Plants and Vase

This will make or break the design. I always feel that this element is of utmost important to bring some "live" and colour to the house. It is also an area that I am not familiar with. Initially I wanted to do a vertical garden in my yard all the way up to the first floor. Seem like a wishful thinking now as I have "burst" my budget. I am also afraid the plants will die on me. I have seen these plants wilted and browned in many vertical gardens. I don't want to waste that kind of money. I have also thought o using artificial plants. Somehow, it feels lacking. The final choice, or my current choice is some hanging plants like the picture below. It is still hard and expensive. I went to a few nurseries, most of these plants need to grow in half shaded area. As of time of writing, I am still searching. I am not giving up yet. I bought some plants and vases however. All in already costs me Rm 446. Potting mix after searching for my hanging plants. Bought from one...

Curtains

After so many months, finally got this done. Due to budget constrains, I only ordered for the living room. That alone costs me Rm 1200 but it is money well spent. The curtain design is called S-fold or Wave Curtain. I like it because it makes distinct waves. I am pretty happy with this. Colour as it matches the colour scheme of my living room to a T.

Gate and Stairs Railings

These two are from the same person. I actually found them from FB site. They were the cheapest and still are the cheapest. The stairs railing is only at RM 150 psft! And the gate itself only costs me RM 3500 for 14ft powder coated mild steel. I asked for DC motor. It was just RM1400. So in total, I paid RM 4900 for the gate. They were even nice enough to include a small door. Other places that I asked started from RM 4k onwards for the gate. Deluxe quoted me about RM 15k 😱 for the same 14ft. I don't care about all the security features from Delux as I feel that it wouldn't hinder the thieves if they really want to come in. Now, here's my review. I waited quite a bit (about 2 months) for the gate. This was because, I ordered the stairs railing later as they can only do measurement after my contractor has finished the tiling of the stairs. By right, I should be able to get the gate done in mid-March. The usual modus operandi to save cost, they waited for the railing as well...
