My Obsession Of Interior Design and Furnitures Led Me To Bankruptcy! LOL

It wasn't that long that I blogged about "Our Unfinished House in Laguna", also when I was on the process of choosing "Fashionable Curtains for this House", other than anything else buying FURNITURES was not on my list of things yet to be done, not just yet! By the way, the house hasn't been completely finished yet, they are still working on patios and gate, garden and wall finishing on the outside. But we're getting there....

However, plans may have had changed but I was quite happy with the result! I knew from the very beginning the type of wood to buy when it comes to furnitures, beddings, etc... However, I didn't realize I HAD SPENT SO MUCH (on furnitures alone) THAT LED ME TO SHORTAGE FOR THE HOUSE COMPLETION! Well, I didn't realize too they were that expensive! Yet, I haven't even bought the curtains I wanted! They just bought temporary ones after I realized I had nothing left! Oh dear...

So now I declare myself as BANKRUPT! lol.... But no regrets at all, I promise....:)

You may have noticed that I've been busy grabbing opps... EVERY LITTLE HELPS... hahahahaha

Fashionable Curtains I Love for Our House in Laguna

A while ago, I blogged about our "Unfinised House in Laguna", the house I managed to buy when I was still working in Angola, which at the beginning it was just for investment purposes, that however my plans changed in times, and decided to extend it to another 3 meters. In the end, it is worth to have another decent sized bedroom, dining and a living room.

I tell you what, I am finally relieved from financial stress after all!, considering that the original budget was only to spend at least P180k, but in the end the total amount spent was P350k! It nearly gave me a heart attack, to be honest with you. Which means that all other plans had to be put on hold due to budget constraints.

Though it has just finished from finishing, to painting and we are now on the process of buying furniture, some appliances, bedding, curtains and the rest all other accessories needed! Whew, I didn't realize it was gonna be this expensive and stressful, but like I said it was worth all the money we'd spent.

Speaking of chic curtains I'd ever loved to have, are this photos below! I found a "bespoke" curtain supplier and she'll make these curtains for me. They are quite expensive though but nothing really makes you feel fulfilled until you get want you want, even in small things like this!



3 SETS on this for the LIVING ROOM, exactly the same color combination ( the best match best on the paint color we have)...

1 SET in each BEDROOM (3 total), but of different color combination as the 3 bedrooms are of different paint colors....
Can't really wait until I see the beauty inside! Will be blogging about this soon....

Have You Thought Of Upgrading Your House?

Having your own home will sooner or later lead you to the desire of remodeling a room or two, especially if you weren’t designing the house. It can be anything from replacing the ventilation system to adding an extra small room, changing your bathroom or kitchen structure, etc... Remodeling can be fun and exciting, sometimes can be very stressful especially if you budget or plan your own, exactly the same as what I have just experienced!

Apparently, my husband and I decided to remodel our house that we bought 5 years ago since it has never been occupied and it looked as though repairs was horribly needed before it was gonna be too late. Even if no one is going to stay there in the end, it would however increase the valuation of the property.

If you've ever been looking for a contractor who specializes in Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling, San Jose remodeling is right here to serve you. They offer removing or adding walls, updating electrical service, plumbing, lighting, flooring, ventilation, drywall, painting, finish carpentry and more.

Kitchen or bathroom
remodeling can improve the value of your home and simply make it more functional and attractive. Making small and even inexpensive changes in your bathroom can make all the difference in the world, and much of it you can do on your own.
