My After Christmas

Hey. Whats up. Ive been dying to tore down that Christmas spirit for no reason at all. Maybe because I know its over and I have to go back to my real world. Its not that I don't want the season, in fact, I cant wait each time. I decorated several months ago, I think way back October and so I have to start to unpacked earlier than most of the people on earth.

I don't know but I find myself leaning to blues and green this time. I see that I need to freshen up a bit. I need to start a new, and what a way to start to feel the fresh bloom of the flowers around.

I hated faux plant actually, but for some reason, I am starting to loved them. Maybe because I don't have the responsibility of taking care of real plants which I don't know if I still can. Its hard to maintain and heartbreaking to see its dying.

You see I still maintain the look. I also changed the side tables and go for a more minimalistic look. I guess my sofa is so heavy already to look at so I have to balance this out. I brought the two antique chairs to go with my bench. I love how its became more entertaining and casual too. Now the visitors will be talking face to face.
I still love the chest though, its a conversation piece that I cant live without. I also love the lampshade on the side which looks a little vintage also. It makes the room inviting once lit. Candelabras completed the look on each corner while two faux flower plants compliments the look of the coffee table. I also hanged a very simple curtain as I don't want to over power the room already.

Im glad how it turned out. Its a fresh start indeed.

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...

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...
