Wouldn't it be nice to wake up here? The morning sun would be a lovely alarm, reminding you to wake up to a brand new beautiful day!

A Few Tips in Buying a Condo for Investment

Image
Saving your money in the bank is good. The thing here however is that it has the possibility of being spent. If it gets spent, then you have to start over again! Most Young Urban Professionals, famously known as "Yuppies" , don't even get to think about investing in something like a property or business. I know because I was one of them! We were young of course and we thought about gadgets, trips, gimmicks, movies, our daily allowances and other personal stuff. We wanted to earn more so that we can spend more. ©  Getty Images / Dimitri Vervitsiotis I advice you to think this way -- You are just in your first 25 years on earth, you have a lot more years to live after that! Why not work hard while you're young to prepare for the rest of your life that's still ahead of you (which is let's say around 50 years or more)? That's more than the 20++ years you have lived, which means that you will have more decades to live the life you truly deserve. ...

Creating a Work Corner: Your little office in your condo

I can't help but post this! This is the perfect corner for me -- i'll just replace the sewing machine with my computer, and the other things with my trinkets, figurines, books and my vintage cameras! Image c/o theDaintySquid I've always planned to redesign my bedroom at our home in Bulacan to make it reflect my personality, but it's just this year that I was able to finally start doing so. I painted the walls a bluish gray, and highlighted it with Hot Pink curtains. I wanted to have all my furnitures white -- the kind that looks like it's just roughly painted so it looks rustic -- but I realized I'm more of the COLORFUL type. This is my room in the morning and the sunlight is just lovely! I hung my polaroid photos in the corner using nylon and small colorful tongs and I made some invisible bookshelves too! I'm thinking of creating a sticker mural for the opposite wall, but I'm still looking for a supplier and thinking of a design! I...

Designing your new home!

Image
Having your own place is very exciting. You get to move to a new community and adjust to a new way-of-life. But aside from a changed lifestyle, one exciting thing about moving to a new place, be it a condominium or a house, is how you work to make your new home pleasing and warm. Most real estate developers in the Philippines today offer BARE condominium units, not only to make them more affordable but also to give the client a great opportunity to be creative with his/her given space by choosing his own furniture, fixtures, tiles, paint color, etc. I've always been fascinated by various styles of rooms and thanks to the Internet, I have some ideas on how I want my home to look! Or maybe as dainty and rustic as this: I believe that designing your own home is not something that you do only once. In fact, for some it is a constant task. Many people are always on the lookout for something that they can add to make their home not just prettier, bu...

Resource Furniture: Italian-Designed Space Saving Furniture

I love this concept! It's a great way to save some space in your home! With this system, you can turn a 22 square-meter studio unit condominium into a roomful of rooms! When you don't need your bed, you can just fold it away to reveal your study desk. Then maybe you can have some hidden storage space in your bathroom. The possibilities are endless! Even if your living space is small, you can still take it as a good opportunity to be creative when it comes to space efficiency.
