Faith no more, Home sick home

I seem to have misplaced my muse. So I'll mostly let the pictures speak. Though most people wouldn't bother much with a leased house ~ pride, stubborness and a fondness of hammering and cleaning employed me to give the house a little touch of what I may use in my future house o' dreams.

Note: As I didn't have any choice over the wall colours, I worked with what was given to me with what I already had. Except for the kitchen cabinets, hot water feature and air-conditioner, the house was empty when I moved in.

Shots of the living room. This is literally what you see as you walk in, the main entrance being a whole wall of sliding glass doors.The ratan pieces are castoffs from Old House from when the fam moved to New House. The rest are mine.

A few choice pieces of art ~ I nailed them on myself heheh

The bedroom walls are actually light grey. There's an overhead fluroscent tube light (which I hardly use). I like yellow lights at home. There's not much in the bedroom except an old three-legged armchair (courtesy of my old work place), a couple of chest of drawers (that hold mostly jammies) and a few books. I like my bedroom dark, cold and quiet. Am not quite happy with curtains (they let in too much light). Hummm maybe I am a vampire =)  

The bathroom and WC. Literal CLOSETS! teeny! But like I said, work with what you have. As long as they're clean and functional I have nothing to bitch about. At least there's hot water.

  The little study is off the kitchen. An odd place for a room I know, but the house is small. I chose this room for the study since I tend to smoke when I work late and don't want the house to stink. 

"To each his own" ~ and for some strange reason the kitchen and all its furnishings are BLUE. I am NOT generally a blue person. I like my living quarters in grey or white. But to "gel" with the flow a bit better I got those little cafe curtains for the sink (rm6) and a bunch of forget-me-nots. Works, don't you think?


There's another room where I keep all my ironing, laundry and make up. There's also a wet kitchen (where I cook and do the laundry) and an itty garden at the back (which I've only JUST cleared last Sunday). But I won't bore you with details just yet... if you'll excuse me, I have a Muse to catch =))
