Hello, hope you're having a good day!
A little context, we bought a 3-room resale in Punggol.
It was a quick purchase (got the house 7 month after our wedding!) as we needed to move out from my parents place as they were moving out too. We didn't even apply for BTO.
Sharing the little things that we do that made our home, a home. With almost little to no budget as a quite young couple that didn't have time to save up first after marriage. Hopefully to give some inspiration to those that may be in our shoes. Save up little by little and build our house in small steps.
Here we made our first purchase for our house! Our glass gate, digital lock, and sticker door from Luxus. We know we wanted a digital lock from the start to ease ourselves coming home. The tempered glass gate is really aesthetics honestly. Plus we have cats and that's an easy cat proof way to go.
Luxus service wise I would say maybe 7.3/10. Their response time could be a bit slow & sometimes they're not as friendly for a service. Regardless, no regrets on the purchase!
Our door sticker is a Hologram code. It's definitely unique and no regrets on deciding this colour!

Here's the fun part! Our number we created it ourselves! We used airdry clay & shaped it to our door number. It's a bit big for sure but it's kind of the point. With 10 rows of houses through the corridor, definitely can't miss our number out!
We wanted it to be colourful because that's the main point of our house. To be colourful, dopamine hit, & whimsical.
As for the frame, it actually says " السلام عليكم " , Assalamualaikum, that means 'Peace be Upon You' as Muslims say to each other as a greeting. Looks like Chinese calligraphy to you? Yes! Because we purchase it from a Chinese Muslim Artist from a Twilight Fest (if I'm not wrong). If you're keen, I saw he opened up a booth for Ramadan Bazaar @ Geylang. His stall is at the Wisma Geylang sheltered area.
We've had visitors doubting our door cause they were contemplating whether it's a Muslim home or not!
How many cats can you spot?
Our fun purchase is our customised door mat! We choose the design & customised the colour & size of the mat. It's meant to be very cutesy and fun.
If you're interested, you can always custom with her. I did purchase a few more items from them and will definitely be purchasing again!
