Sneak Preview Singapore apartment

8rodyk2

Yeahhhh... I have talked about our Singapore apartment before and I have talked about white floors before... and finally after weeks renovation our apartment is finally finished and I am very very happy with the result. Last weekend my husband and I went together to give our favorite space in the world a good clean and we started to decorate a bit. Hopefully soon I will get some profesional photographers to come and help me take nice pictures of the whole apartment. 

Here is a before the renovation picture, the state in which we bought this place... together with architect Jacqueline Yeo from Ply-Studio we came up with ideas to make this apartment much brighter, wider and open.

ps. I'm in Singapore so let's start with some coffee

Sprk.ca

{beautiful cafe inspiration, Market Lane Cafe in Melbourne, via sprk ... the tiled wall would also do well as a kitchen in my own home}

Let's start with some coffee this Monday morning... we have been in Singapore again during the weekend and one thing I really love of being here (and yes miss in Kuala Lumpur) is having a simple but very good coffee in a nice ambience ... in Singapore I love to go to the place downstairs of our apartement block, called Kith cafe, yes even the NY Times did a nice write-up about them. 

Kithcafe

{Kith cafe in Singapore}

It's such a small little cafe, i believe 5 people are working here everyday from 7-7, 7 days a week sometimes... yes that is what you call hard work!... and everyday they serve you amazing food always with real friendly face. I often think why can't...............................................Read More>>>

Studio juju from Singapore

Studiojuju

Yes the internet is a great place... browsing one of my favorite tumblr blogs from far up North takes me all the way South to Singapore to the amazing work by studio juju... {image above: the Woble and Mushrooms}

I could easily copy-paste all their images from their website and show them here... but why don't you visit and experience yourself how hard it is to decide which design you like best...

Pomelo in Singapore

Poloma_barnelsnobel

Last week i told you about Singapore InDesign and the repost I have written for design-milk. Apart from visiting Dream interiors that day, I also went to a gorgeous furniture shop called Pomelo... a relatively small shop, but with a great selection chairs, tables, lights and accesoiries... some of which were fun for me to recognise from previous posts i had done... like the prints from Bold&Noble...

...George Nelson Bubble lamps , seeing them grouped together at Pomelo was really nice and this fun bench by Sam Hecht for Established&Sons...

Pulau Ubin in Singapore

Pulauubin_rik

Another Birthday in the family this week... Happy Birthday Love of my Life! It was a wonderful day today and I hope you enjoyed it too? We went to a small island here in Singapore, calles Pulau Ubin. Yes for you who didn't know Singapore has a couple of islands and some of them are absolutely worth visiting.

Pulau Ubin is known for it's bicycle tracks, so DUtch as we are we had to go and see for ourselves. We start by driving to Changi Village, but taking a taxi is a very simple alternative. At Changi Village you will find that brings you to the island, only 5 minutes away but a nice little adventure, especially for young kids :) see the image of the ferry here below.

Pulau Ubin is an island North East of Singapore where often said as the last “kampong” (village) in Singapore. When you arrive at the Island you are warmly welcomed by lot's of Chinese decoration and a world of bikes... bikes, bikes and more bikes... al for rent... that's what we did too of course :)

Haji Lane in Singapore

HajiLane_AThousandTales

Hello, sorry I wasn't able to post yesterday... it was my son's Birthday and we were/are celebrating it in our 'continuously better looking' apartment... see images below...  After a long day of strolling around Universal Studios I was in desperate need of some real inspiration (yes it was fun, but not my cup of tea) ... so my husband and I left the boys with the babysitter and went to Haji Lane, a little street in the Arab corner of Singapore which I had heard many good things of .... great fashion from indie designers, cute little things handmade... but nobody told me about this place: A Thousand Tales ... beautiful Scandinavian inspired furniture, newly made from mostly teak, showcased in a funky and cool shop + a small cafe! {image above via coolhunting}

Greenpoppies

Another shop at Haji Lane I really liked was Green Poppies, especially for their super cute stationery like these 'Keep It In A Notebook' and a little pouch that I forgot to buy... good reason to go back...
