The living and dining room tour

 At last, it all coming together. After almost 7 months of house construction, its already on its final stretch. It's already coming and I'm so excited. So let me walk you through my abode.



I chose a camrose sofa. I want a very sleek sofa with narrow arms as not to waste space. I chose a light gray color to complement the wall color and my gray floors. Colorful throw pillows adorned this seating space as Christmas is around the corner. A small round side table with ottoman under makes this piece multi functional as this is table and a pull out ottoman to sit as well. A milk glass lampshade compliments the modern spanish theme while a modern floor lamp balances the old and new. The native ottoman highlights the space and make this room homey and relaxing. The two twin artwork just finished the look which was serene and relaxing. 


The 3 seater sofa was paired with a round center table on faux marble and metal legs. This matches the vintage side lamps and adds freshness and brightness to the space. On the left side of the living room is the stairs going to one of the bedrooms and the lofted family area which was adorned with beautiful metal and old baluster pieces. I love the view above this living room and the view of the living room from the family area. This is Instagram worthy that needs to be shared!


The middle of the living room is adorned by a simple chandelier that gives also a Spanish but modern vibe. The French door and the capiz with colored glass panel window completed the look of the space. I kept the space very minimalist as not to overpower the entertainment backdrop which was old woods arrange in diagonal patters. Blue and grays are the major color palette on this space.
A small vignette separates the living room and the dining room. The old machuca tiles greets the visitors as they enter the main door. A vertical metal door not only accents the space but also hides the staircase and the door leading to the toilet. A collection of Santa Claus is a sight to behold as it greets everyone and tell them that its Christmas.
The dining table is very ornate in wood carvings. A wooden glasstop dining table was paired with six very sleek solihiya high back chairs. A glam but modern chandelier also highlights the space and matches the mirror on the center of the dining room. Beautiful colored glass in yellow and blues gives additional color to the space especially in the afternoon. The rafters on the ceiling highlights this space as it makes the space longer and gave visual interests on the low ceiling.
A classic kitchen in browns and silver with turquoise blue backsplash gives color to the very earthy kitchen. Black appliances gives this room a modern touch. A wide and spacious hallway gives air and freshness to this kitchen. The transition from kitchen to dining table is great as the space is an open concept.

I am preparing the house for us to settle before Christmas. Ill be sharing you the bedroom tour once its completely set. But for now, enjoy my common areas.

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...

It started

 And it started a week ago. For whatever it may cost, I had started it. There's a lot of problems initially but i really wanted to focus on the goal as i know preparation takes more time and effort. 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.
