Home Decorating and Designing

Recently, I'm contemplating what decoration and makeover I would like to set up in my new home. Surely, when I arrived in the Philippines, I can only see my newly built house but needs interior designing and decorating. Oh, No! Do I still got a budget for this? I can't afford to hire interior decorator and definitely, I will never hire. Hahaha! Assuming (Ano ako mayaman?).

Since it is only a little house and newly built. So, it is easier to do it myself. A simple makeover can add the beauty of my little home to be. I have listed the five major areas of my home that needs decorating and designing.

1. On Choosing Interior Color - Color is a fundamental part of home decorating ideas. I am sure you agree with me. Though there is a huge of selection but also it a major problem. Well, for my little home with a little kitchen bar I decide to have a light color by using cream as my major color for the wall.

2. Home Furniture - Choosing home furniture should match the color scheme you choose for your house. For a little house, I will use a furniture which suits to the size of my living room. Living room furniture with contrasting colors make for an interesting setting.


3. Kitchen Decorating - The kitchen is the heart of my home. This is the place where I have morning cup of coffee, preparing nurturing meals for my family, friends and make foods for parties and special occasions. So to make my kitchen friendly and airy atmosphere. I choose light and bright colors for walls. Or perhaps I can add some bit and pieces for decoration and a blinds and curtains for windows. To save spaces, I can hang large utensils or keep it in a little cupboard.

4. Bedroom Decorating - Many people think that there's much you can do to decorate a bedroom. A bed, the usual bit and pieces not much for it. For a small modern bedroom design I can add lamps that attach on the wall in both side of the bed to make it cozy and calm. And I will use a light color so that it will have a cheerful and fresh ambiance. Put some adds-on like hanging beautiful painting in the wall or add some decorative pillows.


5. Bathroom Decorating - Small bathroom does not mean dysfunctional. There are things you can do to ensure small bathroom functional. You can use every conceivable space, every nook and cranny. So, instead of mirror, I will use a narrow cabinet with mirror. Put lights near to the mirror. And use light colors, possibly white that I can go with any decor.


Enjoy decorating!

Wanted to have a Shower Room

One of my favorite part in a house aside from bedroom and kitchen , is a bathroom - wherein I can do practical task, such cleansing my body, relaxing and unwinding at the end of my busy day!Char!
Since a bath tub is impossible to have in my little house to be , thus, I keep thinking about to have a shower room. Showers are popular in new house built today. A shower is a quick and invigorating way to start a day. It can be fitted into a small spaces, such as the area under a staircase or wardrobe recess in the bedroom. And because my house has only small spaces I plan to have a sliding shower door which is perfect for my small bathroom. And of course , in this modern age surfing the internet for inspiration gets me more excited for the planning process. Voila, I have found some cute design of shower doors at absolutehome.com


It might not cheap but I rather to have a shower door than a shower curtain to avoid the whole bathroom become wet and to protect the bathroom door to become filthy.

Keep your Flowers Live Longer

It's a known fact that to keep flower fresh and alive is to change the water regularly and to cut the stem slant because slanted cut exposes more stem surface area.

In addition, you can keep your flowers live longer by adding a half cup of bleach in a water, it will also keep the water clear. You can also add a teaspoonful of sugar or a few drops of soda.

Try it I can proved it to you, Sarah gets fresh flower from her son in-law and I kept the flowers for two to three weeks. Yes of course, there are some dead leaves, just clean and remove it.

Sausages Omelet

I'm tired of making the same recipe everyday and I'm afraid if I make an experiment Sara might not eat it. But yesterday, I was really bored, I want something different but easy and simple to prepare. So, the answer was this Sausages Omelet. Actually, she used to have mushroom omelet..but I ran out of mushroom so, I thought about sausages.
