Dressing Up My Living Room

The challenge of living in a small home is how to make all furniture you needed fit on a limited space. 

Last month,  I bought this two seater wooden sofa. I did not opt for that one with pullout as it is more expensive. I am glad I found these native looking boxes. Tartan tapes livens them up under the couch. 

Most of all.. I am happy to have found these big storage boxes I can use as bench. 

Side view.. view from the kitchen. The two bedroom condo may not be perfect, yet it is one I can call .. home. 

Living in a Small Home

The challenge in living a small home is how to make everything fit and still look and feel cozy while you are home. That is of course, not having to worry about spending much to make your place look good. I would like to say thank you to some blogger friends who have been posting links on how to live and decorate small homes.

I added picture frame and hang red wall clock on the window grill in my living room. I added two throw pillows on top of the brown ottoman. The ottoman is great to store some of my things.  

Other function of this shoe cabinet is for some nicknacks. Hopefully, I would have a budget soon for a new couch where I could lie down while watching television. 

One of my hobbies on my day off from work is watching tv, while the washing machine is churning. I changed the electric fan here. It used to be a white stand fan. There is no provision for AC in my living room, just in the two bed rooms. 

Glad to have the wenge bookself in lieu of small shelves. It gives illusion making my living room looks bigger. I hang a mirror on the closet using scratch free hook with nicknacks on top that serves as decor.

The closet serves as divider, to the living room and small kitchen area. 

My place may not be as luxurious as others may have, but it is place I can call... my home. Have a great day, folks! :)

Day Off

Once, I was asked by an office mate what kept me busy during my day off? Well, first thing, keeping my home in order to make it a cool place to stay. Living in a small home, I have to make things organize. I have lots of things in my home. I tried to keep them in order to give room for space. There are pros and cons living in small home.  It is easy to clean and maintain, due to small space. Organizing is a bit of a challenge.  

Emptying the laundry basket is another activity that kept me busy on day off. I do not want to go laundry shop.  I have some friends who complained about declining the number of their clothes.  My clothes are not designers’ clothing but are precious to me. I do not want to give them away unless I am giving to charity.

Best of all, my day off is time for my computer and my television.  I thank my youngest bro and sister in law, for pushing me to learn computer.  I learned it on my own. I did not have formal education in a computer school.  When I learned it, I simply could not get this machine off my hobby.  My computer paved the way of getting me a job.  Internet is add-on to my computer knowledge.  It is my window to the world.
