Interior Design

Now that the outer shell is completed, interior designing takes centre stage. This is where I have been and will continue to be heavily involved. Our architect did not have much input in this as we preferred to go on our own. I am guided first and foremost by our budget. This is the single most critical factor in reining in the total cost for the house. It makes the project that much more challenging and fun.

To the extent possible, we recycled as many things from our old condo as possible. An old set of kitchen utensils works the same.

It was a conscious decision to have a disproportionately larger kitchen this time. We have them separated into wet and dry areas by full height sliding glass doors. We allocated a big part of our budget on fittings and faucets. Their quality can mean day and night, a lesson we've learned from our previous condo renovation.

This is how our dining table and wishbone chairs put together looked like. I love the contours of the chairs, and the organic feel they project. They make the space looked airy and light.

As you can tell, I'm trying hard to keep the main look of the house away from public eye for now. Hence, the abstract pictures here. There will come a time.
