burlap drapes

After our wedding, we live at my parents house.  Me and my husband's dream is to have our own house.  I love a house that is nice and clean, simple and neat, not too big and not too small.  I love to put a veranda for us to chill-out or talk with friends and family.  A playground and swimming pool also are nice ideas for the kids to enjoy during weekends and holidays.  It is also nice to have basement in case of emergency.  I want our master bedroom to have our own bathroom inside with bath tub and jacuzzi, then with a big sliding door for us too see the view of the garden that have lots of plants and fountains.  To have a nice look of the house, we must have beautiful design of curtains or drapes. You can canvass online for drapes but many said that burlap drapes are pretty nice. As you know, curtains come in a variety of shapes, materials, sizes, colors and patterns, and they often have their own sections within department stores, while some shops are completely dedicated to selling curtains. Curtains vary according to cleanability, ultraviolet light deterioration, oil and dust retention, noise absorption, fire resistance, and life span. Curtains may be moved by hand, with cords, by press-button pads or remote-controlled computers. Measuring the curtain size needed for each window varies greatly according to the type of curtain needed, window size, and type and weight of curtain.  Cannot wait to tell my husband about getting our dream house, I am so excited.  Very much excited!

fireplace mantel shelves at agee woodworks

In our country we do not have fireplace in each home because we do not have winter or snow. It only rains or mostly it is very hot.  There are fireplaces only in cold places like farms that are very cold especially early morning. Fireplaces are used at the present time mostly for the relaxing ambiance they create. Historically they were used for the practical purposes of heating, cooking, and heating water for laundry and domestic uses. A fire is contained in a firebox or firepit; a chimney or other flue allows exhaust to escape. It is my dream to have our own home. When the time comes I will go to a place that is cold and build my own rest house and I will put a fireplace. To add more beauty in my home, fireplace mantel shelves at agee woodworks is perfect because you can put decorations and picture frames that will you will surely treasure. But did you know that there are bad effects when there are fireplaces especially in our health? With regard to adults, studies show that prolonged inhalation of wood smoke contributed to chronic bronchitis, chronic interstitial lung disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension and corpulmonale, and altered pulmonary immune defense mechanisms. While adverse effects on adults are notable, children appear to be at greatest risk.

cheap kitchen cabinets

My husband and I are married for 6 years with 2 daughters but still we stayed at my mother's house. It is really our dream to have our own home, to have our own bedroom, our own living room, own bathroom and own dining room and kitchen. To have our own home, need to canvass some furnitures to arrange inside. As for me, I want to start in the kitchen. We have plates, glasses, utensils, etc. as wedding gifts but we need to have kitchen cabinets to put them. But where do I find cheap kitchen cabinets? Online, kitchen cabinets wholesale store has a huge selection of discount kitchen cabinetry. In an article I read, finding cheap kitchen cabinets that are not "cheap" kitchen cabinets can be a challenge on a budget. Experts agree that cabinets can take up to 50% of your kitchen budget.

daybed

I love to go home and relax in a comfy place, watching television or playing with the kids. I want to have this "sofa bed" type that I can sit or lie down. I just browse the right one, it is the daybed. Daybeds are used as beds as well for lounging, reclining and seating in common rooms. Curling up on a daybed with a good book or a favorite magazine is one of the joys of life. Napping away an hour or two is easy on this type of accent furniture. Their frames can be made out of wood, metal or a combination of wood and metal. Daybeds typically feature a back and sides and come in Twin Size but offer a range of bed prices to fit any budget. I want to get two daybeds for my two daughters, I love color pink. See the photo below, that kind of design I want for them.


rustic vanity

It is really my dream to have our own car, business and a house to stay with. At present, we still live in my parents house while my husband is working outside the country for 6 years already. Inside a home, it is normal for us to buy furniture in a department store. When it comes to decorating homes, you can choose from variety of ways and styles that are very unique like using woods. If you have a specific rustic vanity design in mind, can build exactly what you need. When you are into rustic vanity, you can use cedar logs, aspen logs, barn wood, montana log, lamberjack log, and many more. In bathrooms, choose the type of wood to match the theme of design and decor bathroom scale height, countertop and sink, finish, and price. I am not good into interior design but I want to learn how to do it so that my husband and I will design our home all the details that we have in our minds.

mannigton laminate

Having a relaxing home is very nice and we should be comfortable also, not just the ambiance and surroundings but also the flooring that we are walking. Having laminate floors are extremely durable and attractive. They are scratch and stain resistant and ideally designed for areas with a high degree of foot traffic, especially by children and pets. This type of flooring is very easy to maintain and does not fade even in direct sunlight and it imitates the aspect of traditional wood and the biggest advantage of it is that they are very easy to install. You should choose mannigton laminate flooring because it emulates the elegance of porcelain tile and warmth of hardwood and it is easy to maintain. Laminate flooring is the cheapest floor compared with hardwood and bamboo.

