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 ...

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...
