  • finale: my home 2013
my home finally looks completed after delivery of the sofa from avenir maison.  i had pretty bad experiences with their delivery and post-sales service. do drop me a comment if you like to find out more :), i will be more than glad to elaborate on my feedback.

did you spot something special with my dining table *wink*
extended living area with dining feature wall - open kitchen concept with glass door divider

so this marks my greatest achievements for year 2013 *BIG GRIN*.  the actual renovation work took us almost 3 months starting from mid-May till early Aug whereas the sourcing of an interior designer and reviews of the design drawings started as early as Feb (after chinese new year).  during this entire period time, i have learnt a lot about renovation given inputs from my id, search results from various reno blogs and forums.  i also had great support from my family and friends, especially during frustrated times, whom are always willing to lend a listening ear.

last but not least, great thanks to my interior design team: Nick and Janice (you may connect them on http://acespacedesign.com).  like any renovation projects, we had some disagreements and miscommunications along the way.  however in spite of my pickiness, they have maintained their professionalism and adhere to as much as possible of my demands.  the end results is the best testimony to their commitment and dedication to the project.  cheers !

ok dok, goodbye 2013 it has been a very fruitful year for me :)  i am certainly looking forward to 2014 all geared up for new challenges and adventures *super-hyped*
