my masterpiece...


" my favorite place in the apartment..."
by grace thompson



plane brown wood.. our mini office...

what i have in mind is...

change the color of the desk to match the file cabinet...

get a black computer chair...

put up a bookshelf...

some nice area rug and throw pillows...

flowers near the window or on the windowsil..

and a good color curtain that matches a little bit of everything in the living room....

planning stage...
after painting the desk...
after putting it all together...

white bookshelf is bought from craigslist... sold to us for 15$..

looks brand new... in walmart, that will cost 24$...

the throw pillow is made from... old regular pillow cut into two... stuffed it

inside the pillow case i brought from the Philippines (costs 2$)...

if you buy throw pillows in the market, it will cost you 7$ each the least...

hubby's old black trunk used as luggage in the army is turned into a mini chair

covered with an Old MALONG i brought from the Philppines...
