Give me tropicals...

Hey guys, its been a while since I last updated my blog. It seems that im pre occupied with so much video blog these past few days and I totally forgot to make updates on my blog. But here I go again, wanting to write and share what im into right now.

Actually, I was inspired by Mylene Dizons house that's why I opt to change the look of my space. I created a mood board so that I will be guided on what I really wanted to achieve.

This mini makeover wont need new furnitures since I think I can pull out the inspiration using my existing furniture. What only missing is a low table that can act as a two seater bench and voila, I just happen to find one and its made of narra wood and perfect for what I envisioned.

As said, I will be using my existing three seater gallinera chair. Im so inloved with this seat and honestly, this is what I dreamt off. Its so vintage, classic and elegant. And of course wooden sofa wont looked so hard if there are pillows to accentuate it. Im planning to put layers of pillows to soften the look. A yellow and green pillows, with a tropical vibe is perfect for the space. Wood and tropical design are always perfect match.

I also have a chest box which serves as coffee table. Its also made up of narra and an antique one. Im planning to put yellow vases and a terrarium on top of it. This will be an interesting centerpiece.

In front of it, I will place my two seater narra bench with tropical inspired pillows on top of it to soften the look and make it more comfortable. A potted plant over a pile of coffee table book will also be perfect on the end of the bench.

And to create a cozy and romantic vibe, an identical antique milk glass table lamp will be placed on the side table matching the gallinera seat for extra lighting and will give warm glow to the space at night.

A simple rug will anchor the space and will be visually appealing to the eye. A leaf pattern or geometric pattern in green color will surely add freshness to the space.

And a sheer white curtain will be added to give it an airy and refreshing look. This will tone down the over all look as the pattern on the rug and pillows are too busy enough.

The over all look is a tropical resort inspired look that will not only make the space relaxing, but colorful as well.

I will be posting the final look very soon.

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 ...

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 th...

Creating a Summer Look

Since its month end and before the summer ends (though as noticed, temperatures keep rising as we approach the supposedly raining months), i decided to upgrade the look of my place. In fact, this is so much anticipated not just because i really wanted a summer look (which is inspired by the last edition of real living magazine) but because were celebrating mothers day and my mothers birthday. And i would like to say that this inspiration is a tribute to my mom who little by little is adjusting to my new found passion on house decorating. As noticed, i already incorporated my flea market finds on my nest. The native drums, candelabras and two garden set stool which became my side tables are now part of my design. The old artworks are still there. I managed to blend in my old pieces, those that i already have in my new color scheme. In fact, this were my considerations before i chose the blues over the creams as wall color. I made it sure that my old pieces will never be outdated or out...
