My mom is very passionate about house decorations and designs. She has a taste for classic and elegant style. One of the reasons why we bought our house is its classic lay out, high ceiling, French doors and windows, huge portals, artistic landing, and its white wall interior illuminated with strong natural light. She already had ideal fixtures and furniture in mind the first time we saw it. She said we need heavy medieval draperies and decorative and efficient lamps. Lightings add a lot of drama to a room.

When we bought the house we didn’t waste time shopping for appliances, furniture and fixtures. We bought those Victorian-inspired chaise longue for the living room. I remember we spent a lot of time choosing the right kind of lamps and lampshades to match them. During late afternoon when the drapes are down, these lamps are turned on to create a tranquil and homey ambience in the room. For the study, we got a small desk lamp so as not to strain our eyes. I love the torchieres we installed on each post at the front of the house. It illumines the whole house in the evening.

It was tiring yet a happy experience for us. We love decorating and are always on the look out for new and upcoming designs. From time to time we would browse on the internet to check out new designs and get creative ideas on how to give the house a new look. Everyday, I look forward to coming home and be with my family. There’s no place like home, indeed!
