This apartment is so beautiful, bright and clean. The color combination is just perfect 😍. Plz don't take this in the bad way but vets recommend to keep the cats' food and water a bit further from the litter box. They might not like to have their water/food too close from the area where they poop, just as we humans don't like to have our food close to the toilet. Again, beautiful home!

[@helloannesjay]

haha thanks!! yea thanks for the tip! will definite move their food and water further away from their litter haha!

[@judylloyd7901]

My favorite is the minimalistic design in every aspect of the house :)

[@kurisichin]

This is absolutely beautiful

[@TMithu]

Yeah they first mentioned kids.. then they showed the "kids room" which was locked with a big metal gate. It somehow felt weird...but then I saw the CUTE cats

[@PeriWinkle33957]

All beautiful. I love that you made your balcony an extra place to relax and it’s so cozy. Also, the den is very well done!

[@helloannesjay]

heh thanks for the compliment ^__^

looove the windows in the bedroom! so much light ☺️

Tastefully designed and furnished, especially love the plants accent. Agree with most comments here that the intentional choice of hues while muted work extremely well in an apartment space. Less is definitely classy . ❤ love it

[@natsuhikoakizora]

KZbin's algorithm brought me here, this apartment is so awesome and I love the clean design! For me, maybe I don't want to install the glass partition for the kitchen as it maybe not needed (except to prevent smells when cooking something just in case the cooker hood doesn't help) and I'd like to keep it open. But the good point is it's look symmetrical with the study room beside the kitchen! I also love the color tone and the "Japanese vibe" u try to bring here, good job!

[@helloannesjay]

thank you ^__^

[@OscarANM]

91 sqm is small for you?????

[@damansarajaya88]

@@OscarANM *laugh* I know what you mean having travelled to a few cities where property prices are scarily too high. There’s an exodus of digital nomads to certain parts of Asia and perhaps one of the reason is bigger living space.

[@anthonychan6486]

Fine Details and functionality. Nice to fold clothes while watching the sunset. Pandemic proof with good outdoorsy feel. And love the enclosed kitchen to keep the cooking aroma within. I just hope your cooking filters out and not a recycle type with carbon😉

[@helloannesjay]

haha thank you ^_^ so far our glass kitchen contains most of the smell but sometimes if we didn't close the door properly some smell may leak out haha but we will still open up the balcony when we cook just in case

[@montanawest8161]

[@norman6499]

The light wooden colour and balcony give a nice soothing feeling, only downside is the view of your neighbours in those 50 years old hdb flats and the west sun. Maybe for first time owner they dont feel the full effect of west sun scorching their own house, cannot play play 1

[@helloannesjay]

Hi Norman haha yea I guess there's pros and cons got sun also better for plants and to dry our laundry! haha :p

haha same thank you! all the best for your renovation! :)

[@andrewong2024]

@@helloannesjay may I ask if you had replaced the balcony sliding doors? If yes, was a permit required? And what did you do with the original doors?

[@helloannesjay]

@@andrewong2024 yes we did replace the sliding doors to black ones, no permit required as this is considered as part of the internal space! We discarded the old doors haha

[@Mr3kiwis]

I watched this to see the rooms with half-glass walls as I've been thinking of ways to keep kitchen noise and smells in the kitchen while allowing me to see out (or in) to keep an eye on the kids (human ones). If the windows could be opened, you would have the best of both a separate and open-plan kitchen!

[@helloannesjay]

haha yea we thought of that but still prefer the clean look as usually the windows are in small panels

[@ajazz102]

Great video! just wondering how are you able to have some space for storage and drawers under the office daybed? isn't there where the bay window is?

[@helloannesjay]

Yes there is a bay window but we extended it out from the bay window so the drawer storage space is only half the bed! Will share more in the reno process for more in depth explanation haha

lovely home you got there. In particularly, I love your balcony n plants... lovely! May I ask how long is the your balcony; mine seems to be on the same size..So I tot I ask you if you can share the length n width of it...thanks!

And yes! I like the design; I understand u self-designed; may I know where u get the toilet door? And do u do a 3D drawing so that u can visualize the full apartment outlook?

[@helloannesjay]

heh thank you! we actually did a PDF to tell our ID exactly what we want to do with the space, I'll share more abt the process in the next video! :) The louvre bi folding door is from PD Door! :)

[@florencechua7075]

Hi, happened to see your reno regrets video. I noticed that the mosaic feature wall in your toilet isnt there anymore. Could you share reason of changing it out and if you’ll recommend mosaic tiles. As i am considering on mosaic tiles as the feature wall in the shower area, it looks nice on the 3d render. But i do want it to be practical too.

[@helloannesjay]

Hi there! So sorry for the late reply, I wouldn't recommend Mosiac tiles because of how difficult it is to make the grouting (spacing) in between them even. Unless your tiler is very skilled but I wouldn't risk it

[@nattydabom]

love the study room! can i ask, your bedside wall lamp doesn't have any wiring?

[@helloannesjay]

thank you! for the bedside wall lamp its concealed wiring inside the wall :)

Just love the design of your apartment. Can you tell me what the brand of the drawers under the daybed in the office and your storage cupboards are?

[@helloannesjay]

Hi! Thanks for your compliment :) For all the built-in they are done by our ID carpentry contractor so there's no brand! Unless you're asking for the hardware brand they are EXCEL! Hope this helps!

[@dianavangeles]

It feels more Scandinavian than Japandi. Beautiful for sure!

haha yea I thought so too, maybe 80% scandi defi not 50-50!

[@MegaSmashup2000]

So nice, can i ask where the dining chairs are from? i would love to get them as well, a lot of inspiration from this video!

[@helloannesjay]

Thanks! :) the chairs are from hipvan! Here is the link www.hipvan.com/products/greta-chair-black

[@littlevoice_11]

I would welcome your recommendations for a light accent chair which is Japandi please? And also a white dining chair the same as yours please

[@helloannesjay]

Hi there! :) Hmm if you're looking for japandi style dining chairs I would suggest a natural oak wood color one actually, mainly because full white chair would be hard to maintain in a long run and also in my opinion doesn't really suit japandi style. My chair is available in natural oak here! Hope this helps :) www.hipvan.com/products/greta-chair-natural

[@littlevoice_11]

@helloannesjay o goodness. The dining chair on this link is beautiful. Thank you. I went to purchase but they don't deliver to the UK 😢 I can't find anything similar unless it's rattan, which isn't desirable at mine.

[@helloannesjay]

@@littlevoice_11 oh I didn't know you are based in the UK! Cause my main audience is from Singapore so I thought it would help. If its UK I think something like this would be nice :) www.habitat.co.uk/product/4638052?clickPR=plp:1:18 OR www.habitat.co.uk/product/3416378?clickPR=plp:18:18
