Dream House on Paper

That Dream House.

One of my Aunts many times said to me, "Aim for the sky, if you fall, you'll fall on the roof not on the ground". And yes we are.

So glad I found this print out. My husband and I collaborated with the design of this house when we were still in Melbourne. The hard drive it was stored on got corrupted, rendered unusable.

This house is supposed to fit a 120 sqm lot we purchased in Dasmarinas, Cavite. I love its look. We might refine this by adding my garden where it will have complete morning and afternoon sun.

3 years ago, my husband wouldn't agree on putting 17th century stylings for the interior. Now he is warming up to the idea. We vowed to marry our era preferences in our own house. His being modern contemporary, mine being laid-back Victorian, shabby chic.

Country Style Kitchen Design Peg

I was looking for inspirations for a project and I came across this one. I know where I can get those Ladder Back chairs!!! Happy me!

The blue grey service/dining table and white wall gives it a clean appeal. Whilst the red accent pieces and yellow dining chairs make a cheerful inviting kitchen.

You know how some people want to make their house look like that of a hotel room interior? Well, I've been to hotel rooms and I feel brown hues are depressing and also, fattening. Imagine, with brown, white, and cream shade. Makes you want to eat junk on your bed and then sleep, right?!

A design like this feels homey and light. There are no big cabinets at the top of the kitchen counter. Just displays of glass wine and recipe books.

Clients have often geared away from Country Style as it often translate to them as old and rustic. I think this peg is updated with a modern appeal. Hopefully my client will agree :)
