When Jo Ann (@home.by.teo) first saw their would-be home, you could say it was already love at first sight. “The minute we walked into the unit, we fell in love with the large balcony overlooking a secluded, glittering pool, which immediately made us feel like we were stepping into a Balinese resort,” she recalled. “We also loved the functional layout...
“The minute we walked into the unit, we fell in love with the large balcony overlooking a secluded, glittering pool, which immediately made us feel like we were stepping into a Balinese resort,” she recalled.
While renovating a home is usually beset with challenges, the price at the end of the journey makes it worth the undertaking. “It came quite naturally for me because when I was living overseas for my university I moved homes 5 times in 5 years,” Jo Ann shared. “In every rental place, I would take it upon myself to style and decorate it in a budget and rental-friendly way, which is how I picked up my passion for DIYcraft projects!”
And so by the time they started actively searching for a contractor, they already had a 3D layout and realistic renders to show, making it much easier for them to explain their concept and for the IDs to give them quotes. But after much deliberation and wanting to stick to our budget, we decided to keep the renovation to a minimum, and to rely more on interior styling to create our space instead.”
They searched around on Instagram and Qanvast for a few contractors, but in the end, they went with a recommendation after seeing their friend’s house in person.”Being able to see the quality of their work and having a trusted review from a close friend was what sealed the deal for us.” “These items spark a lot more joy for me than a purchased artwork ever could,” she stated. Even their customised soap bottle labels, which she designed on Canva with their initials, are well-liked by their family and friends.
She also emphasised the value of having a dedicated storeroom and more storage to keep the home looking tidy. For their future kitchen, she said she would definitely choose to have drawers over cupboards to improve accessibility.
