Share Just got back from a site visit and wahhhh, it’s finally happening. We’ve committed to a move in date– when the moon is in between waxing and waning in February! Here’s mom taking our shipoo on a special house tour– she’s one of the lucky first visitors of My Nuvali Home. This month will [...]
Share…may have just come to an end! Surprise, surprise, look at what greeted me right in my (our) own backyard: Found in True Value Nuvali, my new favorite hang out place in Solenad 2. What I have my eye on: Good buy already at P4,199.75 ! I asked around and friends who have the [...]
ShareApart from being a beloved venue for Handmade Art Fairs in Quezon City, 10A Alabama is home to Resurrection Furniture and Found Object Gallery, where Leah Sanchez and Binggoy Panlilio play, play, play with old furniture and odd pieces that they bring back from the dead: Well worth a visit for any green enthusiast. I’ve [...]
ShareToday was the deadliest deadline I set for the house, but despite best efforts from everyone, the house just needed more time for finishing. To manage expectations, I’ve already accepted a February 2012 move-in date — almost a year behind my original intended date of May 2011. As they say though, good things come to [...]
ShareOur happy find yesterday: Beautiful tiles in such fun, fun patterns and colors! I’ve long been a fan of these “painted” tiles– which I mistakenly thought of as Vigan tiles– and first re-encountered them in a boutique shop in Cambodia last March 2011: My friends and I fell in love with that place (we put [...]
ShareSharing for interest Saw these at the same lighting shop in Binondo. Garden sets are my least priority, but mom said this one is already cheap at P6,800. Does anyone know where to get nice, reasonably-priced ceiling fans? This one’s a bit bulky for my space. My brother said he saw nice steel-wood ones in Home [...]
ShareTook a trip to Binondo with my architect-contractors, Paul and Rommel, to once and for all see the bargain finds for the house that they’ve been raving about. We went to a lighting shop on T. Alonzo Street… …where Rommel excitedly showed me the LED pin lights he planned to use for my house. Each [...]
ShareI’ve asked permission from a friend if I could post her research on indoor vertical gardens as a guest post here. We had such a lively discussion about them over lunch a month ago– it was great finding a kindred green spirit right in Nuvali itself! Am sure many others out there will resonate with [...]
Share Found in Binondo last Saturday! Price was slashed from P850. Such a steal. Got four for the roofdeck and two for my front porch. Will be good for ambient lighting at less than 1 watt per lamp. More on lighting and fixtures shopping Binondo later. Tweet
ShareHere’s the house as of last Sunday, November 11, showing partially primed exterior and interior walls. My family is not so sure that it will be ready in a month, but my architect keeps assuring me that I will get to have my birthday picnic on my roofdeck come mid-December. I have faith. For now, [...]
Share A quick post to give you all a heads up on a super sale at the Megatent in Ortigas– we went there last night (2nd to the last day!) and were so happy with the promo terms we got. Refrigerator, aircon, washing machine all checked off my list now. If you’re looking to buy [...]
ShareNormally I ignore promo emails, but any ad on buying appliances on installment at 0% interest will make any homebuilder stop and listen. Big ticket items on my appliances checklist: Washing machine refrigerator airconditioners Gadgets particular to raw food: vitamix dehydrator Now you know what’s on my Christmas and birthday wish lists. What’s on yours? [...]
