The Garden Wedding

To update (as we received complaints that we were no longer updating this space – busy busy busy!), we’ve moved into our new place for about a month now (much longer than I felt it was.. haha) and it’s been just great! Other than having to deal with household chores (cleaning the house is no mean feat mind you, along with washing the clothes, cooking, cleaning the windows, etc etc), the whole idea of coming back to our own home felt really good. Of course, being able to spend so much time together felt really good too!

We’ve come a long way since the beginning of renovations, and I feel really proud of ourselves for having accomplished building a beautiful and homely home despite our busy schedules… There were many things we had to DIY or find alternatives for in order to fit our budget, and there were good deals/ sales that we made use of to obtain certain items, that we required, at a lower cost. No doubt an interesting but tiring experience, putting the whole house together felt good for the both of us.

Here’s a peek at our ‘almost complete’ home (with many items from IKEA and Bangkok! haha)

The cosy corner..
Some DIY designs…
The storeroom door, on its way to becoming…

…this!

The lamp we lugged back from Bangkok (it’s about a metre tall ok! Not easy! )

The evening view from our window (Beautiful, but we don’t often get to see it ‘cos by the time we get home, it’s dark! haha)
The dining area…

House warming anyone?

(*Note: Thanks to all who came over for CNY to liven our new home! It was great having everyone over! Thanks to all who brought gifts, really thoughtful of you guys!)
