Home of Jo Claravall

By | Homes and Interiors | No Comments

And this is how Jo Claravall started…..

“It started when a coordinator saw my old house and asked me to style an event  8 years back, i didnt know how to style a party, sabi ng coordinator, just make it fantastic like you would style your own party, and i did, i didnt know what i did then was over and beyond what people in my industry do pala…its been my passion and work na from that day:)”

Here are photos of Jo’s old home.  I like how Jo showed both night and day shots of the same angle

You won’t miss the building in Ortigas Avenue

A Japanese Inspired Home

By | Homes and Interiors | One Comment

For all of us who have been to Japan or who just get inspired by the Japanese – whether it be their high standards, high quality and advanced ways of living, efficiency in doing things, their good food, high technology and excellence in everything they do- we admire them and hope to be like them. Heart2Heart loves Japan!

 Featuring a beautiful home ( in the Philippines ) of a friend who lived in Japan for 9 years and fell in love with the country. She is not an interior designer but she did the interiors of her home and did a great job!!!  She put together many of the beautiful antique pieces she bought during her stay in Japan, some from antique flea markets.  Take note of the collections around the house
