Welcome to my home, a space that has evolved over time, reflecting our love for coffee, slow living, and cozy vibes. When we first walked through these doors, I knew this would be the perfect place to create, unwind, and share unforgettable moments. 
The entryway is where everything starts. I wanted it to feel warm and inviting. A small wooden bench and a few well-placed plants give off a calming vibe right from the start. It’s a quiet welcome, with natural light bouncing off the walls, leading you further inside. 
The living room is where we spend most of my time, sipping coffee and creating content for my channels. The large windows let in plenty of light, making the space feel open yet cozy. A blend of modern and vintage pieces creates a balance between style and comfort, exactly the vibe I was going for. In one corner of the living room, I’ve set up my vinyl station, my personal sanctuary for music. It’s a nod to my love for slow, analog experiences. The wooden shelves house a growing collection of jazz and soul records, carefully curated over the years. My turntable sits on top, ready to fill the room with rich, warm sounds. It’s a space where I can pause, put on a record, and let the music take over, setting the perfect mood for a quiet evening or a relaxed morning with coffee. Right beside the living room is my coffee area, which also doubles as a dry pantry. It’s not just a spot for brewing coffee but a key part of my daily routine. When my coffee machine and grinder take center stage on the countertop, the shelves behind housing my collection of coffee gear and brewing tools collection. It’s organised yet accessible, blending into the open pantry where I keep other essentials neatly stored in the cabinet. The entryway into the kitchen is one of my favorite design elements. It features a three-quarter fluted glass panel set within a bi-sliding wooden door. This combination allows for a smooth transition between the spaces while still letting natural light filter through. The textured glass adds a subtle layer of privacy while creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow as the day progresses. It’s a functional yet stylish feature that makes the kitchen feel connected to the rest of the house, without losing the open and airy vibe. The kitchen is truly more my wife’s domain, where her love for light cooking and preparing sweet morning breakfasts comes to life. The clean lines and minimalist design of the kitchen reflect her style, functional, yet warm and inviting. It’s a space where she finds joy in creating meals that bring us together. She has a natural talent for keeping things organized, with everything having its place from neatly arranged jars of spices to the cookware she uses daily. The hidden drawer in a drawer really save up space. 
The bedroom is a place where we rest, our recharging space from the busy days. Soft lighting and neutral tones create a calming environment, perfect for winding down with a book or listening to slow jazz. I kept the design minimal but cozy. This door leads to out walk-in wardrobe. Similar to the kitchen entry, we installed a sliding door with a three-quarter fluted glass panel set in wood. This door adds a touch of elegance while serving a practical purpose. It keeps the space quiet if one of us is preparing for the day while the other is still sleeping. The door also helps maintain a clean, organized look, hiding away the wardrobe’s contents while still letting light pass through, keeping the area feeling bright and open. 
We converted one of the common bedroom into a walk-in wardrobe which features an L-shaped cupboard that maximizes storage and keeps everything neatly organized. We also made the decision to bring the washing sink out from the en-suite bathroom, giving us more space inside the bathroom itself and making the entire layout more efficient. The sink area blends seamlessly into the wardrobe, making it both practical and stylish. The L-shaped layout gives us plenty of space to hang clothes neatly, with open shelves for easy access to bags and accessories. We also have upper compartments for things we don’t need every day, which helps free up space below (eg. Travel luggage). Everything has its spot, so it’s easy to find what we need without digging around. The mix of open and closed storage keeps the room looking tidy, but still practical enough for everyday use. It’s been great for helping us stay organized and making our mornings less hectic. This room is my man cave, the place where all my creative energy flows. It's where I edit videos, do photoshoots, and find new inspiration for my work. The standing desk allows me to switch between sitting and standing, giving me flexibility during long editing sessions. The shelves behind me are filled with collectibles, gear, and gadgets that fuel my creativity, each item having its own place and story. This space is more than just a study; it’s where my ideas come to life. From content creation to brainstorming new projects, it's the hub of all my creative endeavors.
