Re-designing our Condo

The other night I wasn't able to sleep at all, and the morning after I realized that it was because of the Bread Talk Hot Chocolate laced with Espresso. I rarely drink coffee so drinking espresso has killed my hopes in getting good sleep that night.

My mind in those grueling moments went overdrive. I couldn't think of anything except design ideas for our home. I wanted a new layout for our bedroom. Wanted new modern furniture for our dining area. Wanted new lights as well. Wallpaper for all or if not, most of our walls. Wanted a major overhaul.

The next day, as soon as I realized the sun was up and that the husband was half-awake, I suddenly bombarded him with my design ideas. I also told him that I will pursue my interior design formal studies and set up a design firm (Atelier Pineda? hehehe). I love designing and I wouldn't mind working if this will be my work.

I think there was some kind of osmosis because surprisingly, he agreed with me in all aspects. We stood up, went to our living room and he just kept spring cleaning the area. Then we talked about major renovations. The floors, the walls, lighting, and yes, the cabinets in both rooms. Plus cabinets in the bathrooms as well. Oh and yes, the utility room too. Major overhaul, hahaha.

I told him we cannot do it in one go (though this is ideal) but we have to plan ahead. He said we can stay somewhere in a week while the place is being renovated. We'll see. In the meantime, he told me to just make a master plan and design layout. This is probably going to be my first ultimate design endeavor!
