wanted: espresso machine!

I am not a coffee drinker -- I don’t need the caffeine boost when I wake up nor do I need to stay up in case I have lots of work to do. My motto: if you’re sleepy then go to sleep. Why would I artificially induce wakefulness with caffeine?? Our body knows when it needs to sleep so why would I mess with its schedule? D’oh! BUT despite not being a coffee drinker, I absolutely L-O-V-E espresso machines! I love looking at its wonderful contraptions, its gleaming metal parts and the levers you handle to release the most concentrated form of java known to men. I’m sure you’ve seen one of these machines in cafes like Starbucks or Blugre. They look great don’t they? I would love to get one of these machines for our kitchen! Not for making coffee mind you, but for display purposes only. Ahihihi! =)

Are you a wine lover?

If yes, then read on!
.
My father has been receiving wine and liquor gifts from his friends and officemates for as long as I can remember. And given that he’s not really into alcoholic drinks (except during parties) along with rest of our family, our liquor stash has grown. Where to put it? On a wine rack of course! So when we had our house renovated last year, we put up a mini-bar with a wine rack installed beneath the bar. We designed it to look as if it’s just another cabinet (left photo), but when you open it up, voila! It’s a wine rack! Neat huh?

Yeah our wine rack doesn’t look stunning, but hey, we’re not wine rack designers! LOL! If you want pretty wine racks to suit your bar theme, check http://www.thevinestore.com/. They have an excellent collection of metal and wood wine racks in every design. Whether you want your wine rack in classic finish or with a whimsical design, TheVineStore has something to cater to your taste. They even have cool wine accessories! The next time we’ll renovate our dining bar (or make a new bar in our basement), I’d definitely buy from TheVineStore. Great designs for a cheaper price!

do you need bar stools??

Dsc06775 One of my fave rooms in our home, aside from my pink bedroom, is our kitchen and mini-bar. I love cooking and eating so it just makes sense that the areas where I do these stuff are well-designed. Thus, when we renovated our home last year, I took an active part in designing our kitchen and mini-bar. Of course, in this modern age, design magazines are out and surfing the internet for inspiration and for quality materials is in! And one of the sites that has become my favorite is http://www.qualitybarstools.com where a wide variety of bar stools are available. I love looking at their designs. And you can even customize your bar stools by choosing your own fabric or metal finish. Why am I going gaga over stools? Because they are the focal point of your bar! The bar stool can be a conversation piece, the item that attracts your guests toward the bar, or be the comfort zone in your otherwise chaotic home. That's our white metal bar stools above. Classic huh? =)

Curious already? Then go visit http://www.qualitybarstools.com! Their bar stools are under discount pricing and ship for free in the US for orders $500. Nice huh?? And if you’re afraid of doing online shopping, fret not because their site uses secure Yahoo Store platform. I’m loving this site already! Next time we will renovate our home, I’d definitely buy our bar stools here. Below are few of their numerous bar stools. Mmm, eye candy!!
