  • Hey there! we are itshomelee, family of 4 + 1 doggo. Join us as we share more about our second and probably final home, a 30 year-old Maisonette in the northeast of SG. The theme of our home is warm japandi as we want to create a welcoming vibe for us to chill and relax.
  • We wanted to create more open spaces and reduce the amount of exposed clutter. Hence, you would see quite a few in-built carpentry and clear segregation of areas.
  • This is my personal favorite spot. There are a few times where I fell asleep on the sofa (partly because I was too lazy to walk upstairs to the bed). The addition of plants breaks away the emptiness of the open spaces.
  • We love the look of our orange pastel well. The feature wall is a partition wall that utilises the recess area of the older HDB flats. Yay to one less carpentry!
  • At the back of the living room is an artwork of pointillism by Antoniuk Nadiia.
  • Inspired by many western homes on pinterest, an idea that will save my back in the long run. Will share more about this in our upcoming posts.
  • Always wanted to be a plant parent in my first home, but it small and lacked sunlight. Now I can finally do it!
  • Separate powder room between the kitchen and the balcony. This proves to be very useful for handwashing items on our 600mm countertop sink from TOTO.
  • Oil painting of the sunrise that we captured in 2015 (i think...) in Mount Alishan, Taiwan. Commissioned by Behshad Arjomandi.
  • Outside of our Level 2 common bathroom.
  • Having fun with the colours for the bathroom used mainly by our kids. Sometimes, we sneak inside to shower as the bathroom is bigger than ours!
