My new home as four different colors. My interior designer nearly fainted after I chose bright yellow for the feature wall in the living room, lime green wall in the kitchen coupled with an all-black kitchen, two toned blue walls in the bedroom, and a bright red wall in the 2nd bedroom. For the colors to stand out, the rest of the walls and ceiling in the rooms will be painted a brilliant white. Being on the 23rd (0f 25) floor enables sunlight streaming in from all corners of the house, thus upping the flash factor.
Yes yes, brilliant white is uber-cool but impractical. But I'd better do impractical before I get married, settle down and have kids.
Unfortunately I didn't get my way for one major change I wanted to make, that is, to break down the wall separating the room and the bathroom to replace with clear glass. The bathrooms are tiny, and I wanted to create some space but unfortunately that wall is just a brick wall without any beams, so apparently there's nothing we can do about it because my airconditioner can't be moved elsewhere.
Oh well. Be heading back to IKEA tomorrow with a handy helping pair of hands to be my pack mule. :D Since I've busted my renovation budget, I've to buy the finishes like curtain rails etc from IKEA.
-------------------
Was at IKEA earlier getting a pair of curtains cut and measured when some Malay bimbo rudely interrupted the guy who was serving me to ask -
"One blind can cover how many ft window?"
"How long is your window, miss?"
"Two panel."
"No, whats the measurement?"
"The samela, two panel! All sama kan, the condo punya window."
"No miss, we still need measurement to be safe. No window has the same length."
At this point, I lost it, and turned to her and said snarkily, "This is IKEA. The reason why that blind is 39.90 is because its DIY. That means all of us have to come here with measurements."
Must be some Malay datuk's mistress.
