The Project

In four months' time, I will be getting the keys to my new flat in the Centrio Development. I'm really looking forward to having my own place again but have to start planning now if I want to move in asap. My unit is teeny tiny. Only 623 sq ft divided over two floors. I think it is probably one of those units they managed to scrap together after drawing up standard-sized units. Here's the floor plan:

There are really two reasons for me to start this blog. It would be quite nice to have a record of my latest home decor project. My biggest regret is not taking enough pictures of my last apartment, before and after. I was really proud of the place until I visited The Tenant last month. I was horrified to see what she did to it but I will save this story for another day.

I also want to encourage others to be more adventurous with their home decor. Most Asians are terribly dull when it comes to interiors - we live in white/beige environments and surround ourselves with ugly, uncomfortable furniture under the glare of awful fluorescent lighting. No wonder we are such an uncreative lot. Creating an interesting home does not have to be expensive. In fact, my own ethos is to live as comfortably and as cost-effectively as possible by adapting our homes to our environment. So there will be no hardsell of any designer furniture or design style. I'm going to be putting together the new and the old, the white and the colourful and hope that it all works out in the end.
