lunar new year day 2

Went friend's house to house visitation. Somehow this trend started only last year because more of my friends got married and started their own nests. 4 of my friends who got married recently are pregnant! The most recent couple, I attended their wedding only last month!

Enjoy seeing how people decorate their houses. Shall jot down some of the interesting decor details. I love it. It's like an intake of interesting ideas and some just spurs my creative juices.

House 1: Mirrored
Lots of mirrors used to creat the effect of a bigger space. Full length mirrors are used at the entrance, hallway, living room and bedroom entrance. Full length mirrors are really a nice touch for the house... but the maintenance is really a horror with kids around, they are easily 'decorated' with fingerprint marks!

House 2: Interesting details
Very normal looking. The only thing I like is the "flower" window grills. And the matching frames in on the wall mirror.

House 3: Bold hues
A few walls are painted deep purple with bright green painting on the walls and bright green dining table chairs. Green orchids are used to add to the same colour theme. It really reflects the owner's personality. But for people who are more conservative, this look may be a little too loud. As an arty farty person, I love it! The louder the better!

House 4: Zen
Another zen look. I love zen look. This house has very clever use of lights. The different type of lights in different rooms create a different effect. The deep grey sofa had maroon cushions to brighten up the look. Minimalist effect. The house had clever hidden panels to hide the store room entrance and wardrobes. Neat!
