My New but Old Living Room

You see, I again for the nth time disposed my sofa set, the wicker one. Actually my friend wants it and given the opportunity to have a new look on my home, I gave in. So I was left with my old sitting pieces and I was amazed that I still have the complete living room set up even if the wickered sofa was gone. So let me share with you my living room now.

I love how it actually looks now. I love that it highlights my wooden pieces and how coherent it is with my antique theme. The biggest piece, a three seater wooden sofa was given a softer look by bringing in some pillows and upholstery. Again, the centerpiece is my narra chest which is an antique from a flea shop in Makati. I love when the lampshade was lit up to bring warm and coziness to the area.

This is another view with a closer look at my sofa. I am glad that I chose that transparent lamp as not to cramp the space. The native bean bags are tucked underneath the sofa in case anyone wants to use it. Again, the only thing placed on my narra chest is my Nino which is the center of the season. The side table which is a Chinese end table is a nice addition. Displayed on the wall is my personal art to give the space my personal touch. Now, I am not planning to change the look of it because im proud of how I maintained the look, no one will noticed that I let go of my seating pieces because it still is one gorgeous living room.

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 ...

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...

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...
