Sharing on uLi~ House Renovation

Finally my house renovation has completed. After 1.5 months of effort and the close monitoring by 肥肥, everything done in order, and now left only the decoration part which is still pending in hand, need to find time to shop for the right stuffs ^.^ Bravo to肥肥 as he contributed the most in this renovation no matter in terms of time, energy and $$ :P

Well, for those who renovated their house before, I believed you will understand that renovation is really not an easy task to handle, from defects checking > reno quotation > reno monitoring > furniture selection > furnishing > finishing. Challenges add-on if you need to deal with different contractors for different area of work, eg: electrical, piping, cabinets and etc. Even for the wall painting colors’ selection, we’ve been selecting the by flipping the catalogues over and over again….. what to do, no budget to hire ID…..lolx~ The master mind behind the reno project - ME! Of course, hubby contributed his idea but most of the time “kena” reject by me….hehehe! So I came out with the design idea, and he contributed his time and energy for execution ;-) Perfect match huh! *ehemmm*

We enjoyed a lot In shopping for the furniture, home appliances, and lightings. Basically we did cornice instead of the full plaster ceiling at our house due to we don’t wish to lower down the ceiling height and meanwhile, we can have the nice pendant lamp hook on the ceiling ^.^

Wallpaper and curtain plays the major role in terms of the home furnishing. In this area, we’ve engaged a freelancer for the affordable and quality of products & services. Love my master room’s wallpaper so much, it looks so much elegant now with this piece of wall art! I’ve also utilizes a lot of Korean wall décor stickers in decorating the rooms. I think it’s an great idea for inexpensive, creative, and cheerful interior design!

Okay! Too long winded already about the reno story, let’s move on with some messy reno progress pictures :-)

It's really messy right? Hahaha.....but the output is NICE~ So far, me and hubby SUPER SATISFIED with the reno results. Somehow, it’s our own idea and effort! The feelingz of self-satisfaction is just can’t describe by words…….Looking forward to move in to our home sweet home next week! Until now...Ciao~

That is normal for a house to be messy. I like your house. It is simple yet very cozy to live in.

Well, renovation is always so messy, unclean, and exhausting. Haha! But the best part is, after everything is over and done with, you’ll get to live and relax in your new, fresh, and lovely home. I wish I could see your new home, Uli. I’m really looking forward to it.

Well, yeah, house renovations can really be stressing, but you cannot deny the fact that you feel more excited than stressed out! :’) Of course, you can’t wait to see the whole process to be finished. For me, it’s okay to feel stressed. After all, you’ll definitely feel great and satisfied once you see the outcome!
