Kawayan Cove Beach House by Gil Coscolluela

By | Homes and Interiors, Travel | No Comments

To be a member of the Beach Club, you have to be a resident of Kawayan Cove.  Our good friend Gil did such a great job in building this beautiful home for Larry and Roselen !! 

It’s a three story house

Going down

Living room which is a mixture of modern and old.  Lolah Chair by Kenneth Cobonpue and a sala set which Roselen got from Larry’s grandparents- she just repainted themdsc_3891.JPG

 I really liked the wooden Filipiniana dining table which is also a hand me down 

View from the dining room – I told Roselen to remove those trees so you can see the beach 🙂  Behind those trees is the beach.  You can hear the sound of the water

Looking down at the garden

 Going down to the garden level

Nice!!  This is the bigger set of the furniture handed down to them by Larry’s grandmother

The view of the house from the garden – beautiful architecture!!!

Restored Chair

By | Homes and Interiors | 5 Comments

Aunty Remy was giving away her chairs and she offered them to me.  I was thinking of what I could do with it – maybe have Jia Santos Estrella paint them? 🙂  But I had an idea when I went to Antonio’s in Tagaytay and this is how it came out.  Yes, frustrated designer! 🙂

aunty-remys-old-chair.JPG

 Here is the inspiration from Antonio’s Tagaytay 🙂

restored-chair.JPG

I had the chairs painted first then I had my upholsterer pick it up from the painter.  I spent P 1,200 per chair which includes already the materials and the labor.  I think it is really very reasonable.    I am including here the upholsterer I always use since I do a lot of restoration 🙂  His name is Clark and I promised him I would refer him to friends.  Cellphone #:  0943-386-03-66 and land line no. 212-86-13.

His company is Real Upholstery and he told me that he uses Uratex foam for his projects and I was happy because his father started off long ago in this business and was friends with the owner of Uratex who is the father of my friend, Bigboy Cheng 🙂

Renovated Rustan’s Tower Shangri-la Plaza Mall

By | Homes and Interiors, What's New at Rustan's | 2 Comments

After the fire in Shangrila Plaza Mall, Rustan’s renovated and now has a new look which many have been telling me all the positive feedback on the store.  My cousin Trisha described it very well, that it was like a department store in the States.  Last month I had the chance to quickly go around and take a few photos.  I came in from the mall and entered through the men’s department
