Rent to Own: One of the coolest things we have seen!

www.renttoown.ph 

Here's the scenario: you're hosting a dinner party with friends when you're inspired to liven up the mood with some music and some sing-a-long Carly Rae Jepsen"Call Me Maybe" at the dinner table. Imagine your guests' surprise (aside from your choice in music) once they realize the music is emanating from the...table itself!

FLOOD FREE ZONE: CUBAO

There are pockets of flood free zones in Quezon City that has withstood torrential rains brought by typhoons such as Ondoy and Glenda. It is a prerequisite for us here at Rent to Own.ph to look for areas that are high above sea level and that are spared by Metro Manila’s constant flooding problem.

One such place in Quezon City is the locality of Cubao.

     With an elevation of 53 meters above sea level, Cubao remains relatively unscathed from flooding. Quick access to Cubao CBD, with its restaurants, entertainment gateways, shopping malls, hospitals, and schools make this area a very ideal neighborhood.

Bathroom Storage Ideas

Hoover: No matter what the size, bathrooms can always use more storage.

Back-of-the-Door Storage

Problem: You've run out of shelf space but not out of stuff.

Solution: The backs of cabinet doors are full of unused storage space. Attach shallow caddies to the back of a cabinet to add storage for everything from hand soap to cotton balls to cleaning supplies. Label each shelf to make sure toiletries stay separate from other bathroom supplies.

Hidden Storage

This family's tiny kitchen entryway was cluttered with everything from bottles of wine to coats to soccer cleats. Chip's solution? Install back-to-back storage units that slide out when you need them, then magically disappear into the wall. Clutter, meet your match.

One Size Fits All

from: http://inhabitat.com

Hoover: We featured Graham Hill's transforming apartment a few weeks back. This was another concept design made for him. It makes the use of movable furniture to function as a bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living area to fit in one small space. 

www.renttoown.ph

New Yorkers are used to small apartments. We think keeping sweaters in our stove and having one piece of furniture function as our bed/couch/desk are totally normal ways to live. But what if your tiny apartment could host a 12-person dinner party? Or comfortably accommodate two friends for a weekend visit? A recent crowdsourced contest by LifeEdited tasked contestants to design a 420-square-foot New York apartment that would do just that. The goal of the contest was to motivate designers and the public to be more eco-minded about our living spaces and reduce our carbon footprints.

FLOOD-FREE ZONE: KAPITOLYO

Bed-weather or Stress-weather?

An afternoon thunderstorm produces flash floods that snarl traffic for miles around the Metro. A typhoon creates so much flooding that Manila feels like one giant swimming pool. While we may wax poetic on our Facebook pages about a dreamy, rainy day, the reality is one big, fat lie.

There is no one who lazes and dreams while flood waters creep steadily into their homes. The undue worry and stress when the rains come around is enough to put most of us on medication. Fortunately, there are some places in the Metro that is virtually flood free.

www.renttoown.ph

While most areas in Pasig are sinking under the flood waters brought by the likes of Ondoy and Glenda, Kapitolyo stands high at an elevation of 40 meters above sea level. With easy access to supermarkets, hospitals and restaurants, this place is where one can really laze away those rainy days.

Careful research on Manila’s flooding reality was conducted by Rent to Own.ph in its search for homes in the flood free zones. For more information, please call 0917-5594309 or email at ph.renttoown@gmail.com.
