BLIMS Fine Furniture Celebrates 40th Year

     Hello everyone! My apologies for not posting lately because we just moved back to our permanent address after one year of living in a condo. I don't have a stable internet connection the past weeks because of the line transfer. Anyhoo, we have decided to make improvements in our permanent address because there are so many things to 'fix' in my husband's house that was built thirty years ago.

     House renovation is not an easy task. There are so many things to consider like the plan, design, budget, appliances, and furniture. Speaking of furniture, we had a hard time choosing the right furniture for our house theme which is modern classic minimalist. If you're like me who considers investing on furniture, then there's one name you can depend on- BLIMS Fine Furniture! They recently celebrated their 40th year and I'm excited to share the highlights of the celebration below.

BLIMS Fine Furniture Celebrates 40th Year 

Robinsons Department Store Go Lokal! Store

     When was the last time you brought something Filipino? Products that will fall under the category "proudly made in the Philippines?" I'm guilty of not patronizing Philippine-made products and the last time I bought one was years ago not for myself but for my cousins who live abroad. 

     Robinsons Department Store, in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) opened last week the first Go Lokal! store in Robinsons Place Manila. You will find local products ranging from bags, accessories, t-shirts, shoes, accessories, decors and displays, and many novelty items that are proudly Pinoy. More details on Robinsons Department Store Go Lokal after the jump :)

Feature: Homtime Alarm Clocks

     Last week, I was invited to the launch of Homtime products at SMX Convention Center Mall of Asia with other bloggers. We were all excited to see what's in store for us because we're all clueless on what kind of products they are launching. I really have no idea what Homtime is when I received the invite weeks ago. I thought they will unveil furniture and home accessories on the launch.

     They say great things come in small packages, and this comes true in the form of Homtime digital alarm clocks. Homtime is a Shanghai-based company that has been producing electronic for years, and is now making innovative clock technology that complements people’s bedside lifestyles. I'll just make the introduction short, so without further ado more details on Homtime.

How to Make Your Home a More Entertaining Place

     Modern homes are much more than places to shelter and rest. They’ve become a place to be entertained and to entertain other people such as family members and friends. When it comes to entertainment features in a modern home, the only limitation is your imagination. The latest technologies and home entertainment-related products give home owners a wide range of options which were not available for previous generations. These are some popular ways to make your home a more entertaining place to spend your time in. 

How to Make Your Home a More Entertaining Place

Create a Games Room

     If you have the space in your home, converting one of your rooms is the ideal way to create an area dedicated to all types of entertainment. These rooms can be filled with a wide range of traditional game room equipment such as pool tables, dart boards and much more. More modern gaming products could also be added for the gamers in your home such as gaming systems, consoles and gaming chairs. Finally, this room could also be used as an alternative room to watch TV, listen to music and relax.

Install High Speed Broadband

     The internet is playing a bigger role in all of our lives including the way we spend our free time. Installing a fast internet solution such as AT&T U-verse in San Francisco gives a home owner many more options when it comes to the entertainment they have access to. You can choose bundle options that let you view hundreds of HD TV channels, play games, use the internet more effectively and much more.

Install a Bar

     This is an entertainment feature for the adults in your home. If you entertain friends and family on a regular basis, a bar is a feature which makes it much easier to host these get-togethers. Having a specific area to relax and drink your favorite beverages is a much more organized way to host guests rather than using different areas of your home.

Make Your Patio and Garden More Entertaining

     Home owners are not restricted to entertaining indoors. Patios and gardens are the perfect places to relax and entertain others, especially during warmer months of the year. However, these outdoor areas need to have certain features which make them more welcoming and comfortable for you, your family and your guests. 

     Adding features like outdoor furniture, outdoor heating systems, barbeque grills and outdoor bars are just some of the ways you can transform the outside of your home. If you have the space outside and the budget, a pool adds even more to the outside area of a home.

     Most people live busy lives, trying to balance work and family life. There are times when you simply want to take your mind off things at home. Having a home that includes a wide range of entertainment features is the perfect way to do this without having to leave your home. Adding the entertainment features mentioned above also makes your home a much better place to entertain other people including young and old individuals.

