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.

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
