Progress Update

I like using this blog to update on the progress of my projects (also something to do while waiting for my 3D files to render). You see, some projects takes a long time to finish... so I take as much photos of the progress instead, to see how each is progressing.

Anyway, this particular one is for the bedroom renovations I've done in an old townhouse in New Manila. We only did the two bedrooms (and bath) since we had a very limited time to work with (during the kid's summer break). We are still not done with some furniture since my client wants to shop for themselves :)


SHARED BEDROOM
(for a seven and nine year old girls :)

 {BEFORE}
 The curtains there holds as a barrier for the air-conditioner since it is placed in front of the beds. We can't relocate it anymore since there is a builder's regulation, and we're not allowed to tear anything structurally that may affect the facade of the house. I've posted my perspective for this room here, and this is what's happening :)

Note that the beddings, actual curtains, and new furniture/ sofa bed hasn't arrived yet in this photo.
This was not in the perspective, but we added a divider wall on the left side of the room to limit once again, the air-conditioner blow. 
Finally installed the built-in study desk for two girls, which i'm really excited to style soon!

BATHROOM
 BEFORE & AFTER

We re-tiled everything from floor to ceiling, and since my client wants an almost all-white bathroom interior, I played with the ceiling, lighting and patterns of tiles instead :) 


SINGLE BEDROOM
(for a fourteen year old girl :)

This is the smaller of the two rooms, so we decided to make it into the achie's (or oldest's) bedroom. Its cute that all three girls almost have the same tastes in interiors, so when achie saw the alcove for the two girls, she also wants for herself :)

Note that the beddings, actual curtains, and new furniture/chair hasn't arrived yet in this photo.
I have to say, as much as I want to veer away from alcoves for now (since I've done it quite a few times in my perspectives already - will show in the future), its still one of my favorite elements! And some of my clients would still ask for the exact same thing in their home - so I just make sure to edit. 

 The wallpaper and custom-made shelf/desk are some of my favorites here :)

BATHROOM
 AFTER 

I didn't took a before photo of the bathroom here since I know we will change everything from floor to ceiling (it pretty much looks like the same as the other two girl's bathroom).
Again, since they wanted their bathroom interior to be all-white, I just played around with the textures and ceiling :)
 
All bathrooms have their closets installed inside. Still waiting for the shower glass dividers to be installed, the mirror is temporary (re-used the old one) for now.

I'm just waiting for some of the furniture they made/ordered, so I'll show you again once its finally done :)

Feature: Real Living May 2013

for Real Living Ph's May 2013 issue, i helped styled & contribute for the Decor Ideas section - Become a Mix Master. It's all about mixing store-bought pieces with thrift items, something that I loved doing for a while in my own space :) and thankfully, I was able to find furniture pieces that can match some items that i have been collecting for a while, and yes, its a breather to style something rustic & old for a change :)


 


(i didn't know we would be doing a 5-page feature and that i would be included in the set-up so sorry nalang for my #hulas outfit, hair and makeup! lol)

Feature: Good Housekeeping May 2013

Recently, Good Housekeeping Magazine contacted me if they could feature my room for their Good House section - with some tips on how to redecorate your bedroom on a budget. Of course, mine fits in the topic cos I can't/ don't want to spend too much on my own (space) since I might change the theme again in a year or two. LOL - nothing will be ever permanent. Too bad, the other side of my room wasn't shown, cos that's where most of the "new stuff" went :)

Commercial Project: Chesca

don't you just love looking at Before & After pictures like this? :)

The aftermath, which still lacks minor details like visual merchandising, window display, brand logo at the back of the counter, graphic coated glass, and brand's new merchandise for the brand's rebranding.

Commercial Project: Total - Convenience Store

So here's one of the most recent projects of PTC designed by my sister, Pao Tan.

It's an independent slash private convenience store located in Santiago City, Isabela. Pao conceptualized and designed the interior as well as the exterior of the place (and also the toilet located just outside the establishment). And since its privately owned, and not really a franchise of TOTAL, she and the owner are free to change the details - and both agreed with modern/ minimalist - which is a breather from your regular convenience store :)

Anyway, tucked in the fields where most people go for jogging is this:

 
The toilet.

 Display area.
 At night.
 Lounge area. (This hasn't been filled with books yet.)
Notice the architectural details.

Summer 2013

i haven't updated this blog for a while, probably cos i don't like talking much about a project i'm currently working with and sugarcoat the details (lol). and the same goes with doing 3d perspectives - i like freehand sketch or doodles better because making 3d's takes a lot of my time and limits my creativity -.-

anyway, it was a fun, busy summer and finally, FINALLY all plans has been approved, and these ones are ready to go! :)

 Residential Project
The Grove, Rockwell

Concept: Minimalist Industrial & Modern
***

 Commercial Project
Shangrila Mall

Concept: Parisian Boudoir
***

Residential Project
New Manila

Concept: Contemporary


my only goal is to make everything look better in actual, cos honestly, i'm not a fan of perspectives - it totally destroys the "surprise" factor (lol) #totallymeantit and yeah, aside from that, enjoy summer while working :) blessed and thank you Lord!