Expand Your Living Space this New Year with Innovation Sofa Beds

     New year, new life, new work and for some new home. A home is more than just a house we live in, it’s a living space where most of our life’s special moments spent with family and close friends happen. We all dream of having a house that we can call our home. With that in mind, Innovation™ does not just create furniture, they create a lifestyle. And with the rising Philippine economy, we also see a continuous trend of high-rise buildings and condominiums where space is a luxury. 

     I have a friend who invested in a condominium unit somewhere in Quezon City and she told me that the only problem with most condominium units is the space- most have limited space. Even if you want to add some furniture to make the space not just a sleeping quarter, it's a pain to give it a decent partition because in reality most condo units will make you put-all-the-parts-of-the-house in one place. So to maintain the quality of living, people are looking for lifestyle hacks in condominiums to expand their living space but still adhere to their personal style and provide them with functionality. This is the primary aim of Innovation™ - to produce furniture that makes a difference in everyday life. I was invited to an intimate gathering last year and learned useful information on how to save space and money with Innovation Sofa Beds. More highlights of the event below :)

Expand Your Living Space this New Year with Innovation Sofa Beds

Brief History of Innovation™ Sofabeds

     Innovation™ was founded in 1971 in Randers, Denmark. The Head of Design is the Danish architect Per Weiss, who is responsible for the concept and design of the collections. Per Weiss has a holistic approach to design, working with industrial and textile design, but also with visual presentations and images in catalogues, at fairs and events.

     Innovation™’s core product are multi-fuctional sofas or what we commonly call as Sofabeds, which is central to the idea of maximizing space in small living rooms such as those in condominiums or even simply for the purpose of practicality. I presume some of you have seen a Sofabed already but wait Innovation Sofabeds are way different from what you usually see in the furniture stores around the metro. 

Here are the five reasons why I highly recommend Innovation™ sofabeds:

1. Aside from its original Danish design, Innovation™ sofabeds are known for their innovative “pocket springs” for sofabed cushions similar to mattresses, but better. It ensures durability for the long term and comfort for the customers. Innovation offers a wide range of mattresses with different preferences. There are three types: Spring Mattress 6-12 cm, Spring Mattress 13-16 cm and Latex Mattress.

2. Innovation™ Sofabeds have large fabric selection with some limited edition fabrics. These are the reasons why Innovation takes pride in their quality and design. There are sofa beds that can be customized according to your chosen fabrics. THE GOOD= Same price as the original value of the chosen model. All you have to do for customization is to choose the fabric and they will send the sofa bed back to Denmark. The fabrics that they're offering have great texture, some are scratch-proof and durable.

3. Production and service is essential as well. They have a certified environmental profile, which is handed out on demand. All recyclable waste like cardboard, plastic, iron and metal is separated and used in other productions. Residual, combustible waste is incinerated in low-pollution plants. Packaging is reduced to a minimum and the quantities needed for safe transportation are either reused or incinerated to produce energy.

4. Design Collection. Innovation™ sofabeds have four collections that suits your personality. I'm sure that one from the design will fit your lifestyle and your taste when it comes to mix and match theme of your condo units. 

a. The Scandinavian Touch- A collection of products that reflects the new Nordic sensitivity. Designs defined by the combination of Wooden legs and an understated upholstery character

b. Mid-Century Modern- Midcentury Modern is a collection of products inspired by the great epoch in the history of design, which stretched from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s

d. Istyle Classics- A collection of functional, durable, modern quality furniture based on the Scandinavian interpretation of functionalism

5. Functionality. These sofabeds functions as a sofa where you watch, work, and wonder; as a day bed where you can relax, recharge, and rejuvenate; as a bed to stretch out, sleep, and slumber IN A VERY FAST and EASY WAY. They even come equipped with four innovative mechanisms such as: Click, Lift, Flip, and Slide which transforms a sofa into a sofabed.

     During the intimate event with other bloggers, we were grouped into three and we were tasked to design our own space using Innovation™ sofabeds and furniture. I was teamed-up with Rodel Flordeliz and we designed our chosen sofa by adding a green accent to one of the default sofa designs inside the showroom.

