the 1st two shelves are custom made to fit the heights of the houses here in Singapore. most of the apartments here have some custom work done, and then we buy furniture to fit the rest of the area.

for the fifth pic, it's actually a clear glass panel separating the bathroom from the room. and the apartments here are so small, we have to sometimes fit a small work desk in our bedrooms. and to visually enlarge the room size, we use glass panels for the bathrooms. though i personally think it's ridiculous because guests sometimes have to use your bathroom. haha.

Many of the shop houses have been converted to cafes, backpackers/small hotels, bridal boutiques, and office space. I'm working in one right now. Doing interior design, and we have a backpackers hostel above us on the 2nd floor which also bought over the 3rd floor and converted it into a beautiful roof garden.

it's nicely done, not over the board cheesy kitschy children home design. It's so fun but yet mature. thats y we all like it.

but i do enjoy looking at picture 9.

in our tropical weather, mostly humid and hot, tiled floors make it easy to mop and clean up.
wallpapers don't last as long in this weather as well, but hardly anybody does tiled feature walls now.

this looks fun minus the chalk dust.

for a more practical solution, how about using black glass and white-coloured markers? :)

i think it's really cool, but more suitable for houses with ceiling heights more than 3m, or even better if you have double volume ceilings.

also it has to be balanced with an adequate amount of daylight/lighting so that everything doesn't appear to be too dark.

even when you know what your weaknesses are, how do you curb them?

i tried tracking my expenses, so i understand it's hard to track cash. thus i've given up and have been using an "estimate" method to sort of budget my expenses. any ideas on an easy way to keep track of these all?

it's an interesting contraption if you're the type who leave your umbrella right by the door, and only decide if you wanna bring it right before you leave.

would say it's not worth the $$$ but still a fun concept :)

I live in singapore,

we stay in apartment flats with holes on the exterior walls for us to "poke" bamboo poles in them, whereby we hang our clothes. Sounds ridiculous? haha this is the way most people dry their clothes if they want them to dry outdoors.

if not we also have hangers to support the poles for drying indoors!

of course you can get a dryer here but the sun gives our clothes a fresh "sunny" smell!!
