Home Redesign for 2013

I plan to redesign our home this 2013. yes, for the longest time I wanted to do this, but due to other priorities, this plan was shelved. This year, I really really hope this will come into fruition.

I was a bit (ok a lot) disappointed that our kitchen renovation didn't push through last December. And Now it seems that my white kitchen will be delayed, for a few more weeks (or even, *gasp* months!). However, I think that things happen for a reason, and I believe that my white kitchen will come to Mama at the right time.

Anyways, back to the home design. I am sooo torn between two seemingly the same, but altogether designs, by Tina Periquet and Ivy & Cynthia Almario. They are my favorite interior designers, really. How I wish I have their design minds, hahaha.

Anyway, here's my inspiration from Tina Periquet. I saw this Parisian-style condo design from Condo Living magazine. I so love it. very put together, very Parisian....

The overall design looks so put together, noh?

The second design is from Ivy & Cynthia Almario. I love the colors used: champagne for the living and dining areas, then subdued colors in the private areas...

Imagine entering this soothing bedroom with tabac cologne scent in the air!

I'm now inspired to have my kitchen done like this:

Argh. Super torn. Although I really like the overall put-together-ness of the design of Tina Periquet, I'm in love with the colors and mood of the interiors made by the Almario sisters.

Any which way, I want to have a home that's more homey, something that not only I, but both my daughter and husband will look forward to going home to.
