Stirling HDB Terrace - #175 Before Afters

MORE UPDATES!
A quick update on the front entrance of our new place. On the left was the before photo and on the right is our new place! Uncle William has just recently gotten his men to paint the exterior walls from yellow(upper half of unit) to white! YAY!!!

Plus the gutter was getting very rusty at the brackets (where the old money plant was clinging its life too) so we got Uncle William to paint them black. now it looks so much cleaner! Paint is really a good way to cover up old parts when u have a tight budget. Redoing the entire gutter will cost more than just a can of paint.

the workers also painted the back exterior walls white too! Now it's just leaving the gardening work to be done on the outsides. it's one task which i think will take several weekends for us to dig, shovel, clear the dried leaves and buy more potted plants to spruce and green the place.

any ideas for plants?
sis is thinking of heliconias, as their colours are really striking...dad and mum wants a christmas tree so that at Yuletide seasons, we needn't go hunting for a fake one, plus following years, we can save the trouble of pulling the xmas tree out from the store room and putting it back in again! Hubs is thinking of a bird nest fern!- low maintenance...

hahaha....so much for plants. and so many decisions to make.

  1. I heart the white brick walls and the red letterbox!!

    BTW, saw you on Her World....congrats on being touted as Singapore's Carrie Bradshaw! When I first saw it, I was like "hey, she looks familiar!" and I instantly recognize the tulle skirt! Ever thought of putting up outfit related posts on your blog?

    hahaha...thx for remembering me. Guess the tulle skirt is a die giveaway! Don't think I'll do fashion, can't compare to all the sartorial bloggers out there! Stiff competition!!!
