Im Loving Rachael Ray

  My sister was back to my house for a few months now. She transferred all her things from the apartment to my house. I was telling her to dispose all of the things that she got but unfortunately, she cannot let go of her bed. Since i occupy the biggest room in the house, her bed was transferred on my room making my room a little cramped and unfinished. I had a 48 inch bed before which is just enough for my size. Now i have a queen size bed making my tossing and turning more easier. But I'm not liking the look. I still want my own smaller bed and I'm missing it so much.  I decided to make over my bedroom into a more fresh and vacation-like look. I want it to be vibrant and cool at the same time. So i opt to paint it turquoise not only because it is for a coastal look but it was actually my birth color.  Here is the top view on my room. Look how small the space on the side of my bed. I painted this using the cool water of the Rain or Shine paint and I'm loving the c

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

I happen to have an ample time to do some picture taking of the house as i was home alone during the week. I would like to share to you my humble abode... This is my dining area. I guess i need to work this out because its still unfinished to me. I know i have to add something to make it more interesting. The chairs should go and to be replaced with a native one and a built ins seating on the side. The table top will remain but the base should also go. I do not intend to replace the lighting fixtures because i love the lights as it gives me more clean look and more japanese look on the space. This is my small kitchen. I know its a mess but at least this was utilized and used kitchen and not only for display. A lot are going on especially on counter tops but this is all about organizing and housekeeping. I love the cabinetry. My love for orange and greens are evident on the space. It gives a nice citrusy feel to it and color splash to the room. This is the transition from th

This is what it looked like when i am starting to build a nice dwelling. The walls are neutral with pops of green and orange color which was my personal choice. Since I'm addicted to a Japanese design, a simple Japanese sofa highlighted the space. I believe I'm a lover of Japanese things as they fascinate me always, so i opted to design the interior of the house and made it into an Asian theme. The floor lamps and the native bean bag accessorize the space. The curtains and the artworks serves as an accent, with matching pillows that ties the color combination. After reading a lot of design magazines, i opted for a more bold color choice as i painted the room blue. I also get tired of the Japanese sofa and bought a more relaxed and comfty seat. The Japanese sofa was now placed outdoor for my garden. With the blue themed room, the living room was more contemporary and more homey but with a touch of Asian as well. Nice blue accents in different shades and tints were making
