Upside-down Umbrellas


The first thing I did was make one loud gasp. Followed by even louder gasps.

The sight of hundreds of white umbrellas hanging down the ceiling of this room of “Le Jardin de Gabriel” (the 23rd floor of Lita's building at The fort), is breathtaking indeed. But then, again, Lita's interior designing ideas always are.


Lita has a book, which I helped her with, and thirty years of grace to show for them. She has been blessed with eyes to see what looks good—and in this case, gasp-inducing—for any structure's interior.

The huge room has a beautiful view of the whole of Makati, Ortigas, and of course, The Fort. From the outside, the view of this room is just as beautiful.

On my way home after I saw that umbrella room, it rained. Irony of ironies, I had no umbrella!

There are really good concepts out of common things. Sometimes we just neglect that beauty comes from simple ideas using the simplest of means. God bless you!

What a beautiful creation, those umbrellas.

I like your site Ms Grace. I had it bookmarked in my browser for nearly a year actually. Thanks for sharing.

What a coincidence that your blogsite is "Lost umbrella!" Thanks for the visit. Oh, those umbrellas were taken down after Christmas!
