i need blinds

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments

I need real blinds soon.  The ones hanging on my windows are temporary blinds made of paper.  And they’re getting dirty.  I can’t wash it because it’s paper.  Oh well, when I bought them I knew they wouldn’t last long. What I need is wooden blinds that would match the interior of my home.  [...]

a month of celebration

May 7th, 2009 · No Comments

Our place is currently a disaster.  It is overflowing with a lot of knickknacks and stuff from the former apartment.  I have given most of my things to people but I still have boxes filled with “my stuff”.  I’m on a mission to put something together so that when you enter our unit, there’s a [...]

storage boxes

May 5th, 2009 · No Comments

Have you noticed how almost all storage boxes and bins are made of plastic?  That’s why it took weeks before I actually got my place tidied up.  I had a hard time looking for storage boxes that are both pretty and useful.  Good thing I found ethnic storage boxes from Indian Home Decor.  And they [...]

inside my room
I’ve started to fix the place a bit.  I have some of the books in their proper places and the LCD and DVD are now out of the box.  I just realized that I won’t be taking all my books with me.  The unit just can’t hold that [...]

March 13th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Buy of the month, and it’s only March.  This Alice Blue soy candle has been on my long list of must-haves for the house but I can’t seem to remember to pass by their kiosk everytime I go to Trinoma.  But today I did, obviously.  I love it.  The scent I chose is Orange Clove [...]

still moving forward

March 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I’m still struggling a bit to get over the feeling of not finishing the tasks I had set out for last week.  I realize in the scheme of things it’s not THAT big of a deal, but after spending so many sleep-deprived nights struggling to get things ready for what was supposed to happen, it’s [...]

my bookshelves turned into everything shelves

January 18th, 2009 · 5 Comments

This was the original design for my bookshelves.  I wanted it kinda random or uneven and not the usual formal bookshelves you see in most houses and furniture stores.

And here’s the actual bookshelves now.  But with a bit of difference.  There’s now that huge space for a television and some of the holes have lights [...]

i love these

January 9th, 2009 · 11 Comments

…on my wall. I don’t know why I’m obsessing with my wall these days. It’s my contractor’s fault. He gave me a deadline on my wall’s color scheme. I have until Sunday to think it over. I’m going for white so all the paintings, print and photos I’ll place there [...]
