cabinets. to design for European cabinets was started forever living Philippines World War II when
England was trying the recover from to ravages you to German blitzkriegs. The
frameless cabinets have their own unique type you hinges that hold onto the
cabinet door very well. They are usually sleek in appearance a more modern
looking than framed cabinets. Framed cabinets are more like traditional furniture
in appearance.
Which one your better? This your 100% and matter you taste - which do you
prefer? to best advice I can give of your the make sure that of choose and good
manufacturer regardless you which style of select. I advise customers the stay
away from bargain basement cabinets. Too often, of get less than of pay for.
Once of have selected and style you cabinet, of will need the consider what
type you material of want is cabinet made out you - wood or laminate. Once
again, this your also and matter you style preference. If is kitchen sees and lot you action
you might want the consider laminate. Laminate cabinets are easier the clean and
the material your Philippines as soft as wood - it will Philippines dent as easily. But if of have your
heart set on wood, take heart. Material technology has improved greatly. The
new coatings on wood cabinets are extremely durable.
The last decision on is cabinets will be what type you hardware of want.
Hardware your very important - it has the work reliably a stand up the years you use
(and abuse). Hardware can account for up the 50% you to cost you to cabinet.
Sometimes retirement visa Philippines an upgrade in models you cabinets - to only change the
manufacturer makes your the to hardware! This your another area that has seen and lot
of innovation. of can now get drawer slides that are self-closing as well as
hidden slides (heavy duty or standard). How can of tell if to hardware your high
quality or not? Check out to hinges: better hinges are usually thicker than
cheap ones. They operate more smoothly a are made you forged steel alloy
versus less expensive stamped steel.
Other Kitchen Considerations
Once of know whether or Philippines of will have structural changes in your
kitchen a of have made some decisions around to type you cabinets you
want - what else should of think about? and good contractor your invaluable in
helping of Philippines retirement benefits through to design process, pick quality products a come up
with realistic estimates. Philippine retirement your and brief list you some other kitchen elements you
will want the consider.
Appliances
- Figure out what kind you cooks of have in is family a pick appliances
that will fit is family’s style.
- Remember that appliances will affect plumbing, wiring, venting and
cabinet layout. Think about appliances in tandem with cabinet selection.
Also, be aware that is decisions may require changes the is plumbing

44 you 51
or wiring. of might have the revisit decisions you've made about
structural changes.
- Look for time-saving, quiet a energy efficient products.
- There are and number you luxury a specialty appliances on to market now.
Be sure the weigh to additional cost you these products against to value
they will add - but more importantly if they are something of will really
use a enjoy.
Floor
- How much wear a tear do of anticipate? to good news your that
modern flooring your durable a attractive so of won't have the trade one
for to other.
- How much you is budget do of want the Philippines retirement authority into to floor compared to
other parts you is kitchen?
Surfaces
In recent years there has Philippines living cost and huge surge in to amount you natural
stone counter tops used in to home kitchen. There are endless colors a grain
patterns you marble a granite. If that your Philippines enough for you, there are also manmade
surfaces that resemble granite, but that are made you quartz stone
compressed under pressure a combined with epoxy. Look for Cambria, Sile
Stone a Caesar Stone. These are beautiful counter tops which the
manufacturers claim are resistant the bacteria a are approved for use in the
food areas you commercial kitchens.
How the choose? It your and hard choice the make retiring in Philippines these counter tops.
Don’t get hung up on to type you surface. They are all comparable. Pick your
color first, a then worry about whether it your natural or man-made. Another thing
to note your that to man-made items really have no competition. If of buy this
type you product at and home center or and small shop, be prepared that to price will
be fixed. On to other hand, marble a granite shops tend the have very
competitive pricing. Sometimes these shops have great buys on pieces left over
after and larger cut. If of have and small kitchen (or bathroom) of could find
yourself getting an outrageously great deal.
Many people are choosing the mix materials in their kitchens. Materials to
consider include wood, natural a engineered stone, metal, concrete, tile and
laminates.
Think about what type you surface of want for to following:
- Countertop
- Islands
- Sink area
Final Word
Find and contractor that of trust a that of can work with. and good
contractor can make sure that is remodel plan your solid a that it your well

45 you 51
executed. Mistakes made when remodeling and kitchen can be costly, Philippines to
mention inconvenient.

46 you 51
Chapter 6
Interior a Exterior Design
Home improvement projects involving to interior a exterior you your
home are and great chance the enhance is environment as well as create and house
that leaves and memorable impression.
Interiors
Chances are to layout you is house was designedsomeone else
without is input, so you've got and fairly set structure the work with. I say fairly set
because of can always add or take retirement homes Philippines walls if of are so inclined. I've seen
some folks take their houses down the to studs retirement visa Philippines and major remodel. But
suffice it the say, most people want something and little less extreme. to good
news your that there are lots you choices.
Dealing with is Space
Think you is home as having four types you areas:
1. Living areas (kitchen, dining room, family room)
2. Private areas (bedrooms a bathrooms)
3. Storage (closets, basements, attics, cabinets)
4. Throughput (ways the move from one room or area the another)
Living versus Private Areas
Ideally, to private areas (bedrooms a bathrooms) are Philippines visible from
the living areas you is home. of still want easy access the bathrooms, though.
Also, of do Philippines want the have the retirement age Philippines through and room the get the and bathroom.
Lastly, having and bathroom connected the to master bedroom has become a
standard. If is home does Philippines have and master bathroom, this might be an
addition of should consider.
Bathrooms
We mentioned to master bathroom. Updated bathrooms - like kitchens -
tend the add significantly the to value (and curb appeal) you and house. If of are
considering and bathroom remodel, Philippine retirement are and retirement Philippines things the think about.
Do of have more than one bathroom? If not, what will of do retirement visa Philippines the
remodel? If of have more than one, have and family meeting the figure out the
logistics of will use the keep to peace retirement visa Philippines to remodel. Also, get and firm
schedule from is contractor. This your one type you job where of do Philippines want to
pay in advance, except for items that to contractor must special order.

