The Black House with the Red Dog

Our very first house and home!

We moved in on the 17th of Dec last year, right after our church wedding.

It was soo exciting, amidst the frustration and blood vomitting caused by our ID.

Enough said, on to the virtual tour!

We don't like the usual run-off-the-mills wood, white, and popular zen look.

So we opted for our favourite colours, black and red.

This is the foyer, the space when you walk through the front door.

The colored squares are our hidden shoe cabinet cum bookshelf.

Most of our furniture and added ornaments were brought in from Bangkok. Yes! G and I and 4 other wonderful friends tireless "kang" the load back for us.. plates, clocks, red dog and all . =P

This is the next immediate view from the door way.

Our living room with a 'glass wall' separating the kitchen from the living room.

G of course wanted a bar corner, so he got an entire shelf.

I wanted red florescent lights because yellow and blue were soo over-used. It turned out a lovely hue of pink, which turned out fine for the decor anyway.

Our red odd-length sofa was custom made at a remote shop called Sanctuary dian located in the small off-road factory warehouse at Balestier. Love it to bits and it serves me well as a daybed. So who cares about the tall.

Our living room from the kitchen. We opted for a 90-inch screen and a Sanyo projector.

Before the time of govt grants, home loans, I never knew people had the option of having a projector rather then plasmas or LCDs. To me, this was the best buy we had.

Thats our kitchen and dinning room. We customized the kitchen sink to look like a design we saw with another ID. It takes up the entire table top at the far end corner and the tap was an ingenious idea by my ID to have it hanging from the ceiling to give it a seamless finish without it coming out from our kitchen top. The long island is actually inspired by my mother.

Those nights of pineapple jam rolling and cookie-cutter imprinting finally rubbed off onto me that one must have a decent long spacious counter to work on in the kitchen.

At least if I am intending to start baking finally, I will be prepared!

Finally, thats our bedroom. We knocked down the last bedroom to form the ultra long dinning concept, so we made this little area our own. Of course we need the TV, so thats as you can see, the bare essentials.

We did away with a toilet door and created another glass, open concept.

Was initially 'yeeks' by the idea, but grew accustomed to the idea. Our wardobe and study area is concealed behind the rotatable door.

Its already been a year since G and I called this place our home.

Of course it looks nothing like the pictures now.
