    First step in designing a small house

    Monday, April 5th, 2010

    I live in a small house right now that is just enough for my little family, compose of mu husband, my son, a helper and me. When we moved in to this house with 2 bedrooms and one room for our maid, we had a little problem designing it since we have lots of stuff that was given from our wedding and from our old house.

    So we decided to hire an interior decorator to help us maximize this small unit that we have and use the resources we have as well. First problem came to us is to remove all items that we will not use anymore even if they have their sentimental value. That will really hurt me so much since I am attached to every small thing given to me and I think I still can use that thing in the near future.

    I decided that instead of throwing away those things, I will give them to our friends or to my sister who can use them and if ever I’ll need it I can borrow it then. This first step was really hard but helpful and made me and my hubby relieved that we are left with few useful things now.

    You can also use this tip when fixing your closet and need to give room to your new clothes. The rest of the interior decorator advice on my next entry.

    Women on Interior Designing

    Monday, February 1st, 2010

    There are a lot of things about women that differentiate them from men. Not only physically, but also by simple values and etiquette. And sometimes even emotionally. Examples of these are: One, a woman cannot waltz right into public without a shirt on. No, scratch that. It is not that she cannot, but, rather, she would not. Two, in the Philippines, men tend to pee in public. Either on walls or trees or behind cars or God knows where. But, no way have I ever seen a women pee behind a tree or behind her own car. Three, women have more coordinated taste in art than men. An obvious example of this is visual art like interior design. Like how women prefer something like Columbus ohio windows than metal or fiberglass windows.

    In my opinion and since I myself am a woman, more women than men have good taste with designing and coordination of artistic values. Four, is the fact that most women have a more pleasant disposition than most men. And I do not think that this is, at all, debatable. Because of their physical differences, women tend to comprise more proper values and etiquette than men and they always feel the need to keep their selves in check.
