It aint a painting. Ok, actually it is but it’s a mirror and the faces-women painting is reflected on the mirror. The mirror is for sale. The painting is not.

NEW PHOTOS, GUMP MINI PARK BENCH

I don’t know how we were able to sell more than dozen of this KIDDIE BENCH using 2 crappy pictures and 1 outdoor shot. Ahhh, maybe thru luck + merits of the bench furniture.

mini-park-bench-gump mini-park-bench-gump (2) mini-park-bench-gump (3)

But today, we have 3 new photos of the mini bench. This time, shot indoors. Better ones. Here’s to another dozen sold benches!

By that time, I’ll attribute the sold units to the better pictures + merits of the bench furniture.

MAGIC WOODEN RIDE, A WOOD VESPA

Wooden Vespa

Wooden Vespa

It’s in our my nature, we I love all things wood. We marvel at the bamboo bikes, bamboo piano (ok bamboo aint exactly wood), wooden chests, wood furniture, wooden clocks, Tiger Woods, etc. And now comes this wooden ride. If you like wooden stuff, you love driving around the village and you’d like to be the center of attraction, this wood Vespa should do the trick. Awesome job by Carlos Alberto. Check out the wood grains, the kickass inlays and the fine finish. I wonder how much this unique Vespa costs.

Both are good really. So good I heard some people can’t resist the urge to make a replica of this table. Arggh. (Replica, short for repli-copy.)

Buyer’s Feedback: Hotel Look It Is

Hi Leoque team,

I would like to thank you for having this kind of online shop for furnitures and accessories.

Since Nov 30 2009, we purchased many items in your shop and almost decorated our house. It was amazing that our house was transformed into a hotel, yes, a hotel like house with warm and good ambiance. My husband liked our new and transformed house. My mother and sister in-law loved the designs too even my father in law loved it. He stated that it was like a hotel. They loved the divider even the console table and mirror. The good news is that they are planning to buy a mirror in your store, blessing right? I love our new house now compared to how it looked before.

Thank you and I’m looking forward into seeing more of your new and high quality items.

Regards,

MS SV

To Miss SV, many thanks for sharing your wonderful feedback. It’s been our pleasure serving your orders. Hope you can share some photos of how your home turned out. Anything else that you need, please contact us.  Next time, you or your referred family members visit us, we’ll give/send you a freebie.

A Christmas Story: Mea Culpa con El Retraso y Differencia

Mea Culpa con El Retraso y Differencia. Three buyers returned some furniture pieces for replacement, the other set is for repair. This is our first holiday season that we are on full swing, and the orders are overwhelming. So we may have overlooked some details with some of the orders. Everyday, our BIG BIG BIG pickup location entertains buyers from all over Metro Manila and nearby towns (and the shop is packed with furniture you can’t even move!). Right now, we have over two dozen buyers with pending furniture orders. Rest assured that we are working very hard to meet the demand, the due-dates, the quality, etc. Anyway, any problem and delays with the furniture reserved, ordered, purchased, please contact us and we’ll respond as quick as humanly possible (office hours). Thanks again dear clients!

Amikasa – Build & decorate your home online

amikasa-your-home-online

I encourage you to try this site AMIKASA. A fun online tool where you can work on the interior of your house or room. An online site where you can build your house and test furnish your home to see what looks good and what furniture pieces perfectly fit your space.

Just make sure you got good net connection ‘coz the application needs some to loading and initialization so you work online without hiccups. You also need to have the right browser plugin installed (adobe shockwave).

You can work out from scratch or start with box type or template house or room area. The process of filling up the floors with furniture is via drag and drop. After your work, you can save your file locally (it says .hx file extension) and later, reload your saved file online and continue working on it. Or, you can also do the old fashion way of making a hard copy and print it and proudly show it to your hubby (or wifey).

It’s a free app so why not try it. I did.

If symptoms persist that you’re not architectural – software savvy, consult your nearest interior designer or architect and let them do the job.

    CHRISTMAS HOME FURNITURE & FURNISHING, GIFT IDEAS INSIDE LEOQUE FURNITURE SHOP

    Christmas Home Furniture & Furnishing Gift Ideas Inside Leoque Furniture Shop

    Around this time all of us are busy making (and checking it twice) our own little list of gifts-to-buy for our loved ones. Today is your lucky day, I’ll help you out and give one quickie gift buying guide here inside Leoque online furniture store, so you can save, so you can make people happy.

