My new favorite spot
Couple a weeks ago, while purging their home and looking for space for the new gardening hobbie, sis and brother-in-law gave me two Adironrack chairs. It was one of their first purchases when they got together and now I owned them . Slowly I have move away from my bed, the comand central of my life, to the balcony. I have return to an old vice, magazine reading, and enjoyed supper just watching the cars pass by ( quite entertaining). Carmela likes it because, even when I don't think and dazed off, I pet her ears and nose. So with the hope that soon somebody will fill the chair to the right, just like Tania and Figu sealed their relationship talking until the wee hours, I chill and thank the Upper Management upstairs for the simple pleasures of my life..

City Sophisticate
I took a quiz to know my home style and by picking my tastes and preferences, apparently I'm City Sophisticate. This makes total sense b/c I live in the city and my tastes are pretty high end (just ask my wallet, never fails).
So try yourself here and let me know your style
Enjoy!
CITY SOPHISTICATE
You love the variety and bustle of city living and embrace all that modern living has to offer. Your home reflects the way we live our lives today as well as your own personal taste and individuality. It's a clean, easy look that shows off key pieces of furniture and accessories to maximum effect.
Living Room
You have a comfortably contemporary living room. The danger with the 'modern look' is that it too easily falls into the realm of the bland and insipid; 'easy' gets confused with 'careless' and the result is just downright dull! Perhaps of all the rooms in our homes, the living room can be the one that most expresses your sense of style and your interests. Think, too, about how and when you will most use the room. For example, do you want it light and airy or warm and cosy? Against quite an anonymous backdrop you can show off some alluring accessories to great effect that are girly yet grown-up and winningly winsome. Dark colours work well if you use the room mainly during the evenings and at night, while eclectic black and white make for a bold, yet chic statement. There are few things more luxurious than a sneaky afternoon nap, dozing off in your favourite spot in the living room.
Bedroom
Your bedroom has that classic look that never goes out of style. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. In busy towns and cities, noise can often hamper a good night's sleep. Soft furnishings really do absorb sound, and touch is such an important sense in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. Elegance and relative simplicity are keynotes in your bedroom, using the timeless approach of layering white on white to serene effect.
Dining Room
You're a maverick, blending a melting-pot style that's all your own. At home, the pleasure you take in your 'pick 'n' mix' approach to decorating gives the dining space a 'pot luck' sense of fun. The dining table is the perfect place for you to show off your kaleidoscopic approach to interior design and decoration: cups, saucers, plates and glasses of different colours, shapes and sizes can look vibrant and fun when executed with flair: just don't go overboard or try too hard. When it comes to entertaining, you like to aim for maximum impact with minimum hassle.
Home Office
You have a place for everything and everything has its place. Gone are the days when the home PC was the preserve of nerdy geeks. These days, most of us need a home office: a simple table and chair in one corner of the room with adjustable task lighting and adequate filing is all it takes (and may be all the space you can afford). The modernist adage that form should follow function is nowhere better demonstrated than in the home office: keep things simple and add your own sense of style by using a splash of colour or a single, well-chosen decorative piece.
Conclusion
Your home is modern and quietly confident: just like you!

Today's lesson
Door painting didn't go too well. I didn't know that you need to paint an oil based paint with a brush. I tried Carla's method. Have to start over and buy more paint
