Interior Design and Decoration | Manila, Philippines
Whether you currently live in a small condo, are moving into one, or are planning to rent it out (or perhaps to place it on Airbnb), you’ll probably be on the lookout for design ideas for your small condo unit. But for some reason or another, a major renovation is just not in the cards. […]
Can’t figure out how to arrange furniture in your space? Don’t know where to source stuff for your home?

Got any plans this long weekend? I’d highly recommend a visit to Real Living Space 2015, happening over at the official showroom of the Avida Towers Centera, Reliance corner Mayflower Streets, Mandaluyong City.

As a lit major in college, I always relished in receiving book lists from my professors. Book lists only meant one thing: (book) SHOPPING! Whether it was hunting for inexpensive hardbound copies in book sales or the latest, nicest editions in the big bookstores, book shopping gave me such a thrill. And as soon as […]
Hi everyone. Well, I can’t seem to post regularly on my blog now, can I? My sincerest apologies for this. Been going through some, um, things, in life lately, so this had to take a backseat. Anyway.