    On this first holiday gift ideas by Leoque, I’ll be listing the small items first, then the medium home gift items and lastly, the larger furniture units. And as a bonus, I’ll do a “for him”, “for her”, and “for kids” lists as well.

    NOTE: Use “open in a new tab” or “open in a new window” option if you’ll click the links.


    SMALL GIFT IDEAS

    • Lights and colors really go hand in hand during Christmas. It’s never too late to grab these capiz flower candle holder.
    • LOVE for Christmas is not a bad gift idea. Check out this LOVE letters.
    • I say, look at this is a Christmas tray – plate.
    • Coasters are handy and affordable giveaways, you have to buy some sets.
    • Bold red vase set. Red: ahhhh the color of happy Christmas.
    • Your shopping budget is tight? And you can’t give high value necklaces, jewelries and stuff? Go to the next move, just buy em jewelry boxes! :-)

    MEDIUM SIZED HOME ITEMS

    • This Christmas, add colors & shapes to a rather bland wall. Try these pop wall displays.
    • The best stylish way of displaying home items, use these shelves – ladders.
    • Christmas is a season of giving, a season for LOVE. Give your love the LOVE. I’m referring to this L.O.V.E. bookshelves.
    • I know, squash pops out during the haloween days but this Squash Stool veggielicious looks is awesome gift too this season of joy and loving… and eating.
    • If your friend happens to receive lots of small gift items during the holidays, a nice QUADRO BOX might come in handy.
    • We have an affordable mini console table – phone stand, this is within budget and will surely make the recipient happy. Give this phone table to him before Christmas, then call him and greet him Merry Christmas on the 25th!

    LARGE FURNITURE UNITS

    • For the avid host or hostess on your Christmas list, a decorative wine rack will make his/her entertaining easier and more stylish.
    • Wrought iron lamp jar is a nice way to light up the Christmas.
    • Flat TV, plasma TV, slim fit TV are getting cheaper and cheaper by the way. Expect some of your friends and loved ones to score or get these flat TVs. A wonderful complementing TV stand would be a nice gift. Check the TV table selection here, here, here, here, here & here.
    • It’s cold and chilly during Christmas for the coat users, why not consider giving this coat hanger.
    • Welcome the new year with a new design, and a new laptop table. See this computer table too.
    • It’s the holiday season, but you can get this all-season photo table. A table that can change its look as the owner desires.

    FOR KIDS

    • You would want to check your list twice. Kids can be choosy and they will not hide their displeasure if they don’t like their gifts. For the artistic boys & girls, give them their own study or art desk plus chairs & benches.
    • For the musically- inclined, why not wrap-up this native drum.
    • It’s not all study, kids play a lot so give them toys, try this rattan rocking horse.
    • How about teaching the kids of today, the Sungka game.
    • Kitchen sets are surefire gifts for those cutie little girls, take a look at the mini wooden bowls.

    FOR HIM

    FOR HER

    Happy Christmas Shopping!

    Cheers!

    FACE OF THE WEEK #: 8 LIHIM NG SILVER BUDDHA

    homeface (10)

    Ooops, it’s alreadsy Tuesday! The face of the week post pops out every Monday. But am posting herewith still. This is our 8th Face of the Week post (12 more to go!). Based from the classic cheezy Jestoni Alarcon movie, Ang lihim ng Golden Buddha, we scour the house for some jewel-like items to have that theme.

    This photo titled “Lihim ng Silver Buddha.” The secret is, none of the peripheral accessories in the picture is worth as much as the gold bars of Jestoni, aka, Rogelio Roxas.

    Too bad, this metal tribal necklace could have been a nice accessory to the shoot of the silver Buddha. It arrived later.

    See all Face of the Week 2009 collection… (FOTW09)

    PASKO SA SAN FERNANDO

    A trip to Bataan (and Pampanga of course) and you’ll get to see these roadside Christmas lantern, lights and related items vendors (assuming you’ll not use the SCTEX) along San Fernando Highway, Pampanga.

    You’ll get good bargains, the larger Pampanga-made lanterns cost is around only P2500.00 (last price is P2000 says the chief operating Kabalen). I believe we’ll not get that price if bought inside Metro Manila Christmas lantern shops. The Santa Claus with reindeer piped running lights, the price is P2500 but persistent haggling and you’ll get to the bottom price of P2200.00. We bought some for our graden.

    By the way, at San Fernando Pampanga, that’s the home of some fine furniture makers & home furnishing suppliers, we got some contacts there. If you’re looking for some classical & country looking home furniture, furniture from Pampanga can be a an uber-option.