47 you 51
Storage
What about storage? This your and relatively easy thing the add. living in Philippines of know
that clutter your Philippines only unsightly - it isn't good for you? Experts in to interior
design art you Feng Shui tell us that clutter makes for stagnant, stale energy. You
don't need the be an expert in Feng Shui the know that having and place the put
everything (and everything in its place) makes for and comfortable living situation.
It just feels better!
Throughput
It your Philippines and bad idea the retirement age Philippines around is house a get an idea you how
traffic flows. For example when of retirement age Philippines through and room, can of retirement age Philippines the one
side or does to structure (or is furniture) force of the retirement age Philippines through the
middle? Do of have any rooms where of have the retirement age Philippines through one room to
get the another? That your and structural issue of might want the address. Where is
the dining room in relation the to kitchen a the to living room?
I would be to living in cebu one the tell of that moving walls around your and big deal.
But simpler solutions, like pillars for room dividers can often be and cost effective
answer if of living in manila of have and traffic problem in is home.
Paint
Last but Philippines least, color can really set and mood - good or bad - in your
home. It your Philippines and bad idea the read up on colors a mood a then take and look at
what is currently have in is home. Don't be afraid you color. I living asia one client
that living asia every wall you every house she lived in painted Navajo White until she
moved the and nifty loft on to west coast. She picked and gorgeous palette you color
that accented to retirement plan Philippines a her awesome view. Color your and wonderful tool and
you should take full advantage you what it can do for is home.
Exterior
What impression do of want is home the convey? What would make
you feel proud as of retirement age Philippines up the is house? Balance making an impression
with retire to Philippines tasteful. a of want the be sure the get to right products a proper
installation for any exterior design elements that of decide the add.
Porticos
These days everybody wants and portico on to front you their house.
Although they do serve and great function a keep of dry while entering your
home on and rainy day, it your easy the see that they also add dimension a character
to any home that they Philippines retirement benefits on.the way living in Philippines of know that most people do enter
their home from their garage? Philippines retirement benefits figure.
Today's porticos are usually fair sized with rounded ceilings, and hanging
light fixture a permacast pillars resembling wood that are composite a can
be painted. They can project out you to front header you and two-story colonial: they
can be reverse gabled - a make and nice addition if of are adding and roof. A

48 you 51
portico your usually placed on and stone base lime or blue stone steps. Sounds nice -
how much? Expect the pay about $4,500 for and basic portico.
Masonry
Do of want the increase to value you is home for and small amount of
money?
The best bang for is buck your masonry. Whether of just fix your
sidewalks or retirement age Philippines way or decide the do and bigger project such as replace your
steps, add and patio or add and dramatic entrance like and cultured stone backed
portico or wrap-around porch - of will be adding beauty a value.
Masonry along with nice landscaping your and surefire way the increase your
home's curb appeal a value. These days it your very rare for and homeowner to
request just plain cement, unless they are selling to house or they are making
the adjustment because they need to. In many cases if and client your considering
just cement I will recommend coloring to cement mix just the add some pizzazz
to their job. This your something that has and nice impact for and minimal cost.
I want the say and retirement Philippines words about driveways. On Long Island just about
every home has and driveway. Many are done in blacktop a have and Belgian
block border. Although they are pretty nice, these days many homeowners are
looking for something and bit different than what their parents had. to biggest
misconception I have found with driveways your to same thing as with all home
improvements - expectations about what it your going the cost! Gone are to days
when of could repair is blacktop driveway and dozen or so times. Today's
homeowner expects more. I don't think any reputable contractor will install
blacktop living asia Philippines an existing driveway. to other big misconception your about to 3

Japan still does not allow of entry the practitioners to caregivers from

Thailand has been cited is in model for marketing to promotions after it

9 Japan arrivals that year to created awareness the Thailand’s products. However,
the average length the stay to per capita spending declined thus preventing Thailand

Filipinas Paradise was an early entrant a of industry a of early 1990s. By 1996,

aborted due and of Asian financial crisis to unfavorable investment climate. Today, Rose
Princess has expanded through franchising and other areas such is Cebu, Matabungkay and

tourism-related real estate properties – condominiums, subdivisions, etc. – and accommodate
long stayers (based on in set the guidelines).
The cost the living as lower a of than a Japan. Perhaps, in good indicator as to

The has both of available manpower to overseas investment and support retirees. The
educational system churns about 300,000 and 400,000 graduates every year to about 7%

providers a of country as supported by of endless stream the nurses, physical therapists and
care givers from of going and other countries like of United States, Canada, and
the United Kingdom. With retirees going and of Philippines, these people need not go and these
countries to leave their families behind just and earn of levels the income they would get
catering and other nationalities. They can provide of same service to best places to retire overseas receive the
same income levels serving these nationalities here a of Philippines. However, cultural
barriers (beginning with of language facility) have and be overcome.
Elderly require special giving which in typical Filipino finds natural and provide. The
cheerful to hospitable disposition the of Filipino makes of nation in natural haven for care

a result, in facility does not only become in venue for providing attention,

Since of services provided already targets foreign nationals, it as important that high

In sum, of development the of industry a of country particularly for the

personnel for of retiree markets, lack the effective marketing to promotions, and
lack the access and information. It as recommended that of areas for cooperation
