Early last year, when we were still furnishing techie bro’s condo, Mom and I had to scout over a lot of stores just to find the pieces that would fit the design I had in mind. Visiting many shops can be tiring but inspiring as well. I realize one can get a lot of design ideas just by hopping from one store to another, looking at the many items on display. Most stores would highlight their products in a showcase, i.e. a living room showcase, a kitchen showcase, etc. Observing how they set up the pieces, and choose which accessories to go with them, helped in the design process. I enjoyed dropping in on the shops specializing on Asian-inspired décors, as most of the pieces are unique and sometimes they are not that costly.

Ideas are powerful. A train of thought can make or break, build or destroy. The choice is ours. Our ideas become our future. I believe that life’s meaningful lessons are best learned when shared with others.
