Boys in the girls' room, girls in the men's room.

The daybed arrived in time for my usual lazy Sunday routine- watched an old flick (The Belly of an Architect) which only increased my yearning to travel to Italy even more. A lot of the things we've been discussing in our History of Art & Architecture class have been appearing in the movies I've been watching lately (Angels & Demons included). But I think before getting too hyped up about going out of the P.I. for my break next year, I have to discover more of Manila. Recently attended a talk about Cultural Heritage before competing at the first European Union Choral Competition (we won 2nd runner up!) and the speaker mentioned that unlike other countries wherein everything beautiful is laid out for you to see, you have to exert some effort into looking for Manila's sites. So that is exactly what I intend to do next weekend with a couple of friends.
I find it pretty creepy that all the things I've been getting/purchasing are white. Like the vint Doc Martens I received last week (my best Ebay find yet) which I've been using a lot, btw.
A crazy idea popped in my mind the other day-- that is to chop all of my hair off. But some friends of mine commented that it would finally make me look like a total boy, considering that all the outfits I've been putting on recently have been androgynous (I haven't been posting them on LB and Chictopia).
What's wrong with all the whites and lookin like a boy?
Feeling quite lonely now that my family and cousins have fled out of town for a week, leaving me here to study for my midterms. But as usual, taking breaks here and there, taking comfort in my old flicks. At least there's still some architecture in it, right?

Not quite done with my study room.

Collecting random frames here and there (thanks to those who gave me frames and paintings for my 19th!) and planning on digging up a nice vint/antique mirror to put on the blank wall...

(Oooopsies. Sorry for the clutter!)

AND I'm getting a daybed pretty soon to make this a chillout/recording room for me, my sister and some friends...

Photos of walls to take inspiration from...

Wow I think I'm loving the idea of white wood planks on the floor... Perhaps for the next room project--guest room? Hmmmm...

The adjacent wall will also have some shelf installations pretty soon.

Designing it to be a mobile shelf so I can still use the brick pattern for some photos :)

I'm on the hunt for a nice overhead lamp like the one on this photo. I'm sensing that a very industrial lamp like this one will work really well with the color scheme in my study room.