     Thank you so much Innovation™ and Digital Circles for having me. I learned a lot during the event with the tips that was shared to us by Innovation™ home and for this fun game that brought out our creativity and made inspired us on designing our own theme and dream sofas.

Dunlopillo Moments at Ital Design Showroom Launch

     Last week, I was invited to the Dunlopillo Moments launch in Ital Design Showroon at BGC. I have no idea what to expect but as what the invite said, the launch will feature designs that will showcase Dunlopillo mattresses. For a stay-at-home mom like me who always lacks seven-eight hours of sleep, seeing luxurious mattresses takes me to dreamland. 

     An expert on luxury in the home, Dunlopillo is the perfect partner for Ital Design, whose elegant yet uniquely designed bedroom vignettes provide an inspiring display of mattresses and furniture pieces for a variety of customers. Since 2003, Ital Design has been carrying exclusive European and Asian designed furniture and fixtures, ranging from mid-range to high-end offerings in designs that settle for no less than first-class quality and apparent individuality. 

Dunlopillo Moments at Ital Design Showroom Launch

     Dunlopillo is known for its thoughtfully engineered mattresses and has created for itself a legacy of comfort through the years. I've learned that their latex boasts of being the best in the world, providing unparalleled support and high elasticity. They are also known for making the best mattresses in the world because of its unique characteristics:

• The exceptional air ventilation and breathability for ideal temperature control. 
• To prevent the growth and spread of bacteria, the mattresses incorporate the use of silver,  
• For minimal partner disturbance, its springs are designed to ensure uninterrupted slumber.

Dunlopillo Tala Silver
Silver has long been proven to possess antibacterial properties. Harnessing Nano Silver Technology, Dunlopillo infuses minute silver particles within their mattresses. This Tala Silver Latex kills and prevents the growth and spread of bacteria, dust mites, and other harmful organisms.

     Ital Design’s Managing Director, Jam Chan, is enthusiastic about their newly renovated showroom at MC Home Depot in Bonifacio Global City. “Instead of doing a cluttered display of mattresses, we decided to play with the store and make it more visually appealing to our clients.” Ten decorated vignettes of different themes are on display to encourage customers to imagine the possibilities the mattresses and furniture hold.

     Among the ten vignettes on display, my heart skipped when I saw a red-themed bedroom that's so chic and screams lipstick. This is called The Crimson: Whether it be statement lipstick or a generous splash on the wall, no other color elicits excitement like a bright, unabashed red. In an interesting opposition to the usual use of this brave hue, white serves as the accent ‘pop color’ to offset the sea of red.

Dunlopillo Moments at Ital Design Showroom Launch

     Another design that I'm rooting that day was the Split Peas. Reflect boy and girl twins even in one room. Get creative and split the room right down the middle. Adorn the girl’s side with softer, feminine colors. As for the boy’s side, use more masculine hues and a pull out bed for sleepovers.

     Each vignette has its own style, function, and personality. Chan emphasizes, “We want our customers to feel that their bedroom is a truly personalized space.” The showroom is designed to equip customers to build the bedrooms of their dreams. 

     Thank you so much Dunlopillo and ARC Pr for having me. The ten vignettes truly gave me an idea on how to design our soon too be themed bedroom.  Truly a creative space where every customer can find inspiration for the home, the new Ital Design showroom is a great space where the best sleeping solutions meet the best of interior design.

CFL or LED: Which is the better light for you?

     Because of the ever increasing price of commodities, we all need to be smart in choosing the products that we buy. Quality over quantity. With lots of attributes to consider, which is really better for you? Let’s scale it down.

CFL or LED: Which is the better light for you?

