My fiancé and I brought a double storey house in year 2006 and was completed on Sept 07. Both of us are so excited after we brought the house and always looking forward for the house completion. Almost every weekend, we will be there to see the progress of the development; Visit show houses around in different area; Visit all home expo; book that we will read when we step into bookstore are "Home decor magazines!"; Topics that we talk about was always about house, house, house…. Hahaha, think we are over too excited about owning our first house…
When I share with friends and relatives about the house we brought and things we plan to do, pool of ideas will start inputting from fellow friends and relatives that you should do like this, you shouldn’t do like that… Well, its good to have lots of ideas as a reference and good advice to avoid making the same mistakes as them again, but I think when comes to sharing it is more appropriate to use the word “you may or you could” that will be sounds more appropriate than “you should” because it sounds like an order or spell like it’s a fact which indeed it's not ;P
And when I told them of my plan and budget, they seems given me a common response that is “nuh, you need lots of money to do that” or “its impossible” or “you can if you are lucky enough” or “you need a lots of effort and long time to achieve that”… They may not have intention to stop my plan or idea but this was really their perceptions which think “it is impossible to have a designer home with limited budget”
Well of course to this advice, I absolutely cannot accept because my thinking was “Everything is possible, things are impossible because you do not choose to believe the other side”. So, without trying to argue, I decided to start action to prove them wrong. And guess what the result is? I better not to tell you the result now of whether I am succeeded or not. ;P Perhaps you can guess how much do I spent on décor itself first and you judge whether is reasonable price or affordable to implement the same to yourself or not. See the pics and make a wild guess and stay tuned for the answer in next post! ^_<
