Colin and his wife (@therollyjollyhome), like many couples, initially set their sights on applying for a BTO (Build-To-Order) flat. However, despite their hopes and efforts, fortune did not smile upon them, and their journey through the BTO/SBF route ended in disappointment.

), like many couples, initially set their sights on applying for a BTO flat. However, despite their hopes and efforts, fortune did not smile upon them, and their journey through the BTO/SBF route ended in disappointment.
Fortunately, their perseverance paid off when they discovered a 121-square-meter resale HDB that captured their hearts. The couple wanted something timeless for the style of their home - a place where they could also host gatherings for the people who are dear to them. For the sofa, a pastel pink svelte piece was chosen, which goes with the soft vibes of the space. And instead of a floor lamp, they chose to go with ambient cove light.
What was particularly interesting here was the countertop that was made from engineered wood called Onewood. Aside from being more durable compared to normal wood, it was also perfectly aligned with the design the couple wanted for a unique feature piece. Colin said there were no changes in the common bedroom. On the other hand, common bedroom two had to be downsized and reconfigured with an open arch to open up the area.Some people don't bother about yard areas, but the couple really highlighted the space with an arch-tiled feature wall and a curved freestanding basin.
As they wanted their island to be the heart of their house, Serene and Yuhui offered unique suggestions for the island's design. From the shape to the materials and even the tile detailing, their IDs were very meticulous, through and through. "Mrs even has side drawers for her baking equipment," Colin shared, "and I have my wine chiller tucked under."
"I think many times, as a new homeowner, you want to source out the best deals. But we'd say go with an ID you trust because they have their own 'good deals or insider info' from all the experiences that they've gained too."
