nesting - part 3

so all the nesting paid off...

here's how our new nest looks... still in black and white :)

and here's her own li'l nest...

yey!

color trends

hey it's been a while!!!

anyway have a look at how a magazine used our pad as their color pegs for the season!

b&w bedroom

i'm writing this on our new desk: the piece that finishes our bedroom project.

isn't the desk pretty? it's by kenneth cobonpue.

anyway, remember our inspiration?

here's how we interpreted it...

and here are a few of my fave details...

my bedside b&w photo of pops.

some serene drawings...

my siopao...

your paris photos :)

a little vignette...

still a li'l work to be done. but i think we did pretty good...

...until we will make changes to add this.

bye bye bed

i kinda felt bad having to say goodbye to our very first purchase as a married couple...

we've replaced it with this...

but we're a longs way from achieving the look of our peg.

will keep you posted!

his & hers design

over a span of a few months, i've unknowingly been kicked out of my home office...

the hub is now slowly building his new small home theater...

and so i'm moving next door...

...inspired by a recent purchase:

"the selby", a book based on the successful website,

essentially a site/book that features homes of all these super cool famous and not-so-famous people in a really cool way...

here's a look inside:

from which i took inspiration from for our new altar in my new room:

the rest of the room, though, needs more help.

help!

back to the selby, i think you'll really like it.

girly-girl bedroom

i know you've seen this a thousand times...

but this IS my first bedroom project.

saw it recently, and until now, it still makes me proud.

so here's a walk through of what i did...

the focal point is the bed... with a custom-made apple green tufted headboard, and a patterned bed cover...

the side table has a box-pleated cover made from a dark teal vintage fabric that belonged to her grandfather.

the reading chair is a recycled club chair ;) reupholstered with a printed teal fabric.

the drapes are layered lace fabrics...

and the curtain ties i made from elongated rings i got from divi :)

across the bed is an ilocano dresser painted in metallic silver... and matched with a plastic green stool.

beside it, a vignette that includes 3 hat boxes from kish.

overall, it was a pretty successful project. not expensive at all, and continues to make the "client" happy.

i hope i get a next project :)

tour de carlos: 2nd leg

next stop: south syquia apartments, malate. architect: pablo antonio.

love the courtyard and art deco details... just wish they'd freshen up the facade a little.

the destination: norman crosologo's unit which was right up our aesthetic (as you will see).

the living room, where the star was one of kawayan de guia's pimped up jukeboxes.

more artwork...

loving the lighting...

dining area...

do you recognize this? (should... have... gotten... it.....)

the pink sitting room...

the bath...

and finally, the bedroom...

with the artwork that the hub said was enough to make the tour all worth it.

more of the bedroom...

okay, that's it for now. more, more, more to come!!!
