native baroque

apart from helena,


the first thing you notice in mangenguey is the design.

you're first greeted by these uber cute colored cottages, where helena mixes colors, vintage and traditional filipino furniture.


the main house is my fave.  an open ground floor with a big functional kitchen smack in the middle of it.




my favorite corner...


the bedrooms are right up our alley -- with cute colors, baroque furniture and native elements.

this pink bed in the pink suite is my fave...  i want to copy it.


also love the pink chair and pink lamp...

 
our bleu bed in the bleu suite (love the bench. i want to copy.)...


our balcony...


our semi-outdoor bathroom...


our dresser...  the photograph on the lower right is of helena's.



the two suites can open up to a central sitting room.  i love this idea.  i want to copy for our house.  what house?


the view from our room...


more later!
