In these peso-pinching times, it isn’t enough just to get the right furniture piece for your condo. You have to consider four things before you buy it: one, it pulls double duty as something else other than what it was originally made for; two, it’s either small enough or practical enough to earn precious space in your small condo unit; three, it’s well-made so it’ll last you a long time; and four, it’s a beautiful piece of furniture.
Here are six pieces you’d be smart to invest in. (Check out Our Home for these.) By Rachelle Fernandez Medina
No matter what size home you live in, storage is the key to making things look well kept. Simple changes, like using a tension rod to hold cleaning products under your sink, can free up a whole lot of space you may not have known you had. Toilet paper rolls work great for keeping cords together and desk organizers may serve an even bigger purpose in the kitchen. Check out the 7 clever storage tips for your home to start organizing from top to bottom! - By Jacinda Boneau
Manila, Philippines -- The Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) will lead a study on the establishment of new urban settlement areas to encourage economic opportunities outside Metro Manila, according to Vice President Jejomar C. Binay.
Binay said many Filipinos believe the best opportunities for livelihood are in Metro Manila. This misconception made Metro Manila reach its carrying capacity in a short period, he said. According to a recent financial survey, within the next two years about 45% of Filipinos today want to own a parcel of land while another 37% want to own a house or condo unit. That tells us how much of a priority it is for us Filipinos to own property, someplace we can call home. Certainly, owning a home gives one a sense of security, pride, and identity, but they do more than that—a home also helps increase your wealth by gaining in value over the years.
