I don’t know if we want to go for green though – I love red bedsheets and I don’t particularly want it to be all Christmassy in the bedroom all the time. But forest green bedroom walls are lovely.

New!

It occurred to me: the reason why our house looks so bare, is that everything is white.

The walls, the kitchen cabinets, the custom cabinet. It’s all white. And I love color.

We’re going to have to do something about that!

Paint chips out!

So we got our keys today!

And we went to put a new lock on the gate and inspect the place and dance around it madly in a celebratory fashion, screaming “It’s ours! It’s ours!” while flailing our arms about and grinning like drunk savages.

Got this pic of Bali’s Holiday Inn from Xiaxue’s blog. I believe photo credit goes to her.

See the colors? See? SEE?

:D

It’s been a long-kept secret that we’ve already bought a flat – most people know by now, but we actually bought the place in January, heh. We didn’t want to talk about the flat until he’d officially proposed, and that milestone is long past, but I never really got around to posting about it here. It’s a 4-room flat, awfully near where his parents stay now, and just about 7 minutes away from my own house, and we’re served by the brand new Circle Line. It’s a top floor flat, secluded because we’re in the corner and we only have one neighbor on our floor.

All in all, a pretty good deal :)

So here’s some pics of our flat, the day before we officially get the keys!

This is what it looked like today during our last inspection, with everything moved out.

The rest of the photos were taken back in January, when previous owner was still in occupancy.

Living room (left side)

Living room (right side) yes…previous owner had a wine fridge. Gaaah.

The study. Yes, previous owner had a rack of expensive branded handbags. Gaaaaaaaah.

(this is the study now, empty)

The previous owner hacked down the wall between the master bedroom and the adjoining room, making one huge bedroom. Awesome. AND. You can actually see the Singapore Flyer from the window! Perfectly framed between two buildings, too. Fireworks on NDP!! THRILL!

The vanity area, bounded by the master bathroom and a custom wardrobe. Nice. Really, it was this square sink that sealed the deal for me. That and the SG Flyer. :P

Keys tomorrow! And then contractor be coming in, and we’ll be pricing the Ikea kitchen, and then we’ll be replastering and repainting the walls, and then we’ll be furniture-shopping yay!

Fun!

Completely in love with this beautiful clutch on Etsy. It’s USD16. Should I buy it? :D I could use it for the wedding lunch.

Love Droplets is a gorgeous flower site. Too bad she didn’t respond to any of my mails when I was sourcing for quotes – and anyway, it looks a lot pricier than my vendor, so I’m good. But Love Droplets has really lovely arrangements.

Gerberas

This is almost exactly what I’m looking for – just picture the gerbera in red

Isn’t this a fantastic arrangement? Peranakan themed :) Surprisingly, I love the carnations. Poor bride’s peonies :P

More red gerberas. Love.

All above pics from Love Droplets :)

And this is the setup we’re planning for our church ceremony…only picture the pail in white, the ribbon in Tiffany blue, and the flower a red gerbera….heh. This picture from Blissful Thots, my own vendor.
