Selection of Paint Colors:

Mickey!! i also have lollipop on one of my smallest wall... heh... i love the colour, but now thinking if its too striking...

Ok ok. Something more to show today.

As what most enviromentalists predicted, despite after so many rounds of discussion, there is no concrete plan to fight climate changes.

To show our support to fight climate changes and for our future generations, my home will have this:

We will be constructing my mini 'garden' walls with climbing plants! It will be an ambitious project (at least we feel so) to get this successful! ID suggested this and we were quite skeptical abt it initially. But I believe it is worth to try for a better cause! My mum is gd with plants too! So she can help. And plants help to bring down the temperature of any living space. ID wanted to construct water pipe to this area but we think if the water pipe bursts in the future, my feature wall or false ceiling will be gone case liao. So most probably will use conventional method for irrigation. But it will be a medium term project for us. So for now.... we will use fake plants! . Once the real ones are ready, will replace the fake with the real ones. And oh, ID still don't know we accepted his suggestion. Hee. We told ID wanted to put plants at this area. And so he suggested why not do something more ambitious and different. We see climbing plants on these green-label buildings. So why not. ID also feel covered walls are too common. The amount of green will be very pleasing and suit what we are going for.

From the pic, I also highlighted something else. There is suppose to be slight kerb constructed for the 3 glass panels which will separate the 2 areas. But haven't rectify yet.

Lollipop is quite striking but is actually consider a darker color. Fuschia pink is the main color for our wedding. Black is the other.

So we want to use this paint color for our first home. We will be using this color for a big area. Hehe.

first of all... thank you for ur part in fighting climate change.. heh..

love the idea.. cant wait to see how it turns out.. and i like the colors u have chosen too..

unfortunately my hubby doesnt like too many colors painted in our place so its just plain white.. to look spacious wor.. only have 1 wall next to our dining table which is Champagne color..

no no. hee. my wedding was last yr. i should have typed "was" instead of "is". me bad. hee.

our ballroom was decorated in fuschia pink and black.

are u decorating it in pink and black? if so, i would think it is not advisable to wear pink and black, unless u want to blend in with the surrounding rather than stand out among the crowds being the bride and the star of the day.

some wedding decor pics.

even our wedding cake and wedding favours (mini cakes) are in light shade of pink, fuschia pink flowers and black satin ribbon. hee.

solemnisation venue was also decorated with bright pink flowers.

argh... time really flies. all these are really sweet memories for me.

so amrasenelya, have a wonderful time and enjoy every single second of your wedding.

back to reno, quite a bit are done already. but still many things not done yet.

green wall.. let me quote something from home n decor.

"green walls provide a novel and aesthetically pleasing solution for those who lack of floor space. mix and match plants of different colours and textures to create a living work of art."

actually, my ID showed me his idea I think abt 5 or 6 wks ago. i was reading up on this during my free time before both of us decided on it now. hee.

due to our new layout, we actually created a few additional walls. and we also painting our round false ceiling with the mosaic grey to bring out the shine of the crystal lights. that why we have quite a few paint colors. i think some of our reno mates are choosing to paint even more colors.

white is an excellent color! ur home will look bright and spacious. i think it doesn't matter how many colors u have, but more of whether this is what u prefer and like. really, just a matter of preference.

wahhh Firstly I love that corner which will really make you work at it. haha But it'll really be unique and certainly good for your household. Eventually when you (if you) have kids then your kids can learn some responsibility by taking care of the plants! They have have one which will grow with them.

Secondly I love the sofa. And I think... I know what yellow and grey... prolly pastel yellow and a medium neutral grey. haha i have a few tops in that colour combi.

And.. I love the way your wedding venue was done. beautiful and inspiring.

wow thank YOU for sharing your pics Mickey.. those are lovely shots! you can always look back upon those memories every now and then.. im so excited for the day to come yet afraid for it to be over.. haha..

we wont be decorating the venue in pink and black, even the table cloth also not taking red, cus i also scared to blend into the surrounding.. ahh yes... we are actually enjoying it but could have been better if both wedding and reno didnt happen together, but not a choice we could make as the flat came into the picture much later..

hehe, if ure talking about carpentry, i guess they would have already started work in the factory, so once they bring them in, it'd be super fast! i hope my carpentry can come in this week too!

pinkpetter, why u change your contractor to Ah XXXX. becos of the issue he is causing many of our reno mates? hee.

i think green walls will be nice. but will be some time to go before the fake green walls will be replaced by real ones. will work on it once my reservist in jan is over. i think such works also express the personality of the owners. hee. yah, when i have kids in the future, i hope they love nature (and disneylands of cos). heehee.

i hope the sofa will turn up well. haven't choose the material yet.

i see that u went hk in your blog, any disneyland trip? heehee.

don't worry. no matter what colors our walls or furnitures are, everyone need to do the cleaning chores. . jurong is very very dusty, so i don't think u will be in a worse scenario than me. hee. so let's us buck up for our own family.

hopefully crystals light would turn out well. if only ceiling can be higher...
