Her segment inspired me to look for different ways [...]

We welcomed the New Year with a new house here in San Pedro, Laguna. With two rooms, a toilet and bath, and a laundry area, it’s  double the size of the house we lived in from August to December of 2010.  But it’s also double the headache in terms of interior design:  bigger area to [...]