CFL

• CFL also known as compact fluorescent is your mini version of a standard fluorescent light bulb.
• CFL gives lighting efficiency and has been used for decades now and it has graced our homes as it fits perfectly in an ordinary socket without using an adaptor.
• CFLs normally takes a few moments to warm up and reach its full brightness.
• However, CFLs contain a small amount of mercury which normally does not cause any hazard but if the bulb breaks accidentally, that’s where the problem comes in. Mercury has been banned in the medical field due to its harmful effect on human health.
• Regular CFL bulbs lasts up to 6000 hours
• Average energy use per year: 767 KWh/yr
• Average cost in the Philippines: Php 125 to 300

LED

• LED or Light Emitting Diodes was introduce several years back with the promise of lowering your electric bill. 
• According to the study made by Lighting Research Center, LED light bulbs work by bringing together currents with a positive and negative charge to create energy released in the form of light. The result of this is a fast source of light that is reliable and instantaneous.
• LED bulbs also fits an ordinary socket without the need of an adaptor and it bright up as soon as you switch it on.
• LED bulbs is considered good for the environment and are endorsed by green movements.
• LED bulbs generally cost more to buy although manufacturing technologies are lowering these prices as we move along.
• Regular LED lasts anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 hours.
• Average energy use per year: 329 KWh/yr
• Average cost in the Philippines: Php300 to 800

Equal Factor

     Both serves your lighting needs efficiently. Both fits in sockets of your lamps and fixtures. Meaning, if you don’t consider the chances of your bulb breaking then you would likely choose CFL over LED because of the price difference.

Points to Ponder:

     CFL might cost less but it requires you to buy more bulbs over time whereas LED lights last longer, so even though you’re paying more at purchase, you buy fewer bulbs in the long run.

     Considering the humid weather in the Philippines, we should also consider that CFL bulb emits more heat than LEDbulb, thus, by choosing wisely, you can reduce the heat index in your home.

     Moreover, if you care for the environment, Lower energy consumption decreases carbon dioxide emissions, sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste.

CD-R Kings makes it easier for you to decide

     CD-R King, your one-stop media provider gives you the ease of choosing by taking away the drawback of price difference by making LED bulb available to the General public at a more affordable price.

     This is effort compliments their advocacy in encouraging people to care for the environment during their California e-bike campaign early this year.

     It is also noted that CD-R King offers several choices of LED bulbs with different price range both for personal and industrial use.

Below are some of the choices for regular household use.

Dhalton Home Showroom Launch

     We all have a dream house and we want to make sure that the furniture we invest are timeless pieces that will last a lifetime. Before, investing in luxury furniture and other home accessories can be tricky. You have to carefully select a furniture gallery that will meet your expectations and demands. There are few names in the world of luxury furniture industry and one of the recent addition is the opening of Dhalton Home.

     In Metro Manila, one stand out exception is Dhalton Home, a European-inflected furniture gallery featuring a consolidation of classic and modern designs. The gallery is located in the exclusive old-rich borough of New Manila in Quezon City, a thirty-minute to an hour drive if you’re coming from the south. Now regaining its reign as the most coveted neighborhood in Quezon City with all the sprawling houses and glamorous lifestyle, New Manila perfectly calls Dhalton Home as one of its own. Situated right within the award-winning Robinsons Magnolia complex, it is far from the dross traffic and congestion. But the gallery more than repays the effort of getting here. 

Dhalton Home Showroom Launch

     Dhalton Home showcases superbly crafted furniture pieces, service that is slightly formal and unfailingly gracious, calm and light ambience, and a complimentary consultation service for all its clients. Entering the gallery, you will be welcomed by a doorman, classical music, and seating areas to lounge on. The hues are light sea foam greens, golds, and browns, and the textures are dainty yet regal: exquisite tiles, iron, and light textiles. The interiors are fretted with greens and French doors, and at first sight the gallery calls forth associations that are all sentimental – a lovely Europeanmanor or a garden chateau in a bright sunny season.

Dhalton Home Showroom Launch

     This concept is the vision of its creative director, Geoffrey Chua, whose goal is to make Dhalton Home a world of its own. As an interior designer himself who have worked with numerous A-class clients, he knows how a home can make one feel imperial. So from its brand products to service style, all are designed and planned out to bring a pleasurable furniture buying experience for its patrons. As he did in the overall conceptualization of the gallery, Chua set off on a quest to look for the right designers and manufacturers that would meet the outstanding standards he wants to offer.

