Before Renovation

The sellers Mr S... and his step-daughter Ms Lena C... and I were at the HDB office on Thu 10-Jan-08 for the 2nd appointment to seal the final legal documentation for the sale & purchase of the flat.

Today the ID went with me to the flat for a joint inspection to understand what I wanted to renovate. He needed to do that before he could draft a proposal. I felt he was earnest, sincere and competent.

Subsequently he was unable to undertake my renovation. He admitted he was already overwhelmed with other projects on hand when I queried why I did not receive his written proposal after the joint visit despite a lapse of two weeks. Pity!

It is always a challenge for architects or interior designers to design a beautiful interior or home that is compelling and appeals to the senses. Because good design is not articulated but seen and felt. Wham! The design hits you and you are lost for words! You know when you see it. It's so visceral !

That's the motivation behind this series. The beautiful interiors and homes inspired me when I renovated my home. And helped my ID to have a better idea and picture of what I wanted. Hope you find it inspiring and useful too.

Art for Your Beautiful Home

After weeks of never-ending research. Reading, planning, sketching. Rushing about here-and-there. Shopping for lights, appliances and stuff. Often wondering if you've chosen the right ID. Even dreaming about colors and swatches in your sleep. You finally held the key. The moment you've been waiting for. You turned the lock and opened the door. You stood there for a moment, speechless and amazed. Your dream has become Reality. What was once tired-looking, dusty, musty is now Beautiful, Warm, Cozy. A Place you affectionately called Home.

Congratulation! You have completed your Home Renovation!
