Romantic dinners

mitch — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:10:20 +0000

The economy is really getting into my nerves. My husband and I were in the middle of budgeting when I blurted out that we don’t even have extra money just to go on a dinner date. My husband really laughed at me. Yesterday, I came early from work only to find that the kids were in my in-laws. My husband welcomed me with a kiss as usual but there was something sneaky in the way he smiles. When I told him I’ll cook dinner, he said he needs to talk about something so we went into the yard. Out there was a candle lit setup of dinner. The iron patio furniture and swing were even showered with red and pink rose petals. It was my husband’s version of dinner date!

Types of interior shutters you should consider

mitch — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 12:06:08 +0000

I’ve been a mom for more than 40 years (no divulging of age!). Anyway, my point is that I want to share what I’ve learned about housekeeping. There are two types of interior shutters that you should consider in this lifetime. I think you should just go for vinyl when you really don’t have the budget for shutters/”>interior shutters. You know, the emergency situations when your shutters fail on you when you most need it. Wood interior shutters, on the other hand, should be your choice if you have the budget. They really last well. The downside is that you might have to varnish or repaint them to make them look always new.

Classic appeal

mitch — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:34:47 +0000

We have this very difficult client that we didn’t want to work with anymore. Oh well, we just wished we could do it. The god thing about her is that she often recommends us to other friends who also need interior designing. The last project I handled for her is a small hotel at the country. She wants to have a classic looking interiors but at the same time attain a minimalist look. However, she required us to use the traditional wood plantation shutters you’ll find in most Southern homes. She’s a very picky customer but I guess we were able to capture the classic appeal she was looking for.

Help from friends

mitch — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 06:51:12 +0000

You know, I recently found out that I have the best bunch of friends in the whole wide world! I was getting so worried because the office I work in is moving to a smaller furniture“>office space. Since it’s a small office, we juggle multi-tasking a lot. I was assigned to map out the positioning of the furniture. It was very hard because we have bulky office furniture. I don’t even have any background in interior design. When I told my friends about it over beer, they laughed at me saying that there is modular office furniture that I can use to replace old cubicles. I told my boss about it and she says it’s okay. She also agreed to hire a freelance interior designer.

Wood maintenance

mitch — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:31:21 +0000

My mom’s small inn is up for a renovation next week. So, we had to be there just to ensure that she has help whenever she needs it. I drove in early to the inn yesterday and was caught by surprise. There were a lot of bed headboards in the reception area of the inn. The small conference room became the storage of bed frames. I got so curious because I can’t find the logic of separating the bed headboards from the frame. It turns out, my mom is having them re varnished and probably do some carvings to make them look new.

Emergencies

mitch — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 10:26:34 +0000

My friends and I decided to finish our school project at my classmate’s house. We were so busy that we forgot about time. When I called my mom to pick me up, she says she’s already getting worried of me not yet home because there was heavy snow. I looked out in the windows and it was true. Apparently, we got so warmed up at my friend’s house that we didn’t notice of the blizzard. We were forced to stay at my friend’s house for the night since it’s too dangerous to travel. My mom arranged to pick up early in the morn so I could prepare for school the next day. Good thing my friend has spare cot bed mattress and beds for the whole group.

Sleeping over because of work

mitch — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:22:53 +0000

My best friend and colleague at work Sheena let me stayed for the night yesterday. We got so much stuff to finish at work so we had to extend working hours. It was until around 2 a.m. when we finished. She said I should just pass the day at her house which was just a shirt drive away. I slept at her mother’s room because her parents are away for the week. I told her I had a very good night sleep last night. I ws even wondering if there was something special in the bed or I’m just dead tired. She told me her parents use luxury mattress because of old age. I think that’s the difference.

Cleaning up

mitch — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:21:53 +0000

My mother has been complaining that my room is a jungle. Every time she picks up the laundry basket from my room, she goes into a long-day litany of how “clean” my room was. So after several convincing with myself, I finally decided to give my room a breather yesterday. I started with everything that’s on the floor. You can just guess how messy my room is. It was around five in the afternoon when I finally got to the content of every oak bedroom furniture pieces I have. Ending line? It took me until 10 in the evening to clean up the entire room. Imagine the shock of my mom the next day.

Outdoor innovations

mitch — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:12:16 +0000

My kids seem to be spending a lot more time in the yard. My husband thinks that we should get them new iron patio furniture to make them more comfortable. After all, they would probably outgrow their plastic chairs and toys soon. I’m thinking of getting them an iron swing as well. That way, they could enjoy afternoons lazing in the swing. But I guess, I have to wait until my youngest, Rob, turns seven. That way I would have peace of mind that he won’t get into any messy accident with the swing. Honestly, I wasn’t really into outdoor activities when I was younger so I’m getting surprised that I know these outdoor innovations.

When necessity calls for it

mitch — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:11:02 +0000

You can say that I am not a woman that can be relied on the house. I really am not the homebody type. You can just imagine the changes I’ve gone through when I settled down with my husband. The fact that we have our own house made the task even more challenging for me. I remember the first week of shopping for stuffs in the house. I went to a home improvement store which my mom says has friendly staffs. I asked for interior shutters and the attendant showed me lots of them. I didn’t even know what I need! Good thing the staffs there are very helpful.
