i guess its proper to feature a bedroom as well. This time, i want to feature a bedroom which is so typical to a filipino setting where the bedroom is shared by siblings. It is a common fact that due to limited space and budget, room sharing is an option to a modest family. Though privacy may be a little bit of a problem when sharing a space, intimacy and healthy relationships can be strengthen by sharing a room with someone who are dear to us. This room may be bit of a challenge for me. When i saw the room, i thought, a bed with a pull out will definitely solve the small space problem. But, its kinda ackward for someone to sleep on the pull out right? In fact, sleeping in a pull out is just an option for a sleep overs. It will be greater and even righteous to give a bed to everyone so they can have a space of their own. So i envisioned a "chic retreat style" for this bedroo

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

La Residencia Almar...my home in Dumaguete

This is La Residencia Almar in Dumaguete City where i stayed for six nights. Actually, this is my second time to stay in this hotel because i was here last year. I opted to stay again in this hotel because i love the view in its front and it is smaller than the usual hotel located in Dumaguete. In front of the hotel is the famous Dumaguete Boulevard where a lot of people, local and tourist gather every morning and at night to see the majestic view of the sea. But what makes me desire to stay once again is tits beautiful interior, a Balinese theme which i always love in every home. The nice lighting fixture greeted me as I enter the hotel. This is spectacular especially at night. I love the simple but colorful detail at the base of the chandelier. The nuetral paint, with mostly beige, white and brown accentuated by several niches where an old jars are kept in display, trimmings and wooden pieces makes me think that I am in an old world retreat but never forgetting the asian herit
