2020 is finally coming to an end and although Covid-19 hit SG this year and it affected most of our lives, i’m glad our wedding went really well for both SG and Malaysia side and we have our family and friends with us. Plus we got to go for our honeymoon at Australia where we flew to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Furthermore, we got the keys to our new home and started our renovation. Hope 2021 will bring more happiness for everyone. Stay safe and have a blast.

The second round of carpentry is going to be fixed up for our home today. And needless to say, we went down to take a look again to see what the carpenters are going to fix up today. So happy to see the cupboard and drawers at the kitchen area are partially up. Really love the carpentry work that was done for the shoe rack area.

Day 35 of Renovation @ Northshore Residences
Yeah finally the master bathroom louvred door is getting fixed up today. Can't wait to see the completed piece once we have the door painted black and a double coat of paint is up :) Initially we wanted to put up a barn door because i really love the design but too bad we can't because of the aircon trunking and the position of the aircon. So here we are with our wooden louvred door. We opted for wood instead of aluminium because we wanted a aesthetic appeal to our master room by integrating a bit of nature in our home. We felt that aluminium would make the door really light and it would be the same material that HDB gave us which we dislike because the door seems to swing really fast when we just open the door lightly.

We are so happy to see that the lights for our home are 80% installed and now what's left are just the carpentry. Two ceiling fans are also being installed in bedroom 1 and 2. Can't wait for the fan at the living area to be up soon.

Visit to Steigen Singapore Showroom
For someone who enjoys doing laundry, I would definitely want the right tool for the job because to be honest, “You're only as good as the tools you use”, so choosing the correct tool will definitely decrease the amount of effort required to get a job done right. So, if you don't already know, Steigen Singapore is a company that produces laundry racks that improves the lives of consumers through technology. To be honest, I would go for no other brands other than Steigen because of the sleek design of its laundry racks, and the functions that comes with it.
I am so glad we visited Steigen showroom because it blew me away right away when I saw Steigen's latest Solar Alpha model. Initially we only wanted to go for the Solar Ultra model but hey once you caught eye on the Solar Alpha, you would want to get it home right away. The latest Solar Alpha model comes with improved features such as 60°C solar heaters, inbuilt ioniser and dust mite repeller (which is also available with the Solar Ultra model), and it could support up to 50kg of laundry plus it comes with built-in clothes clips as well.
So, needless to say, we went ahead and purchase Solar Alpha model and we got it at a discount under the Northshore Residences Groupbuy promotion :)

Day 18 of Renovation @ Northshore Residences
The painters are so efficient that they actually finish painting the first layer of paint for our whole house. Love the colors that we have chosen because it's not too dark even though we go for Smoke Gray (2045) and Gray Glove (1991) for our master room, Ash Grey (5037) for our living room, and Intimate White (1007) for bedrooms 1 & 2.

Day 17 of Renovation @ Northshore Residences
I think the renovation for our home is really progressing fast as the painters are coming down to lay the protection before they start painting the first layer of paint for our home today after we decided on the colors yesterday. Can't wait to see how it all turns out :)
