Initial Stage...Bedroom Makeover

 
My sister was back to my house for a few months now. She transferred all her things from the apartment to my house. I was telling her to dispose all of the things that she got but unfortunately, she cannot let go of her bed. Since i occupy the biggest room in the house, her bed was transferred on my room making my room a little cramped and unfinished. I had a 48 inch bed before which is just enough for my size. Now i have a queen size bed making my tossing and turning more easier. But I'm not liking the look. I still want my own smaller bed and I'm missing it so much. 
I decided to make over my bedroom into a more fresh and vacation-like look. I want it to be vibrant and cool at the same time. So i opt to paint it turquoise not only because it is for a coastal look but it was actually my birth color.
 Here is the top view on my room. Look how small the space on the side of my bed. I painted this using the cool water of the Rain or Shine paint and I'm loving the color. Unfortunately my camera setting was on a vibrant color so the color clings on the greener one. The color is actually blue with a tinge of green.
 Here is the front view. Notice the artworks above the bed. This artworks were properly secured for my safety. I chose blue printed sheets.
Here is the side view. I installed the old bamboo window panel for a more relaxed and cool look. Now the look is starting to be coastal.
I'm planning to install ceiling fan to cool the room in case i need to turn off the A/C. I'm thinking of black ceiling fan for my coastal look. I believe woods are overwhelming already because of my bed frame and i believe choosing a neutral one will compliment the intricate pattern of my headboard.
I am planning to install built ins as a headboards and additional shelving unit and storage. I know it will make my room smaller but i need those to display my collections and to hide the unsightly conditioning unit.
I am appreciating the intricate pattern of the wood carving on my bed. Its very tropical at the same time. It also matches my wood trim at the ceiling.
You can absolutely gage how small the space now. I do believe that i can still work this out and think of the possibilities on how will i maximize the room with such limited space.
I really like to have my citronella lamp near my bed as the scent really relaxes me and prevent the mosquito from roaming around. I also have lavender scent in case i need to have another smell but right now, I'm so addicted to the citronella smell scented oil.
I placed the tall and narrow cabinet to cover the A/C units breaker and outlet. I have a plan to visually hide my air conditioning unit as it is now considered as an eyesore.
The other side was painted coral as it matches or compliments the turquoise color of the other wall. It gives additional punch of color. My next job is to install additional display shelves above the bed (again) as i have many knick knacks to display as i am planning to incorporate my collections on the overall theme of my room. I am planning to finish the makeover before Christmas as my gift for myself.

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...
