It's been awhile since my last blog post. We were on a family vacation, our first time to take the kids out of our country. Hong Kong was lovely, we stayed at an apartment with a breath- taking view of the harbor. I couldn't help but wish I had that scenery to wake up to. Our gracious hosts are family friends and they spoiled us with great food, company and comfortable accommodations. Our children were pretty much the same age so Disney Land was twice the fun. One of the things I looked ... continue reading...
How to Use Bookshelves as a Design Feature for the Home
We are currently building a house and I am so excited about designing it.

I had to finish the actual furniture selection so I can give the concept to my staff for 3d renders. Some of the pieces will be custom made while other stores I will be ... continue reading...
Tacloban Prevails, a Furniture and Accessory Line Made from the Ruins of Haiyan.
I received an email with information on a phenomenal idea called Tacloban Prevails. I was so moved by this brilliant endeavor and couldn't wait to share it with all of you. Tacloban Prevails is a brand and system that grants a second life to debris and wreckage from the typhoon Yolanda, internationally known as Haiyan. The good thing about this is that they actually benefit the families victimized by this disaster. Raw material or the so-called junk is purchased from the family and with the ... continue reading...