kaufmann fabric

Just last two weeks ago I already had our 54x75 bed (including 2 mattresses and a side table) and I was thinking of having our 2 sofa in the living room be upholstered. I already asked the owner of the furniture shop and they gave me an idea on what to use and how much will it cost. He mentioned a branded fabric but I do not know if it is okay, so I searched the internet for more information. Maybe I will try kaufmann fabric because they have the best wholesale quality of fabrics and they are affordable also. They have unique conversational designer prints and plaids all working together for a sophisticated and whimsical look. They also have fabrics not only for upholstery, they also have slipcover, drapery, or home decorating projects to choose from and their collections are perfect for duvet covers, bed skirts, pillows and pillow shams and many more. I cannot wait to see their collections. I hope they have Hello Kitty collections too because I am a fan, hehe...

our new bed

Finally, our new bed is done. Still waiting for it to be delivered and I am excited about it. I only paid like $453 for a 54x75 box typed bed w/ headboard & mattress, a small side table and a 30x75 mattress for our double-deck. It is cheaper compared buying at the mall.

randomness

  • Last Thursday and Friday, I had the chance to talk to hubby thru Skype before they left for Louisiana. He's happy to see Mika, Raine, and me.

Mika will sleep sa double deck bed below then kami ni hubby at Raine sa new bed. Nag-bigay ng update yung furniture na pinagawaan naman and baka by next week tapos na.

box-type bed

Good day! Thanks to all who visited and commented on my previous entries, it's an honor. Since hubby left for work abroad, we've talked a lot about having our own bed. He let me canvass in different stores in the department stores. But as what I have told him, he said it's too expensive. Well, good thing was that somebody added me as his friend in Facebook (a furniture shop). He's actually a schoolmate of mine back in my high school days. So, I browsed his photo samples of his work and it's very nice. They are not that "high class" and expensive furniture shop, they are simple people with simple designs but unique. I asked him if how much do it cost for me to make a new bed and to my surprise, it's really cheap compared to department stores. I already made my down payment and the balance will be paid after the bed is done. Cannot wait to see the finished product. Will post an entry here when the bed arrives. Have a blessed Monday to all and God bless!

Table Lamp

A table lamp is both decorative and functional. They provide light in a preferred part of the room at night. While enhancing the beauty of the room during the day, especially if one has a taste for the interiors. Table lamps comes in different shapes and sizes that suit one's needs. The bulb adds to the desired mood; a soft color tone in the evening is very restful especially if accompanied by a beautiful soft music in the background. On the other hand, white or yellow light allows one to do readings or view old photographs and bring back memories.

Dehumidifiers

A dehumidifier is typically a household appliance that reduces the level of humidity in the air, usually for health reasons. Humid air can cause mold which has various health risks. Countries that at tropic which do not have the four seasons normally experience humidity that is why many purchase dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers are not only use inside the house, it could also be use in the basement and closet. A parent like me wants to protect our children from sickness, that is why we give the best care and treatment to them especially their health and wellness. These days, we do not know what might happened to us if we get sick and it is not easy to buy medicines if you do not have enough budget. That is why, health is important and we must take good care of ourselves. If we do not take care of ourselves, who can? Be practical!

Chandeliers

In Wikipedia, a chandelier is a branched decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture with two or more arms bearing lights. Chandeliers are often ornate, containing dozens of lamps and complex arrays of glass or crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light. It it really good to have your own house because you have the authority to choose what to put or decorate. If I have a big house, I would put chandeliers in my living room, dining room and each room around the house. Online, some offers huge range of chandeliers, including Swarovski crystal chandeliers, wrought iron chandeliers, brass chandeliers and many more. Well, these are my dreams and hope and pray to have them in the future.

p90x

Are you tired of your body weight? Do you want to get a healthy sexy body and be physically fit? There are lots of solutions and one of them is p90x. p90x or Power 90 Extreme is a home exercise system. It claims to improve physical fitness in 90 days through a rigorous segmented training program with a nutrition and dietary supplement plan. P90x is a 90-day program that combines a variety of exercise techniques including strength training, cardio, yoga, plyometrics and stretching. As for me, I do not do exercise maybe because I am not use to doing it. I want to do the p90x because I have fats on my tummy after I gave birth. I do not want to have fats like most women have because it is not healthy looking. When my husband arrives, will tell him about this home exercise.
