Creative Work Space

I've been yearning for a place not just for myself but for Mischka too. A place where we can let loose and create beautiful things, trivial or otherwise. Currently lobbying with the Mr. to give us an area for this purpose. While discussion is still ongoing, I have started putting together an inspiration board for our future creative work space (fingers crossed).

Retro-inspired wooden chairs lend a certain charm to modern interiors.

Buntings and tin cans for decorating and organizing are playful and cost effective.

An area rug pulls the look together and vintage suitcases no longer need to be stored in the attic. 

Inspiration board idea.

Another inspiration board idea.

Best to label trash bins accordingly.

Of course, Mischka gets a corner all to herself.

Manila Now!

A fourth of our precious weekend last time was spent checking out what's up in the world of Philippine Furniture Design.  I love all things Filipino and I sincerely think our country is home to the best in furniture design and craftsmanship. 

 Love the total look of this space.

Interesting statement pieces from Locsin International.

She just had to tag along. Kids were not allowed to roam and run around so she got so bored all strapped up. Poor girl.

 

I like this chair made out of bamboo.

And I want this book stand cum lamp.

Fantasy Interiors {Eclectic Nursery}

I have long dreamed of a beautiful nursery for Le Misch. One that's wide, open and well thought of.

She never really had one as we were always shuttling back and forth from Manila to Singapore from the moment she was born up until recently.

It remains a dream as she still sleeps in our bedroom up to now. The need for one has long passed but the longing for one that is as design-infused and eclectic as these is still very much there.

I am smitten by Jennifer Delonge's nursery via Meg Kat's nursery project. It captured all the elements I look for in a nursery (or even in a house)! Some parts organic, some parts vintage, the rest being clean and modern. Now I am head over heels in love with Jennifer's work.

I like the pattern play in this nursery. What with the yellow and white striped ceiling to the dotted curtains and beddings, brilliance by k.f.d.! Of course let us not forget that head popping zebra. I'm not so sure if Misch will like it but it will certainly merit at LOT of questions from her (she is currently on an average of 20 questions per minute. Yes, Hubby and I counted the other night.)

I want her wardrobe and now I want her boy Beckett's nursery! Jenna Lyons seem to have everything, doesn't she?

So there. My pegs for a nursery should a need for one presents itself again.
