Maybe it’s because I’m getting older.  Recently, I’ve been looking at a lot of properties that I can invest in.  Some time last year, I started renting my own place and it wasn’t until my father passed away did I realize I’ve been throwing away my money.  I know. For people who thought I was that smart, think again.  Haha.

I’ve been browsing Freshome a lot, and it’s actually one of my favorite websites.  It’s filled with interior design ideas, modern architecture and bits of inspiration for those who was to DIY stylize their home.

Remember that egg bathtub I mentioned a while back?  Well, I still want it soooo bad.  Then I looked at Freshome again, and saw more things I want.

I seem to want too much.  But hey, a girl can dream right? :)

Take for example this small Swedish apartment featured in Alvhem.  Its fantastic design made 37.5 square meters matter so much.

Everything is so white and quaint; perfect for a little lady like me.  I like the fact that it looks good enough for a couple to be in.  It does need a handful of manly touches but the way the space was utilized, it looks very easy to maintain.

Did I tell you I love gray?  I just love gray tones.  They’re very relaxing and cozy.  The pops of color are just the right amount to make this small space very homey.

Even the dining area is cute!  I’m now thinking of other seating alternatives to make dining more comfortable.  Steel legs may spell out sleek and minimalist, but they don’t really say “stay here and eat slowly.”  For those who know me well, eating for me is always a long activity.  That’s where conversations are at their best.

I wonder if there will ever be smartly-utilized and chic stylized apartments in the Philippines like this one.  Like I said, a girl can dream right?

For more design inspirations, head to Freshome.  Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
