JB home hunt 🕵🏻‍♀️

we made a trip to JB to check out some furniture & lighting stores — here’s our honest take on where we went 👇 📍 big brain (danga utama) this was actually our last stop — we almost skipped it but decided to “just see see”… and it ended up being where we bought our sofa. we sat on the decisi

we spent HOW MUCH on hacking?! 😵

hacking sounds dramatic (and expensive), so we wanted to share the real numbers behind ours, all in the spirit of cost transparency in this industry! slightly under 10% of our total renovation cost went into hacking — but that’s not the full picture, so here’s what to keep in mind 👇 🔨 hackin

furniture hunting @ Tan Boon Liat! 🛋️

we visited a handful of showrooms and here’s what we thought! 📍 grey & sanders — good selection of ready-made furniture; wood slabs looked promising but a little underwhelming for what we wanted. 📍 commune — gorgeous showroom and lovely pieces, but prices are on the steeper side. 📍 ipse i

design tools we used during reno! 🥸

as a designer, i’m a visual creature — i need to see things before i can decide. these free platforms helped me so much in the pre-reno phase and gave us a clearer idea of what we wanted even before looping in our interior designer 👇 1️⃣ Figma – for moodboarding, brainstorming, and annotating id
