Bought this online and like how much it accentuates the quirkiness of our eclectic place. Finally, we have a door sign after more than 5 months of stay!

We also bought 2 wall-mounted mail holders from Urban Outfitters which turned out to be a nightmare! Bulky items which jacked up the shipping cost (my bad!) and they are rusty! Mr E is gonna do some DIY work on them to salvage it.

Sorry guys, this is totally not related to renovation but just have to share this warning.

When you do DIY work at home, make sure your fur-kids are not nearby...

We are still addicted to Taobao even though we have moved in for half a year! Guess most RTalkers are guilty of that too

Here's what we did to our main entrance

December is here and just like many, we put up the first X'mas tree at our little loft.

Again from Taobao with only the star tree topper & the mats from Ikea.

Happy holidays, peeps!

Another Taobao purchase: baby gate with a woody look to match our wood-like wall tiles! Cheaper to buy from TB than locally. Oh, dog not included

your entrance looks extremely inviting!

Thanks retch! Was thinking of drilling some wire baskets underneath the windows next to our entrance to put some plants but I think that's pushing our luck too much with the authorities lol... Though we saw some people doing that... Still thinking about it
