The New Living Room

Notice how the sofa was now change from tan to black. Actually from my previous blog, i really wanted to upholster it orange or red. But like i said i change my mind because i wanted it to be as neutral as possible. And i am very proud on how it turned out. Black is the new beige. The L-shaped sofa was a nice snatched for 8000 Php only. Adding pillows in different sizes and patterns add cozyness and color to the black and solid sofa.

The wooden side table was from the old round garden set which i had several years ago. A nice terracotta vase with twigs and artificial leaves are old accessories and were given by a friend.

The artworks on the right sides are just frames with printed pictures from the net. The large frame in the center is a find from local mall for just 4000 Php. The two artworks on its side are my own which i painted several years ago. I just had them framed for 700 Php per piece.

The old wooden chest as my coffeetable sits my favorite books and some of my buddha collections. A fresh cactus in a ceramic adds fresh element in the room.

The not expensive chandelier adorned the ceiling above. I love the solihiya patterned design on its blade as it exudes pinoy design.

The drapes are also cheap finds from a local store and compliments the color of the accent wall opposite the living room.

With this cheap finds, I made and design a living room that is budget friendly and beautiful at the same time. Everyone deserves a nice home and its attainable if we only knew how to mix and match things. It easy. All we need is a little imagination and were good to go.

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 ...

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...

I want to enjoy the process and I don't want to be stressed about it. I'm so excited and i cannot contain it.
