Restoration Hardware

Been loving this company ever since - sooo CLASS - but its quite funny cos their peg is very similar to one local store here in Manila (w/c ilove too) - Restoration! Anyway, was psyched to see some (very similar) accessories at Canton Fair before, and if only i'd win the lottery... id probably ship in almost all the items too! :)

Forever loving these tripod floor lamps... Its so old hollywood!

Again, the sack-pillow cases!

These chandeliers reminds me of some adventure slash fantasy movies

My current obsession - vintage trunks!

blogpress: and colors

Ive been trying since late last night posting through my ipad (which took forever - no flash player is such a downer!) and so far, blogpress (paid app) seems to be working! This is just a trial post, so yeah, whatever! enjoy the colors! :)



Source: elledecoration magazine :) i just renewed my subscription (online & press) for Elle Decoration US (so far, i find it so much better than Elle US)... Anyway, i print-screen the page for the color of the year pantone :) doesnt it look delish? - in a retro vibe kind of way :)

These dressers that are so damn SEXY! :)

I've been sourcing for weeks now, and how i wish i could get all the colors/ prints/ furniture parts/ even flea finds, as easy as i see them online/ or even craiglist! Manila s*cks this way :/ everything is so identical/ uniform / if not, overpriced! *sigh*

anyway, let this BV go away :)

bedrooms :)

while i initially wanted to sync my ipad w/ my mac - which took forever btw, i got stuck browsing & posting once again! :) but its good, saving more mood boards never been better!

 

i think the letter trend is here to stay! i just love the mix of classic furniture and contemporary accessories here :) 

 

who knew graphical/ skeletal structures can be sexy? :) monochromatic and styling at its best!

 

ive forever been looking & staring at furry throws - which i can't afford btw, but look how it could always make a room so cozy and warm *sigh*

mid century - is totally making a comeback! i'm diggin!

CNY 2012

yup, its the Chinese New Year! :) and while we totally forgot to buy those lucky fruits/ wear polka dots/ and had a grand feast (we're planning to do it tomorrow, not the CNY eve - we're Christians anyway :), and trying to contemplate on things i wish to accomplish during the year of the Dragon, i'm  just dropping by to post some (random) things that's keeping un-sane lately lol.

(1) cute head caps for my ipad/iphone.
bought lots of these from our recent trip in Taiwan, its soo asian - i know- but i dont care :)

(2) aren't these magnetic donuts so adorable :) i'm currently using this in my magnetic chalk board :) the down side is, its keeping me hungry most times when i ran out of groceries :/

(3) finally had my lamps and these cupcake-candle holders i bought on impulse in good use! when there was a temporary loss of electricity in our village :)

(4) dog is pimping! - way of organizing my leather bracelets :)

Saki - my adopted (from lil brother) pet :)

and lastly, DREAM and never give up :)

have an awesome week everybody!

Update: My Bedroom

so it's the New Year! and I changed my bedroom theme to a more contemporary + eclectic mood - from its usual shabby chic theme. my inspiration this time is - Twiggy and the British flag (as seen from my previous post :) since i promised to at least finish my room after graduation (as a gift to myself) and i'm now 95% satisfied :)

 just added a bit of furniture like this shelf, since my books/magazine are starting to pile up like crazy! and also moved this really lovely chair (i got from my aunt & had reupholstered), since i haven't given it any good justice beside my bed :)
some furniture details: (1) coffee table (2) office side desk (3) rocking stool

less pinwheels this time :) lucky to have scored these metal frames and rustic metal C (for my first name) at some local store.

along with these other things that are DIY - potential. (1) for a lamp (2) wooden horse - as a bookend or lamp base if my mood strucks (3) cardboard book/storage

 the finished lamps :)

new furniture: storage for my printer and office stuff :)

left: i edited my dividers and customized a cork board and magnetic chalk board.

new furniture: bench with canvass cushion and baskets. i really want to print a British flag on this canvass, but im still figuring out ways how to :) also, the fillings on this cushion are actually the bean balls i recycled from our exhibit - recycle much, and sorry for the crappy styling (ie. bench cushion, messy table, etc) in this photo :)

and oh, my room will be one of the bedrooms featured in Real Living's March 2012 issue :) #excited! i wasn't really renovating my room for show, it started as a stress-buster from too much plates and sleepless nights, so i'm really glad that people come up to me and ask if they could feature mine in publication *beams* thank you! :)

with the creative team of Real Living Magazine :)

have a Blessed week everyone :)

xoxo

currently loving.

one of my New Year's Resolution is to blog less, so i could work more...

so before that, i'm making these random posts :)

i need to get my hands on Windsor Chairs now!

would really really want to incorporate these french windows slash divider

twiggy and the British flag = LOVE

i just looove this craft room! :)

Features: Exhibit. Updated.

ever since the opening of the PSID Exhibit : Oct 2011, i kinda moved on with the project that i wanted to do something new again! lol. i'm happy with the result but i think too much time during construction and styling made me umay in a way.#confused 

i guess its just like Cooking - once you're done with the dish, you just want to watch people's reaction and never eat much of it. anyway, i know..... im not making any sense (i just had coffee at 10pm - was sleepy the whole day!) 

but looking back at the magazine features we had from December 2011 and having received the

PSID Alumni's Choice Award, 

Overall Best Booth, and People's Choice Awards...

i must say, i'm very much ecstatic + happy + relieved. we weren't aiming for any rewards then, so we we're surprised to receive 3 Awards during graduation :)

anyway, here are the updates:
