This Homeowner's Colorful Home in Tarlac City Will Inspire You to Redecorate

Almost every nook and cranny of this home is splashed with bright and playful colors! 

Homeowner Bernadette Lim likes to call the lively house her very own "happy nest."  

According to the mom of three, her kids' love for colors inspired her to transform the space, which used to have a neutral color scheme. "Dahil mahilig sila sa color, unti-unti kami nag add ng color [sa bahay namin]," she tells Real Living. Initially, Bernadette only thought of sprucing up her garden. But after seeing how much her kids loved the makeover, she ended up decorating one room to another! "Na feel namin na happier 'yung kids, [especially] 'yung son ko na may [autism spectrum disorder] ASD. Talagang nai-inspire siya sa mga decor."

Patio 

Right beside the front yard is a breezy patio. Bernadette likes to call it the "shabu-shabu" because this is where her family would usually bond over hot pot meals. Similar to some Japanese restaurants, the hangout spot has a sunken dining table.
