Decorating a new home

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

My sister in law has a new house! There will be the traditional house blessing this coming Sunday in time also for her 31st birthday! I am thinking of buying accent rugs for her new abode. I must ask her first what is the color of their living room so that what I will purchase could at least complement the house motif.

Decorating a new home is really exciting and fulfilling. I wish I could do that soon also!

Alternative

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

I think every house should have an emergency alert system. It is not only a protection from robbers but even for certain things like a flood maybe or big animals that would like to enter your home. My sister-in-law’s idea. She said that as an alternative we could put some cans at the gate. I do not know how it would work. Anyways, an alarm system would be best for our peace of mind.

Big renovation

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

The garage floor of our neighbor’s house is even nicer to look at and step into than what we have right now. We have not yet decided on what kind of flooring to be used for the living room. I do not know how long it will take for us to finally choose one. It has been more than a month since that typhoon that destroyed our house. There is a big renovation needed. Even the main door of the house needs to be replaced. we lost so many things too. It is quite depressing and the stress it caused is really high. Until now, it still stays.

Make the room cleaner and bigger

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

I think that having glass tiles in the kitchen is cleaner. It is easier to clean and it is easier to see the dirt. The kitchen is one area in the house that should be spic and span all the time because there is where we prepare the food that we eat.

I would also like to put glass tiles in the bathroom. It will have a great effect and would make the room biiger.

Free

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

One of the marketing strategies of companies selling appliances is giving freebies. We went to the mall and the flat screen TV that we would like to buy comes with a free electrical fan. We looked around and other freebies are mounts, microwave ovens, DVD players and other small appliances. Not bad, huh! It gives the buyer a sense of being able to save by getting a freebie.

Durable mattress

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Changing your bed mattress is a must. When do you know that it needs change? Well, when you already feel itchy every time you lie down. It is just as simple as ABC, I guess. We are searching for a more durable bed mattress. Would you believe that what we have right now is already seven years old? That is not hygienic nor healthy at all. We better dispose it and buy a new one.

No leak

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

One of my officemates bought a house and home magazine. He would be transferring to his newly built house by November 2009. He is thinking of having a theme for his house. His favorite part of the house is of course the part where he could really rest and relax. Is it the bedroom? No, it is the bathroom. That is why, he would like to buy only the best bathroom fixtures and accessories. I told him that he should really invest on quality materials. I am talking with experience since we recently replaced our bathroom faucets. The previous ones always leak and our water bill really went high.  Now, I am happy with what we have. No more leak.

Welcome the guests at the patio

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

I love the outdoor furniture I saw online! it is perfect for our patio. Our living room is just small that is why we could not accommodate many guests inside the house. Good thing thing we have a patio where the others could hang out. In the future, I am actually considering it to become an expansion of the living room. I am deeply thinking of that though. Well, I love the fresh air and the morning sun at the patio. If we put a roof on that area and enclosed it, we surely would miss communing with nature.

Sit on

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

One of the most important things inside our homes is the toilet seat. It is being used by everyone. However, not everybody feels comfortable on it. There is a remedy for that. You could purchase a toilet seat riser. But, I am not talking about the ordinary seat cushion that you could get from the house and home section of shopping malls. Get one that is somehow medically prescribed. Get it from Allegro Medical. Check out their other products that you might just need. Hurry! They have some promos at this time. Enjoy big,big discounts! Remember, if you are thinking about the best products to improve life, think of allegro Medical.

Fire prevention

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

March is actually the fire prevention month here in our country. I wonder if there is a peak in sale of a fire alarm last month. Do you have one inside your household? I think that it is very important. As they say, prevention is always better. I must start looking for a fire alarm. We do not have one. I think that we need to invest on it especially that we have a neighborhoood wherein houses are in rows and no firewall at all.
