Home! Oh Home!

33, Jalan TBC 32, Taman Bukit Cheng, Melaka will be our residence for the next decades to come. I had been shifting from house to house for the past 10 years since my college years and at long last we set our eyes on this double-storey terrace house : 20 minutes drive to the town, 15 minutes drive to work, 10 minutes drive to hypermarkets & 5 minutes drive to shops around and schools.
Despite it being on a hill slope and faces a playground with much wind throughout the day, we weren't very much in favor of its interior. This is when God sent my dear sister in Christ, Sis. Kim Lee, to help us in re-designing the whole interior of the house. I must say she is definitely a professional and skillful freelance interior designer. She managed to transform the relatively small and simple house to a spacious, modern yet simple and comfortable house. From plaster ceilings up to finding the right sofa for the house she is the mastermind behind.
Walls were knocked down to provide additional space, pipings were all concealed to produce a clean finishing, conventional lights were replaced with down lights for a comfortable atmosphere, tiles were changed for a modern outlook, kitchen cabinets and leading-edge kitchen appliances are to be installed. Sis. Kim Lee even suggested that we build-in the dining table, master bedroom bedframe + headboard and walk-in wardrobe. We bought her ideas at the very moment itself as we love them all. The exterior and interior of the house are to be painted with the colors of our taste. For those house buyers please do ensure termite treatment is done during house renovation to avoid future headaches.





She is expected to be finished end of this month and we are expected to celebrate Chinese New Year 2010 there...:).
While we eagerly anticipate for her to be completed, Gary & I definitely did and are enjoying every moment together in getting her to be completed. It is never a boring juncture doing anything with him. Never...:).
