Not a post about the city of the Chinese southern province of Guangdong. Not a post about the city up north of Hongkong (usually, Hongkong tour packages include side trips to the city of Shenzhen).
This is a photo-post featuring the Round Shen and the Zen Display Rack. Thus, The Shen-Zen…
Did you miss the initial furniture product release of our BECCI Sideboard last Feb 2009? If you did, here’s a follow-up post and a follow-up pic.

more than meets the eye
We have here 20 photos of faces & masks, all home decors. Shot in a span of an hour and half on a rainy Saturday morning. We’ll just post one photo every Monday of the coming weeks, to welcome each week with face-themed posts. Post 3 of 20.
This wooden dragon is not a member of the Autobots nor the Decepticons. It’s actually a dragon akin to this one. As far as the shot is concerned, the spot light placed at the back of the dragon forms a robotic – transformer – like image.
Finally, the photobook titled “Leoque Collection” has arrived. Digiprint said 2 to 3 weeks after client’s approval of the layout, we’ll get the photobook but we got it much much later than promised. We ordered this photobook for our own collection and copy, a coffee table book for our own living room. The same 100 select photos were printed and filed in this album, for our clients browsing.
Now this is a bright idea…
Tired of looking for the TV remote? Have you ever spent an hour looking for the DVD remote controller? Still finding where to put your extra game console controllers? Would you like to have a place of your “this-weeks-must-see-DVD-movies” collection? Geeesh, even the aircon remote controller always ends up underneath the bed or the couch! Always on the look-out for that elusive cable TV printed schedule?
Friends, this is the handy solution for you.
A unique, one of a kind wooden remote control homebase. This remote control caddy can take not 5, not 6, not 8 remote controllers. This can take 10 or more remote controllers. So, if you happen to have a remote controller for your gate, or for your dog, this tray will take ‘em all.
Say goodbye to stray remote controls. You’ll know where to find them.
If you call now, we’ll even include the defective remote control we used for the pictorial!
And AS SEEN ON TV, one man even used this as his lifting weights for his “Perfect Abs in 10 Minutes A Day, With This Wooden Tray” Video! Amazing.
But wait, there’s more… this off-shaped wooden tray off some tree roots looks good even without the remote controls. The texture, wood pattern, the flowing lines, all add up to make one interesting visual accent.
The “GIRO” solid wooden stool used as side pedestal. Two stool stacked one over the other forms a spiral - twisting design. Actually, just one piece and it’s set to go as a pedestal or a riser, where, you can put stuff on top. Like phones, picture frames, a telephone maybe, figures, lamps, etc.
city of smiles' "masskara"

This maskara is from Bacolod City’s MASSKARA Festival. Held every October, a celebration which has earned for Bacolod, the title of “CITY OF SMILE.”
The word MASSKARA came from two words “MASS” which means many and the spanish word “KARA” meaning face. Thus “masskara” means a multitude of smiling faces.

