New Year calls for New Things

if i could take a time off (let's say, a month or two) i would really really want to (1) design furniture pieces (2) finish all the rooms in my house - not to mention, my niece's princess room, which she has been asking me for weeks now - maybe she got the idea that "i do make houses" (coming from her 4yrs of age) since she always sees me drawing for the past 2 and half years (3) do an office makeover - so i could reorganize my thoughts better.

in the meantime, this is where i left off my parent's room (which i haven't touched for 4 months now)...

 

painted the walls green, changed the bed. 

 

retro vibe.  

i'm really praying that my upcoming projects will turn out good *prays hard*... too much coffee in my system is making me the most nervous/worried person you could ever meet! while my sister always tell me, i should take everything into experience and practice... i should really learn how to CHILL :)

anyway, have a blessed sunday everyone! i'm making the most out of this rainy weather to just sleep and do nothing! :) rest day!

Places: Ocean Bliss Spa

so i mentioned about the Mediterranean-Chic SPA my cousin & sister - which she designed herself too - put up mid this year, named Ocean Bliss Spa. It's located in our hometown, Santiago City, Isabela... (too bad I don't get to enjoy it here in Manila!  i only get my pampering whenever I go home to visit :)

 

the Lobby. 

yeah, that's my niece, we're inseparable every time i'm home :)

 

the Massage Hallway.

inspired by Santorini, notice the wood-slatted ceiling, arched doors, and rustic wall finishes.

 

seashells by the seashore.

DIY corkboard for announcements, etc.

 

Foot Spa area.

with our reupholstered French loveseat :)

 

Massage Area

Dusit Thani's Family Tree in PDI

surprised to see the tree we made for the Llamas Family in the Philippine Daily Inquirer's (Nov. 27 ish) front page :)

merry purple christmas

so my cousin did a pretty good job finishing the tree i started :) 

 

we exchanged emails along the way, and was happy with the end result 

(cos she was on panic mode doing it alone/installing those Christmas lights lol)

 
... i think its even better than what i hoped it would be :)
she really did a good job! :)

bedtime eye-candy

the problem with being an insomniac is that you're suddenly used to sleeping during the morning, and think that 2am is still early for bedtime.

my case now.

and as usual, i surf the web for inspirations... :)

and as posted in my previous  posts, i'm currently obsessed with mid-century + industrial + chic look. i don't know, but for some reason they look sooo appealing to me right now :) (or maybe because everyone is so into shabby chic/french provincial lately, that i'm a little over them after applying it in my own bedroom). mmm... i don't know
anyway :)

mid-century designer/collector's items :)
