Designer's Crib Interior Graphics

Along with most Facebook online stores, Designer's Crib Interior Graphics began about a year ago when the hype of online-shopping began. Owner, Interior Designer Kat Palmares-Garfin, an online-shopper as well realized that it would be a “perfect starting ground for people who want to engage in traditional or non-traditional business.” Kat wanted to engage in a business that was related to her field and she “wanted to make interior design available to everyone.” She started as a re-seller of wall decals. These are perfect design solutions to an empty wall without spending on paint or buying wall accessories. Designs are unlimited and are easy to install. Kat says “I consider it as an art.” I like how wall decals can make a wall interesting without take up any space at all. One is enough to make a statement. Her online store now produces their own wall decals that come in different colors. You can contact them for inquiries for customizations.

Additional items like fruit pads and decorative printed paper napkins, coasters and placemats are also available in the store. Kat decided to re-sell and incorporate them because of their concepts. Fruit pads were really a clever concept. “The attention to detail is amazing, the stems are made from actual tree branches, and the printing even extends to the seeds inside.” These pads are unique little gifts! Decorative paper napkins, coasters and placemats are a great additions to any dining set-up. Little touches of color and pattern can make a neutral or plain set-up more interesting and complimentary to unique dining experience.

Its a designer's life

from L-R: PENCIL case, wallet, school bag, bangle, notebooks, 
triangles, Wall-e, Holga, laptop, glasses, Blackberry, and book

Welcome to my office (not really)!

This is the end of my day when I'm stuck at home doing whatever I can come up with or school work. Everything's laid out on my bed; barely unpacked. Here's how this works: my school bag's white and huge so I don't place it on the ground and its always close by cause' it has everything I need.  As an interior design student, we have a little more supplies than the average student; triangles, a huge pencil case full of clutch pencils, tech pens, pencils that range from F, H, 2H, HB, etc., hopia/tracing paper and many more. I always take with me one Lomo cam. I love my Holga because its turquoise and has a huge flash that comes with colored filters. Plus, its plastic so I consider it snatch/hold-up proof. Wall-e's my bedside stuffed toy that my boyfriend gave to me before I left for my summer vaca in the States. I love my laptop and I made sure that if someone attempted to snatch it, I would notice. Its the only white-holed Macbook Pro with a turquoise keyboard I know of and it matches my Holga! And lastly, my Blackberry which is supposed to have a white-holed case too but I changed it for the meantime. This is my bed and this is my life. I always thought that you can know a lot about a person based on his/her things. Its not really about the labels or the gadgets, its more of finding out what that person thinks he/she needs/wants.

Faux Chandelier

During my trip to Philadelphia last summer, my cousin and her best friend, Angela, took me to Target. I love that place just because its like a one-stop-shop where you can find anything you will ever need! The thing about my trip to the States is; I didn't just go shopping for clothes and shoes, I went shopping for room accessories. This was the designer in me coming out all because I was in dire need of a room makeover. One of my favorite finds was this chandelier wall decal I bought from Target. The brand is called "Wall Designer Accents" and its was $11 (around Php484.oo). The sheet size was 23.62 in. x 12.58 in. (60 cm x 32 cm). Its easy to apply, just like a sticker and you can reposition it, just make sure you peal it off with care.

Here are my recommendations: If you can't find a wall decal, you can opt for wall paper or DIY. If you can draw or know someone who can draw, you can search for chandelier templates online and just sketch it on your wall. You can also use a overhead projector (OHP). Print out the chandelier template on acetate paper and use the OHP to project the image on your wall. Use this as a guide/stencil. Another option is making a cut out or outline of the chandelier. You can stick this on your wall and directly paint on it. I would suggest sticker paper for this. Use water-based paint for both wood and cement. Take note, if you're using spray paint, spray 8-12 in. away from the surface.