Christmas is around the corner, one quick & cheap way to add Christmas decor is via accent balls of different makes & different sizes. Check the photos above and see what you for Christmas. See links below for further details.
A bunch of buri leaves and buri gelatin artificial ornaments were blown by the wind and it landed in our shop. I figure that’s a sign. It’s a sign that I should get my butt off the chair, get up & take another photo set of the tall glass vase we have. And so I did. Out of 5 photos, I am posting herewith the better twos.
This is an indoor low bench shot outdoors. The acacia wood slab is anchored on top of solid hardwood yakal post/ Seen in the background is a Narra tree. Take a look at the “JAPOST BENCH” here.
Bought a long long time ago for P2K. Posted still at Amazon, here. Geared towards lovers of country interior design. A lot of DIY tips and ideas packed inside over 150 pages of colorful photos and engaging real-life stories. And, at the end of each case study, it has summary & quick tips of how the look was achieve.
Description from Amazon…
Better Homes and Gardens here showcases ten homes inhabited by a sampling of people with different lifestyles: singles, couples, and families in urban and suburban settings. Each home is shown in numerous photographs, with tips from the inhabitants on decorating; the styles are all accessible and easy to achieve for amateur decorators.
Here now is the divider - planter (P2900) with added accessory, a warm lighting effect. The cost of adding the the fluorescent tube light and the electrical wiring is around P350.00 (no labor or installation cost included). And that P350, is really worth it!
Note that, the ESTOUT Jar is more of green-brown (as shown here) and not orange-brown as earlier posted.
Good day… would you like a table for three? I mean, triple functions — A bedside table… an end table… and a service table!
Even if you move this around your home, this contemporary table will surely work its magic. It, being black or dark colored, it will complement most furnitures out there (sofa, living room set, chaise lounge, bed, daybed, benches, etc.).
Invest in furniture that you can take move around and mesh with the room seamlessly. Start with this table.
A night table set-up…
A service table function…
Employed as an end table…
The “S” stands for Superb! As an End Table…
The “S” stands of Sensational! As a petite minimalist Coffee Table…
Whoaa, this pedestal twin towers pair deserves better photos and definitely more one shot. And it deserves a better description. And so, after almost a year, here comes the new set. Used as side pedestals for the bold red sofa. Also, this is effect, is a boundary defining accent. Because, to the left of the pedestal is the dining area (not shown).
Check the link below for added specifications.
It’s been a frenetic posting here at the House of Leoque this October so it’s now time to pause for a moment and enjoy one song from The King, Elvis Presley.
Song embedded is titled LOVE Letters…
Big long by-the-way below…
My friend gave me a CD collection of Elvis Presley songs, all are in it, the young rockin’ Elvis, the RnB Elvis, country Elvis and even the gospel singing Elvis.
Being a solid Beatles fan for 15 years (that’s why in some of the Leoque furniture photos, you’ll see the Beatles images/pictures/frames/magazines here, there & everywhere), I can say that I’ve under appreciated Elvis Presley’ music & style. When in fact, pretty clear from the get-go of Beatles career, they are all Elvis wannabes.
No wonder, as I listen to this Elvis CD, I hear a lot of Paul Mc Cartney & John Lennon music & style. Elvis music is really something but because his genre is as broad as Elvis’ suit collar, there are a lot of songs that really don’t suit my taste. I sometime skip one or two Elvis songs. I can’t say that to Beatles. I can’t give you 5 bad Beatles songs.
But still, from now on, Elvis and his music, welcome to my building.
Talking about the King, we have a white & a black Elvis Presley figures, a display that’s not as awesome as Elvis’ music but worth collecting.
And, what a coincidence?! That song LOVE Letters?, we happen to have LOVE Letters too that you can furnish your home with: First is the resin LOVE Letters and second, the pop-cool shelving solution, LOVE Letters shelves.
This is one good read. Some DIY Frames you can try & do. Bought this on sale for P200 at booksale kiosk.
From the book…
Country Living - Handmade Frames
An arrangement of beautifully framed pictures adds warmth and personality to a room. Framed images can bring character to a forgotten corner, provide a focal point in a plain room, or simply accent the furnishings. Just about anything can be framed effectively - family photographs and memorabilia, evocative postcards, treasured letters, antique lace, pressed flowers. The skill is in pairing the subject with the right frame and mat. Handmade frames explains how to select art of framing, how to to choose a mat and frame, and how to arrange framed artwork decoratively.
Handmade frames explains the principles of framing and provides step-by-step instructions for personalizing store-bought frames using a number of easy techniques, such as decoupage and burnishings, and for making unique frames out of paper and found objects.
Introduction
Putting a frame around a picture or an object lends it a certain presence. We are all familiar with the way that ornate frames in museums and galleries add to the power of a work of art. Once singled out and paired with the right frame and mat, even the humblest subject a pressed flower, an old ticket stub, a leaf, can take on a new beauty, while the most sentimental - an old family letter, a time-worn woolen childs mitten - is preserved and kept on display.
Just as the right frame can transform a subject, so a beautifully framed picture can transform a room. A single well framed image, or a grouping of several, is one of the easiest and quickest ways to improve the look and feel of any space, creating interest or character where perhaps there was none, highlighting an architectural feature, or even making a room feel larger or smaller.
Making the match between image, mat, and frame - indeed, selecting the image in the first place is one of the creative joys of framing. In the best examples, of course, there is a harmony not only between the subject and the way in which it is framed but also where and how the picture is hung. Today, there is not a single predominant style of framing our choice of frames is as diverse as the subjects we select. This book is about finding your style or styles and discovering the pleasure in using frames decoratively throughout the house.
