We stepped into our new and nearly bare house January this year. The bathroom was not even done yet when we move in, but we wanted to start our married life in our own blissful little home.
We are truly thankful to our family, relatives and friends who gifted us something essential to build our home project. Every pieces in our home have always remind us of someone close to our heart. F sent me photos on October 2008 when they started renovating the apartment. The roof was changed, applied new paint, extended the room area and a lot of things were done.
Came December we bought floor tiles and had it installed before we moved in.
January was a chaos, as we moved in majority of our stuff. It was also the time where we have to decide what furniture to buy, what colors should be prominent around the house, what goes well with each piece, and a whole bunch of stuff.
It was like puzzle pieces that we put together. Some are perfectly fit together, some still missing.
Wellington Dining Set
Our newest purchase is a Wellington Dining Set from Stephanie Trading. Scored it at 25% off from mall price. Isn't it beautiful? It is a four seater table with stools that are slightly curved and roomy enough to accommodate fat b*tt.
Another piece I love is our day bed. I was dying to have one from Ikea, as far as thinking to ship an item from Hong Kong. But alas, we found an alternative here at a more cheaper price.
I fell inlove with daybeds at first glance. It seemed to be the perfect couch for relaxing and watching movies, plus it is spacious that we can put a tray stand on it whenever I am working on my laptop. Pull in a lot of pillows and we have a cozy couch.
I had it spray painted with black to contrast with the walls. But since our next project will be repainting the walls, I'm thinking it will be nice to color the rails with bronze or gold. What do you think?
Our shelvings and some of our furniture are personalized and handcrafted by my husband's relative, Kuya Carlo. When we needed a modern shoe rack, we showed him the design we like and presto, he created one for us.
These are just some of the projects we made for our little home. Looking forward for more.

dining set is gorgeous but it'll just be for a small company.
@Renatojr3 - Thanks. Yeah, I really want a small dining set since kami lang ni hubby sa bahay.
I managed to catch urban zone a few times and its really a good show. I'm addicted to extreme makeovers & clean house though
