I wasn't planning to write anything today. I intend to finish that long overdue research and delete some unnecessary files in my slowly processing netbook. Time to get a new one? Oh, NOT NOW! To my dearest netbook, please don't give up on me. ;-)
The bulk of space in my hard drive is occupied by my media files, music, movies and pictures. I deleted some of my movie and music files and I was left with thousand of photos. In my attempt to throw the unnecessary pictures, I ended up seeing interesting pictures I haven't posted. Here are they,
A basketball ring turned to a side table owned by my Boss. I stole this picture when we were still staying in the other office. A great idea for those who have male kids. A old basketball ring, net and a circular glass top turned to a unique side table
A boat shaped bench and table! These two pieces are so functional because they have storage spaces too. The table has a hidden opening which leads to a space ideal for magazine, books and other utilities. This paired piece belongs to the reception area of Club Balai Isabel, one of the best resorts in the Philippines. The wood and the design are very Filipino.
In the Philippines, we call this giant shell as kabibe. The giant shell was turned to a sink, a unique and great idea. This piece can be seen in Caleruega,one of my favorite places in the Philippines. I want to own something like this too.

P.S. The Philippines has been stricken by typhoon Mina over the past days. Thank God Manila was not badly affected. Rains and heavy winds were all we experienced here. To my fellow bloggers in the USA who are affected by hurricane Irene, I hope and pray that you are all in a safe condition.

Kabibe? You and me BOTH! I love that sink!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane,
ReplyDeleteSome really unique pieces there. I enjoyed seeing them. That shell is so cool! Love the basketball hoop table. Great for my grandies!
I love the boat table. Have a good week Diane!
ReplyDeleteI love that table idea! Maybe pag nagkaanak ako na boy next time :) Not sure about the kabibe sink though. I think the shell belongs to a giant clam and they are already a protected species here :( I joined a giant clam seeding project several years ago in Batangas to increase the population in that area but a few months after we placed and tagged them, we heard that they were illegally harvested :(
ReplyDeleteYou know I love a good repurposing project. These are fabulous! That shell is so awesome and what a great little table made from the basketball hoop. Storage and a bench? Love it! Thanks for cleaning out your hard drive and sharing these.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the typhoon didn't cause widespread damage there. Stay safe.
