One Stop Shop For Home Furniture Needs

5 / 5 / 13

Whenever we buy furniture for our home, we make it a point to do a research first on price, discounts, stocks, availability, quality and feedback of a home furniture store to make sure that our time and money don’t go into waste.

You see, traveling alone is time consuming so as not to disappoint ourselves upon reaching a furniture depot that does not offer the things we are looking for. Glad that there are online furniture sellers that we can look around first to see their line of products with all the complete specifications and high quality pictures to match the items for clear viewing.

Sitting in front of the computer at the comfort of your home while doing furniture shopping is cool right?! Not to mention that you get the same benefits and more than what you expect just like shopping around the furniture store in the mall or depots.

Just like Furniture Depot, they offer 65% off and Free delivery and even assembly on some items. They got quality furniture’s that fits your style and preference for your living, bedroom, kids’ and office room. They catch up on what’s the latest in trends and still got those classic and contemporary pieces that never goes out of style. A one stop shop for al your home furniture indeed.

Home Indoor Pocket Garden

4 / 7 / 13

Finally, one of SIL’s home improvement project indoor pocket garden is all done here. :)

Photo snag from her FB with title Orchids and Bromeliads. A good therapy for the soul.

It is indeed very relaxing to see such nature beauty inside your house. With the terrible weather that we are experiencing this early summer, a view like this definitely helps us all cool down and relax a bit. The said mini garden is located beside the main dining area of the house. It used to be a dull and boring part of the house with some plants and has now turned into a beauty and lively scenario such as this.

Hope we could also pursue the makeover of our garden at the back of the house with a mini fish pond before. It’s a big project with a much needed landscaping to do, so a big budget that we needed too. Hahaha!

Home Works

During the last few weeks of December last year, Ian and I took advantage of the holiday break to do some house work, some renovations and fixing of things here and there. 🙂 I remember we even bought bar clamps needed for some of the woodworks.

We were able to accomplish some of the overdue things like our bathroom makeover.

My sil on the other hand is having their projects for the house too.

Photo above is the current project for the mini garden near the dining area downstairs. Ian’s sister bought some nice orchids and other plants to decorate the said area. I can’t wait to see the finished project.

Where did all my 13th month pay went to last Christmas?

Here…

We finally bid goodbye to Ian’s mattress (the one that he got from his parents) that he has been long using for 10 years. It really did served its purpose very well. It’s the perfect time to buy a new one, a good bed for the new year!

Hello to a more comfy and restful bed. Ian did the research on where to get the cheapest yet of quality made mattress. This Salem bed were offered around 8-9k in malls but we bought it directly to the supplier and have it delivered after 3 days at home.

O bed! O bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head.

12 / 14 / 12

A friend will be setting up a music studio at home and we will be helping him out to buy and choose the accessories that he’ll be putting up like a rack mounting for his audio gears for a well organized music gadgets and accessories.

I think a sliding storage drawer would look more fine so that he could store as many things as he want. We are looking forward to seeing the studio completely set up in a few weeks time.

But whatever it is that you would like to incorporate in the designs and accessories, you should first consider the comfort and convenience of the people who would stay in it. You can either go for the minimal style, were cleanliness and broad space are top consideration.

Cooking and Kitchen Essentials

11 / 29 / 12

We live in a house with a family of two, so we typically share on most of the parts of the house except for the bedroom. But when we finally had the budget, we started on house renovation and had our very own bathroom and kitchen!

Ian and I were so excited to decorate and fill up the kitchen with all the nice accessories and essentials that we could think of 🙂 Since he really loves cooking, Oh yes, he’s the one in charge with the cooking because I am not really good at it. Tehee. We made sure that he has all the necessary cooking tools ( pots, pans, spoons,etc.)

For food preparation, he needs a sharp and quality made knife, like the ones that lion sabatier offers.

They are made of stainless steel and are carefully designed to fit hands, even for the small ones for a good grip. The plastic handles are durable and heat proof too. So we really need a set of it, the ones with different sizes to be used for different purposes like bread, slicing, pairing knifes.

A magnetic spice rack is also on the list, the convenience of having all your spices in one place and within your reach for easy access makes you more relaxed while cooking. Knowing that it is magnetic is an added bonus for its space saving and nice presentation purpose.Those colorful spices looks good as an accessory design for the kitchen too!

Another thing not to forget especially if you love to roast meat like the mermaid. Having a mermaid roasting rack can do the trick, for it is specially designed to fit into the standard size of the dish and to prevent it from rolling over. It is made from stainless steel and very easy to clean up and is dishwasher safe. Roasting saves you on fat calories and perfect roasting gives you a crisp meat.

Cooking is fun especially if you got all the essential tools for you convenience while you move around in the kitchen

Warehouse Furniture Sale

11 / 26 / 12

We went to a nearby warehouse last Saturday to look around on some furniture for the house that we could buy.They are on sale, 70% off from all of the furniture items that are displayed within the showroom area.

Prices are really cheap but are really of quality made materials. Theirs are way better that you can see in the malls and other furniture shops. We’re specifically on the look for lcd tv lift cabinets that we are going to put up in our bedroom. The one we’re currently using is already broken and badly needs replacement.

We weren’t able to buy any because most of the items were already bought and have the reserved tag. The salesperson said that they will be releasing new items next week, so we better go there early to catch on the new release.

For now, I am looking around online and found the TVLift Cabinet.com and saw that they are on Black Friday- Cyber Monday $100 Off! They also do Free In-Home Delivery. That’s an irresistible offer! The downside is that I am on the other side of the world and I can’t grab the opportunity myself.

But I can buy one for my relative in FL as a gift for their newly built house! 🙂

Work/ Bedroom Inspiration

After a tiring work schedule from my day job, I always look forward to hitting the bed to take some rest when I get home and I still need to work with some of my online tasks after dinner and rest at night. Juggling my time with my day job and attending to mommy duties, online activities requires some wise time management to deliver on all of them.

I think this kind of bedroom slash office slash work set-up works for me 🙂 I could take a break in between working to lay in bed when my back hurts. Oops, but I guess this won’t work for those who easily falls asleep eh. 😀 That’s how I manage to keep my working schedule works for me.

When things seems not working like I’ve been staring on the PC for more than a couple of hours with only two sentences in my Windows Live Writer draft, I shut off the PC and get off to sleep. Set the alarm clock to wake me up at certain time and I’m good to go again refreshed from a nap or sleep.
