Hello. I Live Here!

posted on 9th September 2012 under Blog, Design, Interior, Personal

The words of Carrie Bradshaw when she found herself in real estate heaven during the first Sex and the City movie. We didn’t go around thirty plus viewings like her, but I tell you, we found this beautiful gem in a stroke of luck. Real estate here is selling like hotcakes despite the ridiculous prices. Bid wars are a common practice, but we got this baby uncontested for a reason that still baffled us up to now. My friends told me it’s destiny and I’m starting to believe them as the house/apartment is gradually transforming into a home that we envisioned.

+ The kitchen area. I’m still looking for the right tile style to add on the kitchen counter wall.

newhome2
+ The bedroom.

newhome3
+ The living area. It’s not yet finish since I’m planning to add a wallpaper on the wall behind the sofa. It’s going to be the focal point of the room as I’m going to apply a trompe l’oeil. Also I’m still contemplating whether I’m going to hide the wirings or not.

I’ll post more photos once I’m fully done transforming our little love nest :) I’m so sorry that it took some time to make an update. I was so engrossed with the moving and all that I didn’t notice the time that went by. Anyway, the most important thing is I’m back, captain!

  1. Yeah, am I your first guest to see your new place!
    I love your new place.
    But the bed is a bit too small, I think.
    A lot of things can happen there. ;o)
    Should get a super king size.

    Charles, I love everything in. That little kitchen with the naked exhaust gives drama to the dining area. Beautiful.

    You’ve started off very nicely, that much is clear.
    Don’t overdo it as far as decorations go, less can be more.

    It’s exciting to finally have a place one can call home, eh? I have experienced the feeling myself recently, as I finally found a flat I like, something I can call home for the moment, and it’s all for myself.

    I’ve been tired living with roommates back when I was a student, so it’s about time I live alone. I found an apartment in a quiet residential area of Berlin, yet still close to lots of stuff. I’m looking forward to personalizing it.

    I love the modern look, and I’m glad to see that moving in and decorating hasn’t burned you out too much! I can’t wait to see your trompe l’oeil!

    This is deliciously fun to watch it all unfold before our very eyes, Charles. Congratulations yet again to both of you!

  12. This looks AMAZING! I would be really afraid to live here for fear of messing it all up (I’m a messy person).

  19. Charles! oh my its breathtaking!! :-) Where did the rest of your stuff go??? I just moved into a new apartment too so I can relate. But yours is superrrrrrrrr gorgeous! In this PI, that would be a 1 bedroom condo at 600$ a month which is already expensive in this country! xoxo

    Glad to see the unveiling of your new abode. I like the white cabinetry of your kitchen, and your bedroom looks like something out of an indie design magazine. Glorious! I believe I have mentioned it either on Facebook or Instagram, but I am still digging those tea cushions in your living area.

    Great work doing up the place! You guys must be so proud.

    Have a great weekend, Charles!

  24. Ren says:

    I really love the simplicity of your place; it looks really cosy. I think it is going to look smashing once you add extra finishing touch like the trompe l’oeil. Loving your new love nest, hun <3
