WELCOME TO CHATEAU DU MER BEACH RESORT

If this is your first time in my site, welcome! Chateau Du Mer is a beach house and a Conference Hall. The beach house could now accommodate 10 guests, six in the main floor and four in the first floor( air conditioned room). In addition, you can now reserve your vacation dates ahead and pay the rental fees via PayPal. I hope to see you soon in Marinduque- Home of the Morions and Heart of the Philippines. The photo above was taken during our first Garden Wedding ceremony at The Chateau Du Mer Gardens. I have also posted my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes in this site.

An Addition to My Portrait Gallery and Simple Christmas Decor This Year

 

Four weeks ago, I ordered a Watercolor Painting Portrait created digitally by Designmemories.com as advertised in FaceBook. The ad states that completion is expected from 7 to 10 days. After 14 days, I have not heard from the company. I sent the company a couple of e-mails asking for order status update. I thought the company is a scam and commented on their FaceBook Page. Silence!!!

Three days later, I received a response from the company apologizing for the delay. They are swamped with orders and their mail tracking partner has changed. They responded that there will be another 7 t0 10 days of wait. 

Exactly 4 weeks after my order, the watercolor painting portrait arrived properly framed as I ordered it. I am very please with the results as shown in the photo above. It is a treasured addition to my Portrait Gallery.

For comparison of before and after here's the original photo that I uploaded for the company to work on. 


There are several companies in FaceBook advertising the same service- copying digitally your photograph to look a painting. You could choose several styles of painting such as watercolor, oil, acrylic etc...I have also ordered a water color portrait from paintus.com. Giftsshack.com and mapleinspirations.com are other companies doing similar service as designmemories.com.

You could order as a poster also, framed or unframed. The price will depend on the size and framing. It is not cheap. For example I paid $149 for the water color portrait with framing above, 18" x 24".  The smallest size 8" X 12" unframed varies from $49 to $69 with 2 persons in the photo. Additional charges will be charge for additional faces in the photograph submitted. 

Meanwhile here's some photos of my simple Christmas decor this year.




 



No Christmas tree this year-just the Parol from the Philippines


 

Meanwhile, this rendition of Spanish Romance by Hauser & Villegas reminds me of Macrine (RIP) and our younger years. One of Macrine's favorite piece.
