Just some June updates

Whew! My big sis and her family will be going back to Europe again (they’re leaving for Manila early tomorrow) and their one-month Philippine vacation will be ending soon. Sigh. I will be missing them sooo much!

They’re here at home for a two-week stay, and too bad we were not able to tour them around that much as the kids got sick the first few days they were here. Rj and Az got some tummy aches and headaches. Thank God they’re better the following days. Vitamin C, medicine and lots of rest plus proper eating habits made them well.

Home design consistency

Ever walked into a home and go dizzy with the mix of different textures and materials for the finish? Variety is good but one doesn’t have to go overboard. You walk into the living room and see the flooring in ceramic tiles, then you go to the kichen and step into linoleum. Design experts recommend consistency with the flooring materials. Yes, the style of the tiles and the colors can be mixed but the materials used should be consistent. Few flooring materials can be good for accent though, but having an assortment of different tiles such as granite, wood, marble, slate and other materials on different parts of the house often results to an overall design clash.
