Places: Stacy's

you know you're getting older when you frequently have brunch with friends 

than late night partying... :)  

so yes,  i started Saturday with brunch, which was a total effort in my case cos i normally sleep at 2-4 in the morning. (i know, i need to limit my fb, youtube, & blogger addiction in order to sleep earlier *pfft*)

 

good thing the place my friend picked was pretty decent and relaxing... 

it's like an extension to my room and is a smaller version of Memory Lane in Tagaytay. 

The interior is very light & shabby chic, i think it was the Heima group who did the interior 

of this place, cos some of the items are very similar/familiar to the store.

 

and don't you just loooove that pink SMEG fridge at the background? aaah i would want to have one of those in my house! if budget permits lol. its way too expensive for me now.

 

how the Philippines GOT SO INTO cottage style/ shabby chic interiors i don't know. 

it fits my personal taste for now, so i'm not complaining :) 

but i hope i don't get tired with the look, since more and more shops are looking the same way now... :)

have a great weekend!

nappy time :)

Room Feature: Cosmo Magazine

i woke up at 7am today, which is pretty odd cos i never wake that early! but i have to clean my room/  try my best to make it look decent for a magazine feature :) 

(it would be featured in Cosmo PH's November issue :) 

 

 my room has still a lot of stuff pending (i'm not completely done with it yet!) but a week's notice wasn't enough to manufacture the bench-of-my-dreams, and other furniture i've been sketching in my head for some time now (-.-) i declined the offer at first, but had second thoughts since i realized it wasn't an interior/design magazine anyway, so any flaws can pass for now :)

 excited how the shots are gonna turn out soon :)

 with Ms. Chinggay Labrador of Cosmo Philippines :)

bed weather

no matter how baaad i want to stay at home today, and curl up in my bed... i have.to.go meet the supplier, canvass, and man our booth construction which lasted til 10:30 PM. *blah* i just sipped a glassful of Berocca, hoping to get well, because tom i will be shopping for fabrics/materials in Divisoria! *mixed emotions* i hope the weather gets better tomorrow... and SO MUST I!

 my favorite books so far :)

...added pops of neon colors from candies on top of my storage cabinet to cheer me up everyday :)

Exhibit Progress. Week 1 ++

While everyone in Manila is engrossed with their long-weekend vacation, we on the other hand, are working - manning construction that is, on a Holiday... don't you just love it? :) *sarcasm*

But it's such a breather to have actually seen progress, like right now, we're painting.

 

 and though i'm really excited about how this booth is gonna turn out, i'm still having mixed emotions since we decided to alter changes and edit our original design (financial & time limit problems :( we don't have that much sponsors, so we're shouldering the cost ourselves *sigh* but oh well, in 2-3 week's time, it'll ll be over. and i'm just way too excited to work and focus on my real-life design projects after this :)

wait for it.... :)

Blanc

there's something about white on white in different textures that i can't get over with :)

i looove this wall! its so dreamy, something i want in my office :) 

eclectic living room design by media and blogs Dreamy Whites

 

i have a soft spot for something raw and unpolished.

 

ethereal. 

 

the wall mural made this dressing room a little bit of Alice in Wonderland, 

in a subdued sense :)

Projects. Sy Residece

will be working on a new project, and these are some of the inspirations i gathered so far.

THE SHELL.

i saw the perspective of the facade and its pretty modern, more of minimalist black + white.

 

they have a lot of high-ceiling windows, and i thought of dressing the garden/walkway like this.

but not too tropical... planning to mix contemporary + glam, since the newly-wed couple

are more open to the current trends than go minimalist.

Neo Baroque perhaps.

 

i'm quite excited about their roof deck too :) 

they said, this is where they will be holding parties and entertaining their guest...

and i'm already eyeing these Locsin lounge chairs to put in there.

INTERIOR

for the interiors, so far, this is the peg the couple wants in their master's bedroom.

 but i'm still thinking of putting more COLORS, cos they gave me no restrictions :)

funny thing is, the more they say, "bahala ka, basta maganda" i get more freaked out! LOL.