     Most of the key pieces are sourced in Denmark where it is carefully designed and set for manufacturing. But what really put its roster of products exceptionally on top are its meticulous details, above quality raw materials and tedious quality-control process. Dhalton puts great value in precision, thus most items are manufactured using top-of-the-line technology and specialized machinery which in turn minimize error and produce superior quality that is evident to the eye. While Dhalton Home also carries products handcrafted locally or in other Asian regions, it follows the same manufacturing standards to stay true to its brand promise of offering only the best to its clients.

     Each Dhalton Home piece is a modern rendition of European charm and classic design aesthetics. The pieces will remind you of those royal manors and luxury estates with dedicated butlers minus the dark hues and bulky furniture. Instead, Dhalton Home pieces are rendered to seamlessly blend with the modern go-go lifestyle of today’s urban dwellers while highlighting their adoration for fine things and sophistication.

     Dhalton Home summarizes that quintessential aspiration of many when it comes to luxury home designing: that is to make every home brilliantly cut-out not just for comfort and style, but to conclude the very persona of its sophisticated, cultured dweller.

• Dhalton Home is far from your regular home store. As a “Furniture Gallery”, all pieces in their store are carefully designed and curated according to the ideals of the brand which stands for modern luxury and elegance. Their pieces are not just products. They are a designer’s sentimental idea, a well-refined craftsmanship, and a masterfully-made creation. 
• Most of the sofas and cabinets are manufactured in Denmark and other parts of Europe, and coordinated with their single supplier in Canada. Items such as the jars and vases are kilned and hand painted in Shanghai. They also have items that are made here locally. Whether they are made in Denmark, China or Philippines, all pieces undergo a rigorous inspection process before it is brought to us. 
• To maintain its precision and consistency, all furniture pieces are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology and specialized machinery which assure an almost zero error rate. Their matchless lacquer finish for instance is an output of an infrared lacquer booth that adds a defined mirror-like finish to all lacquered products. 
• The raw materials of their products are also carefully chosen to come up with the most high-quality pieces that don’t brittle with age. In some accessories, we use Paulownia wood which is resistant to fire, decay and rotting. It is also known for its very light weight and durability. 
• To assist its client in choosing furniture and arranging the total look of their space, Dhalton Home is offering free interior design consultation exclusive to its clients. Customization is limited only to key products. Clients are free to choose from designated fabric swatches or paint color accurately set and provided by the designer himself..

Uratex Premium Mattress Collection Launch

     How do you define a full night's sleep? For me, a sound sleep should be at least six to eight hours and there should not be disturbances in between. If you drink a full glass of water or two before going to bed, chances are you'll be waking up in the wee hours of night to take a pee, right? After this call of nature, is it easy or hard to fall asleep again? For me it's hard! Since we are discussing about sleep and sleeping pattern here, let me share with you the highlights of Uratex Premium Mattress Collection event last May 28 at Mega Atrium.

Declutter Your Home the Mandaue Form Furniture Way!

   Start by sorting through the clutter then classifying it according to two categories: Items you’ll keep or let go. Remember that the reason you declutter is to have a clean and comfortable home. Do it by keeping only household items that you need like things you use on a regular basis and get rid of clutter that’s making your home untidy.

   For things that you no longer need: you can donate, sell or dispose it. Be it back issues of magazines or clothes you’ve outgrown, let go of unnecessary items that would only turn into a clutter. 

   For household items you’ll keep, organize it accordingly with the storage pieces like cabinets, bookcases, racks and wardrobes. These items allow you to put every item in place and utilize space for other furniture pieces. If every item in your home is organized, it will be a lot easier for you to find things you need for you know exactly where you can find it. 

   One great rule in decluttering is to sort out things one at a time. Start with a room in your home then you can take it from there. You might encounter hurdles like letting go of household items you have for years but when you do it little by little, it will be easy to decide on what to keep and what not as you go along the way.

   By decluttering, you can let go of what you don’t need, leaving only a sanctuary that invigorates and gives peace of mind – the house you’d love to come home to.

   Mandaue Foam Furniture Store offers a wide variety of storage items like cabinets, bureau drawers, wardrobe, racks and bookcases.
