THE BRIGHT SPOT

Feeling Christmas

09.07.2011 by Leah //

The “ber” months are here!   And I am already looking forward to decorating our apartment (I promised myself I won’t go overboard).    Red and gold are the color palettes I’m currently working with (but this could still change, depending on my mood hehe).

One thing for sure, we won’t be having a Christmas tree.   I just don’t think it’s practical to buy one, given our limited storage space.   So I’m thinking of the following instead:

Throw pillows!    Red throw pillows tied and decorated with festive ribbons are cool and very practical (you can re-use the red pillows for the valentine’s).

Christmas balls in mantle glass / glass jars.    Very chic and will make a good conversation piece.     I am loving this one from Tatertots and Jello.  They’re actually ruffle balls made for Valentine’s Day.  I think it’ll be great with Christmas balls too!

I wonder though if there are Moroccan-inspired glass jar at Dapitan Arcade?   There are big glass jars available at Landmark and SM but I want something close to this.  (note to self:  start looking for pretty glass jars, preferrably with top covers)

Yuletide pictures in frames.    I love paintings in frames.   I want some too, depicting the Christmas season like this art print by Dan Campanelli circa 1990.    They’ll look good with gold frames.

Glittery fabrics for curtains.   I am thinking of Indian sari fabric as Christmas curtains, because they they have rich,glittery colors and the texture is very soft, almost georgette-like.   I found this one being sold at eBay, but it’s in UK huhu.   It’s in a very beautiful maroon color, with delicate floral details.

On the other hand, this silk cream curtain with bold red damask pattern looks very contemporary yet versatile (available at curtainscurtains.co.uk):

How about you?    Have you started planning for your holiday home decors?   Share to us your design ideas!

I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
