    • Welcome to our entryway! This cozy, inviting space is actually an extra recess area that we could purchase as part of our HDB unit. The process was a journey of patience and persistence, with HDB approval taking anywhere from 3 to 6 months. We remember the constant follow-ups, eagerly awaiting the green light.
    • This recess area has become something of a love-hate space for us, endless paperwork and waiting, yet it’s now an essential part of our home, setting the warm, natural tone as we step into our home.
    • These few steps, they make all the difference elevating the entryway experience and creating a natural flow into the heart of our home.
    • We customized a cabinet to hide the electrical meter, giving it a clean and seamless look in our entryway.
    • Inside, we added a few cute touches like this adorable cloud postcard and mini figurines to add a playful surprise every time we open it. It's a little hidden corner of joy that makes even the practical things feel special.
    • This entryway has truly become a cherished little corner of our home. The extra space, with its warm wooden tones and soft light streaming through the blinds, feels like a private retreat right by the window. Sometimes, we find ourselves just settling here with a coffee, enjoying quiet conversations and taking in the moment. It's more than just an entry, it's a cozy nook that adds character and comfort to our home.
