Had the chance to take some pic of the lola’s old rustic flat iron. Wilth flaming fire and dried banana leaves as effects. I’m glad our smoke detector didn’t go out beeping because of the fi-yer from the shoot. Get this smokin hot vintage accent here.
The XBOX Center table can also be had without the glass top. Without the glass table top, it still looks good and it in fact, more unique looking. Only P2800 without the glass top.
This is our own version of celebrity home, oh well, not really celebrity homes but more of celebrity furniture buys from the Leoque Furniture.
Celebrity - Dominic Ochoa: We have no picture coz the damn camera won’t open at the time of his visit. I was able to make the camera work exactly when Sir Dominic passed by me and said thanks & goodbye. Thanks Dominic BTW. Actually, it wasn’t Dominic’s buy, but ’twas her lovely wife who initiated the furniture purchase. They picked up (literally picked-up ‘coz Dominic’s got a smooth & slick pick-up truck) a computer table ladder type, an umbrella accent jar and a display easel. And what’s with these celebrities? They are kinder, jollier & sweeter live in person. Thanks Ms. D… and Mr. D.

Celebrity - Jennylyn Mercado: She looked at this s-type side table then checked out the glass top stainless center table. She then decided to combine the two - - - the glass top and the s-type table. Thinking out of the box, she asked for the s-type to stand sideways or horizontally (not the actual orientation of the table) then she ask for the glass top to be placed on top, walah, a unique coffee table for her home. Jennylyn, definitely, an artist. And she’s a nice polite sweet lady as well. Photo here is the actual pic of her inside our shop.

Celebrity - Mike Cortez: The minute I saw him, I knew he’s a basketball player but I second guessed. You know why, coz he’s taller & bigger in person than on TV or on court live. I’ve seen him live many times before and one time im just 5 - 10 feet away from him and he doesn’t seem to be very tall. Well, may because he’s surrounded by bigger guys like Pennisi & Jay Washington. Was able to confirm that he is he when I saw the furniture invoice, signed by his wife, a “Cortez.” How nice can they get? It was his wife who volunteered to shoot the pic. Actual photo posted here. Many thanks for checking out Leoque Furniture. The items they got for they home: bean bags, ladder shelves wenge and 5ft panel for display.

Whether they sell beaded earrings, painted flowerpots or homemade soaps, Web sites that offer an alternative to chain stores are popping up and growing in popularity.
One of them, Madeitmyself.com, is similar in concept to eBay: Shoppers buy items from sellers who post them on the site and ship directly to the buyer. Many of the new sites - including Etsy, Silkfair and Hyena Cart - focus on handmade goods, art or specialty items.
Creators of the sites and retail experts say the companies are growing in number, popularity and sales because customers are increasingly looking for unique items they can’t find in chain stores. The rise of the Internet has made it easier for shoppers to find and buy those items.
Madeitmyself.com launched in November. It has 5,500 sellers signed up with 2,200 listing products on the site.
This photo, titled “FREE AS A BIRD,” won a mini photo contest run by our photography mentor. I attended a 3 day seminar then got to be in this/our mini “alumni” social site group. Props used are flag I bought at a Roxas Blvd stoplight intersection (during the June 12th Philippine Independence Day) and the wooden birds are from here. The theme of the contest is DIY filter.
Using day-to-day home items as filters. No commercial filter is allowed. I used a plastic cup with a hole as a filter. I earned a remote shutter FTW. The photo below also got good number of votes, same contest.
I’d like to thank our teacher for running the show & the peeps who voted for my entries. I thank my payrents too. =)
Seriously, thank-u-2-God.

The recipe for an abstract whatever yaya painting… dirty illustration board + 1 hour + hard 5 year old water color & acrylic paints + water.
Rather than throwing away the hardened water color & dirty illustration board, I made one distorted “art.”
Title: “SUGOD”
Promise, this looks better live than in photo. The white drips and paints are not visible in the pic.
Just testing. I’d like to do this again next week and see if I can make any good.
Engages the reader in the heady world of the 1920s and 1930s when Art Deco style was all the rage. Covering architecture, jewellery, textiles, fine art and home furnishing, this book looks at well-known and not so well-known designers and creators of this most sophisticated of stiles, tracing its progress from the luxurious to the mass-produced.
Follows the development of one of the Twentieth Century`s most glamorous styles. All aspects of 1920s and 1930s design and architecture were affected by its elegant sophistication, and this beautiful new book shows how its pervading influences transformed everyday objects into luxurious works of art.
Art Deco was a popular international art design movement from 1925 until the 1940s, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts, and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.
ART DECO - The movement was a mix of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, Art Nouveau, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s. Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative.
Art Deco experienced a decline in popularity during the late 30s and early 40s, and soon fell out of public favor. It experienced a resurgence with the popularization of graphic design in the 1980s. Art Deco had a profound influence on many later artistic movements, such as Memphis and Pop art.
Surviving examples may still be seen in many different locations worldwide, in countries as diverse as the United Kingdom, Spain, Cuba, Indonesia, the Philippines, Romania, New Zealand and Brazil. Many classic examples still exist in the form of architecture in many major cities. The Empire State Building and The Chrysler Building, both in New York City, are two of the largest and best-known examples of the style. VIA

Another sample use of old wood - hardwood day bed that we make. This one, place in the spa room area. What a way to get pampered, comfortable mattress & sheets (not included) on hardwood tropical hardwood daybed! Home massage doesn’t get any sweeter & relaxing than this. Light the candle and indulge.
Other applications of daybed are patio placement, lanai, foyer, living room, or use as sleeping bed, etc. Virtually anywhere you would want to relax and spruce up an area with a rustic themed daybed. Size vaies, can range from single, double, queen size, king size or can be custom made, based on your requirement. See other daybed furniture made in the Philippines.
Mangkono, is also called iron wood (or iron tree) because of its hardness. This the baddest of the bad wood in the Philippines. The hardest wood of all species in the Philippines, better than most hardwood we know like Narra, Kamagong, Bagtikan, Yakal, Molave, Guijo etc. You have to be harder than hard to be called Philippine Iron Wood.
Dig this, to cut an ordinary tree with 70cm diameter using an axes, it will take 3-hours to put the tree down BUT to cut a MANGKONO tree with same diameter (70cm), it will take 2 to 4 days to get it done.
Mostly found in the islands of Dinagat, Homonhon Samar and Batbangon over there at Leyte. It can also be found in Palawan. Xanthostemon verdugonianus is the scientific name and is kinda endangered. I checked eBay and they still sell this though, in planks or wood tiles.
Get the detailed description of the Mangkono wood here.
