Bea & Bianca Co.

Mga mommies, look at this!

I came across this cute little study table with chair for pre-schoolers and na cute-an jud ko. Perfect and pagka-purple and white combo! 💟🐰💜

I am actually planning to get one for my second-born (para diri na siya magsulat, among wall hapit na mapuno sa iyang mga kuriskuris 😭), so I thought I’d share it here in case nangita sad mo ug something like this for your little ones.

Sharing lang kay basin naa’y mama nga nangita pud ani and if anyone wants to pasabuy, let me know.

A little trip down our archive. 🤍

These were photos our customers sent us over the years, real spaces, real homes, and some of our favorite pieces finding their place.

This particular table was one of our bestsellers.

I loved how differently everyone made it their own.

Some used it for studying.
Some for work.
Some for both.

And looking at these photos now, years later, I realize that what we sold was never really just a table.

It became a little corner where someone studied, worked, dreamed, created, and lived.

Unta lang naa pa gihapon sa inyoha until now.

It would be so beautiful to know that these little pieces of us are still somewhere in your homes, quietly witnessing the lives you’ve built since then. 🤍

Found this old photo in my archives. 🤎

Few boxes left to deliver. Gabie na. Ako pa nag-drive, diskarga, usahay mutabang pa alsa pasulod sa balay sa customer. May gani wala nabughat lol

Then pag-uli sa balay, mag-reply pa sa mga customers kay basin masuko dili mareply-an. 😂

Drive. Diskarga. Tabang alsa. Deliver. Mag-post. Call sa suppliers. Reply sa messages. Then repeat again the next day.

No delivery riders yet. No staff. Just me, my car, a few boxes, and a lot of determination.

Looking back, I honestly don’t know how I managed to do all of it.

It was exhausting. Very exhausting.

But somehow, it was also fulfilling.

These were things I used to do without thinking twice. And now, looking at these old photos, I find myself missing those little moments.

Allow me to immerse myself in these memories for a while.

I lived this chapter once.

Let me remember it. 🥹🤎

Do you remember us? 🤍

It’s been a while.

And looking at this old photo, I can’t help but smile at how unexpectedly all of this started.

Because before there was a store…
before there were suppliers, delivery riders, hundreds of orders, and a showroom…

there was just one table.

In 2021, I was a med student who had suddenly lost her scholarship and found herself having to pause medical school and figure out what to do next.

I had a study table and some book stands that I was no longer using, so I decided to sell them.

I posted them online.

Someone bought my table.

Then the messages started coming.

“Is this still available?”
“Do you have another one?”
“Can I order one?”

The funny thing was…

I didn’t have another one. 😂

But I needed the income, so I thought, why not look for one?

So I searched for a supplier.
I negotiated prices.
I revived my old page.

And I posted:

“Now Available: Study tables.”

I had no business plan.
No capital set aside for a furniture business.

Honestly, I didn’t even know I was starting a business.

I was simply trying to figure out what I could do next.

And then that little post went viral.

It reached people beyond Davao, even people from Visayas and Luzon started messaging.

And somehow, Bea & Bianca Co. was born.

At the beginning, there was no store.

No warehouse.
No delivery rider.
No staff.

There was just me.

Answering messages.
Posting.
Taking orders.
Picking up stocks directly from the supplier.
Driving around.
And personally delivering furniture to customers.

Even to other cities.

Sometimes for a delivery fee that probably wasn’t even worth the gas.

But I didn’t mind.

Because every order meant that someone trusted this little business I was trying to build.

And I will always be grateful for that.

And yes…

my very first delivery assistant was my daughter. 😂🤍

She came with me on those early deliveries, sitting in the back of the car while I drove around delivering furniture.

This photo was taken during one of those days.

Looking at it now, I realize how little we had back then, and how much hope there was in that little car.

Then, in February 2022, something I never imagined when I sold that first table happened:

We opened our first physical store.

That little idea that started with one unused study table became hundreds of orders, countless conversations, long drives, mistakes, lessons, friendships, and memories that I still carry with me today.

Many of the people who were part of those early days were students.

Some were furnishing their first homes.
Some were starting families.
Some were simply there to support a small business they believed in.

And some of the medical students who bought their study tables from us are now doctors. 🥹

It’s funny how quickly life moves.

In 2024, we eventually closed our doors and stepped away from the business. Life had changed, and it was time for me to focus on other things.

Looking back now, I realize that Bea & Bianca taught me much more than I ever expected a furniture business could.

It taught me how to start before I felt ready.

How to figure things out along the way.

How much can happen when you simply take the next step.

And most of all, how something that begins out of necessity can eventually become something you look back on with so much gratitude.

I don’t know exactly what the next chapter holds for Bea & Bianca Co.

But I know that I’m grateful for the chapter that came before it.

For the one table that started it all.

For every customer who trusted me.

For every delivery, every late night, every lesson, and every person who became part of the story.

Thank you for being part of Bea & Bianca. 🤍
