YAY!!!! you've moved in! congrats! it's looking lovely and lol.....! i lurve how maomao crashed into most of yr pixs! she IS the queen! just like our bailey, he too a whole 24 hrs to get used to our new place... HE stressed us out as the moment we moved in he jumped towards the window grilles and clung on to it! was really dramatic.. NOW?! he is bloody king.... (a least i know the hse not haunted la..you know pets are sensitive) As docile as Bailey is... i was shocked to see him hiss at one of our neighbours.... he HAS NEVER done that to anyone... so my husband and I believe he knows something that we don't!

still here!!!!! & stalking yr blog!!!!

Congrats and welcome! here's wishing you a great reno. process ahead!!!!

hi Angelbutterfly, Its flattering to know you like what we did to our home. Usually most pple prefer Scandi. modern homes compared to our Scandi. vintage + industrial home. We're glad that we could inspire you with some of our DIYs. I believe they're quite straight forward and your contractor will have no probs replicating them I just went to take a look @ your common toilet you had written abt. I think it's an individual preference when it comes to colour, for us, we went with different shades of grey as we wanted it a little more industrial compared to the rest of the apartment. The dark toilet does have it's own share of maintenance issues too, like the whitish streaks due to lime scale etc (I've to constantly clean our black sink top with the micro-fibre fabric to get rid of lime-scale, besides limescale, the yellowish moisture grime can be seen too)... If your issue is maintaining the whiteness of the grout, baking soda is wonderful for keeping it clean, worst case scenario, there're grout repainters etc... Do keep the white tiles if you like the feel of it in yr toilet as every material has it's own material maintenance peeves. Lastly, the big pipes in our toilet does not have a kerb, it's straight dwn to the floor. I am however unsure if it's better to have a kerb or not... not sure if there's a reason why it should have a kerb or not. Once again, thanks for dropping by and your home is looking great! I look forward to more of yr photos!

Remember this? well... I completed refurbishing them it after we moved in & finally took some pixs. Here they are now.

We're using a similar pendant black frame light as you! We got it from Motto abt 3 mths ago, even bk then, there were only 2 left or something. Lurve how yr home s shaping up, really looking forward to more photos!

pfuuuuwaaaaahhhhh! LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats Adi!!!!

Hi Chergaby, thank you for your compliments. The ID who did my place is Marc Wong of Linear Space. We've had a wonderful experience working with him and his team of workers. No complains about the material usage and quality Happy Renovating

I heart yr shoe cabinet a lot.... and yr whole apartment too of course

Adi> Our home is really done up simply la... doubt it qualifies as a Mag-featured home... *blush* --------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, here's a little update. Due to our budget constrain and planning time, we did not do anything to the 2 common rooms and they've been our storage hubs the last 2 months. I've finally managed to slowly unpack some of the items. And settling in our new place has helped us decide what to do with both the rooms. We were unsure of what the rooms should be as I wanted a sewing studio as well as a mini home office space. He wanted a bike workshop room and music room. We've now manage to compromise that we'll only use the larger common room for ALL the above functions rather than both rooms and will keep the smaller room as a guest room. The challenge now is integrating everything together and LORD we need good storage solutions for our books, mags, bike parts, tools and my boxes and boxes and boxes of fabrics! Below are 2 moodboards that I've created. I think it's clear to see that moodboard 1 is too girly ;p & moodboard 2 is prob. the way to go. Am happy with both. Now to get started on working on the Studio/office/workshop. What happened to the music room? I've come to notice my other half is happy playing in the living room so I've decided to let that be for now. here're the moodboards

Am really excited to see more pixs of yr home! Ps, I bought the medium thickness plastic to line the shelves of my shoe cabinets!!!!

Hi!!! gotta leave a note to say I absolutely lurve yr suspended dining table and tv console!

Hi hi !!! Are the grooves expansion lines for hotter days etc..? I remember asking someone abt it before and was told the were....not sure if it's a design aesthetic or something. I had them in my sengkeng home that is a 7-10yr old flat. Hmmss... yea.. yr electrician does sound a little ex... I hope u'll manage to iron out the issues soon!

yr reno is looking good We used roller blinds for the living room and neutral coloured fabric curtains for our room to cozy up the bedroom. the other bedrooms have not been decided on.. ha! (too broke to think!, that'll be phase 2)

I've not been ard in a while thus my late reply..... OMG! is there a fengshui secret to yr youth? Am in total envy!!!! ps. why is it bad to have an open concept kitchen?

Woahhhh! i gotta vote for this...! different from a 'typical' kitchen yet totally functionalable! *drooooool!
