Home Decor Inspiration: Open Floor

Planning an interior home decor is both exciting and exhausting. With a limited budget to work with, we wanted to be able to come up with a home design that is as close to our vision as possible but at the same time keep it within reasonable means. Pinterest has been exceptionally helpful when coming up with ideas and drawing inspiration from existing home designs, especially interior decor. Hence, I beg pardon in advance for anyone following me on Pinterest if I tend to overload on home decor images on my feed (sorry not sorry).

One floor plan design that we are currently looking into is the open floor design. We have a limited amount of space to work with; hence, an open floor design is a practical solution to save space. As it turns out, it provides a homey and cozy atmosphere within the home when done correctly. Below are some of the decor inspiration we have been looking at and are hoping to copy soon:

 

Oh, the glass doors and walls, wooden floor, and high ceiling... we can't wait to get the building process started!

Where do you get home decor inspiration for your own home?

 

Life Lately: Instagram & Pinterest

What a week that was! Can you believe June is over? I can't either! This year has been quite a thrill for me... one surprise followed by another. Several opportunities came my way, too, that it is only fitting that I stop, reflect and be thankful for the days gone. Allow me to share with you my favorite memories recently as seen through my Instagram account (you can connect with me @abj_castro)

#1 - June started off with me receiving a lovely package from Persunmall. My order has arrived sooner than expected. And of course, I styled my new items as featured on this post. 

#2 - Celebrated my niece's 4th birthday. Kids grow up so fast! I can't believe she is 4 already!!

#3 - Yes, I do selfies now. Moving on...

#4 - Finally got my own shirt from Hiraya Minokawa. It is a custom made shirt from their dragon boat team and the boyf ordered a shirt for me, although technically these shirts are only for members of the team. I could only wish...

#5 - Pool time on a weekday is a priceless gift.

#6 - Finally got to visit my alma mater - University of the Philippines in Mindanao. 

Meanwhile, here are some inspiration and/or wisdom that I'd like to share with you. Pinterest is such an addictive place to be in. Seriously, I could spend hours to no end just pinning these lovely quotes. I hope these would enlighten your day. And oh, make my day too by following me on my Pinterest account here. Happy pinning!

...and lastly:

How's your week doing so far?
