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...

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 nev...
