Pink Room for the Girls

Source: shelterness.com via Race on Pinterest

Even though we still don't have enough for our dream duplex homes I'm having plans and designs on how the rooms will look.  I have flair for designing homes and remembered doing it with my sister on our school breaks.  It turned out only my big brother got into the field of designing and construction houses and buildings.  Both Redge and I decided to take up computer courses.  Well anyway it has remained a hobby for me to search and look for good layout plans and beautiful designs of houses.  Since everything can be found online little by little I collect designs that I found lovely for my dream home.  

This one suit my concept of a girls' room.  Since my girls are into teen years no more cartoon characters or teeny weeny designs in the room.  A touch of pink would always remain as I find it so cute.  My eldest has an artist blood in her heart that she can also add more designs of her own here if we did create something of this in the future.  Btw, I love the stripes on the wall, a respite from the normal plain walls. Nice concept!

Family, Summer and Music

The weather suddenly changed too fast last weekend and most people in the city regret the change as they want the colder temperature which they usually get when they visit Baguio. Well for me I welcomed the change because I got a stomach coldness last week and every time I was exposed to direct air conditioner my stomach crumbles. It was a bad week for me and I felt different this week because I can eat anything without fear of having stomach pain. 

Anyway I can feel the coming of summer with the breeze of air slowly becoming hotter, maybe not that hot this week but it will before the end of the month. Well for me summer is a happy season as it bonds the family. During summer we do a lot of family activies and short travels. It's also the times of sports fest, summer class and musical bonding with the kids. 

I can say that summer is a great time for learning new craft and other musical instruments or perfecting musical pieces. I will not be surprised if the sales on these instruments increases because lots of kids prefer to buy on this season where they can really have time to study and hone their skills. I also prefer to look for new accessories, nstruments on those dates like squier vintage modified strat at guitar center and many others. For people who plays guitar it's a great help to find everything you need.

Home Area for Music

We all know that our home is the place where we feel relaxed and comfortable but there are certain corners or room which are more special than other places. For others they tend to stay most in living room where they entertain visitors and enjoy carefree moments with the family. Some families install their television in the living room for more bonding instead of having them in each room. Some like me wants to stay in the kitchen as I love cooking and preparing foods for my family is one of my hobbies. Anyway I can still carry and work on my laptop even I’m in the kitchen. 

Well there are others who spend a lot of their time in the music room for relaxing moments if they have designated room for it. My brother puts all their musical instruments in the attic where they also have their workout equipment.
