The Good Interiors

Saturday, September 05, 2009

My brother just informed me that we would be renovating the house soon. We would be sharing the bill of course and the changes would be really major that it would not just be the walls to be torn down but the whole house. Yes, my brother is thinking of creating a 4 floor house from the current 2 that we have. This is not a joke!

I am probably going to spend more on interiors and will probably wipe out my savings. But I guess since this is my home I would probably be better off paying for it because of the fact that I live here. I probably would be here for the rest of my life.

Designing the interior should only get a few inside because we both adore the modern minimalistic look. With that in mind, we would need to get our old hand me downs and get better modern dining tables, chairs and cabinets too. I looked at some web sites but only a few came up with the best Italian designs. We used to have an all wood dining set but the season calls for modern metal dining furniture. I guess we are on a good start, but I have to make plans where to get the rest of the finances that is going to this huge project. We would need to also get a condominium and vacate the place we are in. Construction starts late this year so wish us luck!

You Are All I Need!

Friday, May 29, 2009


We also have a house in TAGAYTAY City that we have to furnish. With the current financial crisis hitting us and everybody else in the world, I would not be surprised if we would have a hard time doing it. My brother is filthy rich and he would probably get the property filled up by the end of the year. Modesty aside my folks and I should probably also step up and get the major pieces we need for the vacation house we dreamed of. I am mostly an Oak - woodsy type of person and that is one thing I am looking for in design. I got catalogues from the best ones in the industry and some of them are not as par. Here I go relying again on the Internet to get what I want, so I clicked a couple of sites and found one exactly for the DINING ROOM FURNITURE I need.



I will probably get the one that is in the price range of about $1500 to $2000. Maybe if we are to get shipment costs lower, this would really be feasible. Then after that, my brother could probably pick up some other architectural pieces that would compliment what we have planned for the home. It is colder there, but it would be nice to get acquainted with that kind of weather when summer comes. That is just a great idea!

Thinking About Your Kids Furniture

Thursday, January 22, 2009

When I was a kid, there were only a few things I needed at home to get me taken cared of. I did not have the luxury of having my own room at that time because nurseries were never thought of in the Philippines at that time. Most babies stay at their parent's room so neither dad or mom would actually wake up in the middle of the night and pat the baby to sleep. That was just really not the norm in this side of the world. I was not aware of the culture then in the US where almost every baby would get their own prepared room and own set of furniture as most interior design shows now dictates. There are also themes for every kid to enjoy so it would not be that boring room in the house nobody wants to stay in. They make an effort to make it appealing to the eyes of the kid as much as possible because it stimulates brain growth. Although, I did not turn out that bad anyway ha-ha!


There were some that used designer furniture and some that used inexpensive ones. It was harder to get those things shipped over every state possible then because the logistics are just too expensive. Now in the age of online shopping, getting that dresser, bookcase, day beds or nightstands became easier as communication became cheaper and faster. This kids furniture became easier to procure even now that more stores are offering bigger discounts to choose from. You should check out what you need online and I'm sure you'll get what you need. Christmas just ended anyway and it's possible your godfather and godmother would probably get you what you want right?
